Despite my better judgement, I find myself looking at a home on 5ac with 3-4 being grass. For you guys with big yards, how long is it going to take me to mow 3-4ac with a 5’ zero turn mower? I bushhog my fields at the farm all the time, but it doesn’t matter if I let it get out of hand. Mama ain’t gonna be happy with that scenario. Hopefully eventually get a few acres of it in wild flowers and a garden etc.

3/4 hours tops. I’m on an acre and a half. Brother is an acre and dad is an acre. I usually cut all three when I cut.
I’d imagine if you keep it cut regular not much time. But if it has Bahai then maybe a little longer. That grass gets tall
I have to go over another time sometime on thick spots.
But my centipede and st Augustine. One swipe and it’s a wrap.

I mow around 4-5 acres on a John Deere Z960 5ft mower. It moves pretty quick and takes around 1 1/2-2 hrs but not mowing a nice flat rectangular field either.

Mowing is the biggest waste of a man's time there is. That being said , 3 acres, no trimming , not many trees and such to mow around , hammer down , I'm gonna guess 1.5 hours .

Round up is your friend. Spray about a foot around every tree, water faucet, power pole & guide wire, fence, and so on. This will let you cut past this kind of stuff & never slow down. I use ear buds & sound blocking headphones & listen to tunes while mowing. It helps pass the time. I always grease all the mowers grease fittings & make sure it’s fueled up before I start. No reason to stop until it’s done that way.

Mowing is the biggest waste of a man's time there is. I couldn’t agree more! I absolutely despise cutting grass and yard work in general. However, I do like the way my yard looks when I’m finished. On the other hand, I can spend countless hours on the tractor and enjoy every minute. 😁
