I stopped mowing lawns when my girls started playing travel softball. I used to have a Toro Time Cutter 42" zero turn mower with an 18 HP Kawasaki engine. That thing could rip through my 3/4 of an acre in 35 minutes, with bagging. It was a great machine for the money.
I hated the weed whacking and blowing. That's what took the most time. I have an Echo trimmer and a Husqvarna backpack blower still, but they mostly sit in my shed now. I use the blower more frequently, but I haven't started the trimmer in a few years. It was properly stored, so it should be good to go if I ever decide to mow again. For now, it's a landscaping company handling the duties.
