Hi Norm,
There are a few reasons why I plan to mow with a ride-on rather than slashing with a tractor:
1. They are much cheaper
2. I don't have much storage space
3. I want to avoid compacting the soil too much.

I am thinking about buying a Greenfield because:
1. They mow fast and can get the job done reasonably quickly.
2. They seem to be well built.
3. And, honestly, they look cooler than other mowers.

I'm open to other suggestions though.
