Suggest looking at Commercial Grade Zero Turn mowers - they will cut faster with faster blade speed than residential mowers, be built better to last longer, and are ever so much more manueverable than garden tractor style mowers.
We mow approx 4 acres which is mostly flat with a couple of small rolling hills but has lots of trees, bushes, and other obstructions. We thought we were in TALL COTTON when we bought our first MTD 20Hp Garden tractor w/ Hydrostatic trans and 46" deck and when we'd get done in approx 5 hours!
Approx 7 years ago bought a low hour EXMARK Lazer HP 20HP/48" deck - could mow in 3 hours. Now also have another EXMARK with 23HP and 52" deck - still very maneuverable between trees but the extra width on LH side is much easier to trim around obstables.
I think SCAG, EXMARK, DIXIE CHOPPER, KUBOTA, all make good Commercial grade machines. I also think TORO is now owned by EXMARK.
Yes, they cost more initially, but a combination of the faster blade speed and maneuverability make the job get done a lot faster. And, thus wear & tear on the mower per mowing season.
If really cost restricted, I'd look at the Cub Cadet Zero turn at TSC.
All machines will need service and parts sometime - do you have a good dealer of a specific brand nearby?

This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
