When I moved to a 5 acre farm (about 2 acres to mow) 21 years ago, I mowed it with a John Deere 216 with a 46" mower. It also had a snow blade, but even with chains and weights in the Winter, I was always getting stuck, it it took forever to clean my two driveway's drifts.
About 15 years ago I bought a used John Deere 955 with 33 HP, diesel, 4x4, foot control hydrostatic, 3 point hitch, 72" belly mower and a 52" front end loader. I have used it more and more each year that I've owned it and rarely a day goes by that I'm not using the loader for cleaning horse stalls, pulling logs from the creek, loading my truck with scrap metal, hay, or firewood, and mowing 2 lots. I love it and will never go back to a garden tractor.....well worth the money.
