I have a 520-8 speed that I mow with, with a 60" deck doesnt take long!!!
We bought a used Exmark Lazer Z with a 60" deck that is now our main mower which gets the yard done in about 3 1/2 hours. Getting the Exmark is what helped me decide to do the full resto on this. The original plan was just getting it running and usable. The Wheel Horse is more of a back up, but with a 42" cut it is going to take a few more passes. I looked around a little on Red Square and found some good information. I didn't want to register over there, because I'll likely never go back once this is up and running.
