1/3 Acre Lawn On A Hill

Hi Guys! The lawn in question is steep enough so that I would want a pressure lubrication engine. Originally thinking of the Exmark Metro 26 as suggested by Mints a few weeks ago but the lawn is more than I would care to cut with a walk behind. Looking at the Kohler powered Simplicity Coronet with Hydro transmission and twin blades as well as the Kohler powered Snapper with Disk Drive and single blade. The property has about six 40 ft Beech trees that need to be cut around as well as various flower beds and a childrens swing set / play center. I don't know if it is significant but the Coronet is 2" lower than the Snapper and also has a floating deck design.Having no experience with riders I would welcome any and all suggestions. In addition it appears they are doing the same fudging of the HP ratings on the lawn equiptment that we discoverd on the snow blowers. The FJ 180 Kawi on the Toro ProLine 22177 is called a 6.5HP while the same engine on the Exmark Metro 26 is called a 6HP. Exmark is owned by Toro. Marc

Hi Guys! Don't know the pattern of how my son is going to cut the lawn because he won't be closing on the house till 6/30. By that time the lawn will be in full growing mode so we want to have made a purchase by then. Mints- I clicked on that 30316 you posted but can't find the exact model! Is it a Toro? Marc
