Select Series Mowers for 1/2 to 2 Acres With Trees and Obstacles

A half acre with thirty trees takes longer than two open acres. We see it every week across Ohio and Indiana: the mowing is easy, the getting around things is not. Four-wheel steer changes how much hand trimming you finish the day with.

Most 1 to 5 acre yards here have 20-plus obstacles.
Around half of trimming time is spent circling trees.

Four-Wheel Steer Cuts the Trimming

A conventional lawn tractor leaves a ring of uncut grass at every tree, post and downspout. Four-wheel steer turns the rear wheels with the fronts, so the machine pivots tight and comes back around the trunk on the same pass. Customers with mature shade trees tell us this is the difference between finishing in an hour and finishing with a string trimmer. The X330 and X350 are built for exactly that yard.

Pick Your Deck by Gate Width

On a cluttered property the bigger deck is not automatically faster. The 48-inch deck moves more grass per pass and suits open side yards and a front acre. The 42-inch deck fits through most backyard gates and threads between close-set trees and landscape beds without scuffing bark. Measure your narrowest gate and your tightest tree spacing first, then choose. We will bring both out and let you drive the property.

When the Job Grows Past Mowing

Plenty of our acreage Customers start with a mower and come back for a tractor. Trees mean limbs to haul, mulch to move and a driveway that needs grading every spring. A compact tractor with a loader handles that work, and it snow blades the drive in January when the mower is parked. Keep the Select Series for what it does best and add iron for the rest.

Questions we get on this job

Is four-wheel steer really worth it on one acre?

It depends on obstacle count, not acreage. If you have more than fifteen or twenty trees, beds and posts to work around, the time you save on trimming shows up the first weekend. On open ground it matters far less.

Will the X350 fit through my backyard gate?

The 42-inch deck version clears most standard residential gates, but gate widths vary more than people expect. Measure the narrowest opening you need to pass, and we will confirm the fit before you buy.

What is the difference between the X330 and the X350?

Both are Select Series machines with four-wheel steer. The X350 steps up in engine and transmission specification for hillier ground and heavier grass. We will walk you through both against your actual yard.

Can I see one on my own property first?

Yes. We will arrange a demo on your site so you can run it around your own trees and gates. We stock parts for these machines and our technicians are trained on them.
