I think you will be happier with a mid mower, not a pull behind gang reel, or 3 point mower. I have a much smaller John Deere 955 (4x4 35 HP)with a 52" front end loader, and a 72" mid mounted mower. With the foot controlled hydrostatic, and the power steering, it is almost a pleasure to mow with it (especially compared to most riders or garden tractors).
The 3 point mower takes some getting used to, and planning to mow up close to objects in the yard....whichever way you steer the front tires, the mower goes in the opposite direction, and is big anough no to care what it chops down. The gang reel mowers are great for wide open areas with no trees or obsticles.
There are so many nice used outfits out there to choose from, let somone else take the big depriciation hit.
