Overview

Brock runs a timed head-to-head test mowing the same field with his zero-turn and his tractor's mid-mount deck, 21 minutes versus 48, then walks through price points, setup time, maneuverability problems, and weight issues specific to larger machines. He also briefly covers flail mowers and finish mowers as alternatives. Best for acreage buyers weighing whether a tractor deck can replace a dedicated mower.
