Unless you have alot of tight places to manoeuvre around, a ZTR would have no real benefit for your application. If you have alot of rough cutting, you had better get a REAL tractor and a Bush Hog to mow with. Cutting a lot of weeds, is not what a conventional lawn tractor or lawn mower is designed to do. They are mean for cutting lawns, not weeds. If you buy a regular lawn tractor, you will be buying another one very soon, as it will get worn out from excessive loads, and dirt which will eat the machine alive.
