You've gotten good recommendations on ZTR mowers, and they would do a nice and quick job cutting your lawn. If a tractor is what you prefer, for whatever reason, I'd recommend the Cub Cadet SLT1554, or Deere LT180, or LT190, or Simplicity Broadmoor or Massey Ferguson 2600 (clone of Simplicity Broadmoor). If you are on a tighter budget and looking to keep the costs below $2000, then your choices are Deere "L" series, Cub 1000 series and Craftsman, and I'd probably recomment the Craftsman DYT4000, as the best value for the $$$$.
