If you're going to get a riding mower, get a ZTR. It almost eliminates the need to own a weed-eater. At 6'3", I've never found a weed-eater that didn't require me to hunch over to use.
Almost love the mowing. Can't stand the trim work...

5 acres of grass is considerable to say the least! I'm allergic to grass but cutting grass is sort of fun and rewarding - with the right gear!
+1000 on the zero turn rider. I was seriously looking at them (commercial quality) to replace on old garden tractor and then my wife found out the price I was considering paying. She quickly found someone to cut the lawn! So anyway, these guys show up with 2 water cooled Scag Turf Tigers last Thursday - and I swear they cut the grass in less than 12 minutes flat. It was nothing short of amazing.
