Many of you know that we are buying a house in a rural setting with nearly 6 acres of land (only about 2 are "lawn" that gets mowed).

The current owners have a 3 year old Cub Cadet Zero turn mower that they were going to keep, but they've decided not to (no place to put it, apparently). They offered it to us for $1500. That sounds like a pretty good deal to me, but since the biggest mower I've ever had was a 22" push mower that probably cost $150-250, I don't really know for sure.

This seems like just the thing for the new property and a good deal. It had an "hour meter." Unfortunately, I didn't note what it said. I think it was double digits, maybe 50.1, but I can't remember for sure. It looks like trying to get a comparable Cub Cadet these days would be >$3k. I got it started no problem which is impressive since it was 45º.

This is what I found online for specs.
