Howdy Ags,
So my dad's got a house in Aggieland that I'm house sitting while I look for a job and he takes care of some family business in California. When I do finally get my first professional job, I'll almost certainly have to move out and leave the yard work to him. Normally not a problem, but he's 72 years old this year and his knees/back are showing it.
For the sake of my mom not worrying about him, I wanna get him a riding mower as soon as I can afford it, but I figure y'all would know the best one for his purposes. The yard is about 3/4 of an acre all told with about a quarter acre of it more or less untamed with lots of trees and weeds. We've got St. Augustine grass, if that makes a difference, and given his propensity for yard projects, if it has some light tractor functionality so much the better.
Any recommendations?
