Mowers for 7 acres

2 replies

Recommendations on mowers please! We have a small holding comprising 5.5 acres sloped fields with animals grazing and 1.5acres garden.

I would like a robo one but DH would prefer something tractor-esque that he can drag a trailer with. We have occasional mowing of the fields to keep weeds down, but mostly the garden. Would a robo cover this area anyway?

What are your recommendations, please?

Your post is confused, clearly a robo mower is never going to do seven acres, you need a serious lawn tractor.

Any ride on lawn mower will be enough for the 1.5 acre garden.

You want a topper for the weeds in the paddocks, if you mow it what will your animals eat? You could probably get a contractor in to top once a year rather than buying a two pieces of machinery to do it.

What would the trailer be for?
