For someone who works full time, a 1/2 acre lawn can be a lot to mow for two hours at a time two or three times a week with a push mower, especially if the grass gets too long between mowings BTDT.
A riding mower, lawn tractor or garden tractor will get the yard mowed two or three times faster than a push mower with less effort and will do a better job of mulching tall grass if desired. A garden tractor can take a mounted snow blower, they can all pull a garden cart when needed, they weigh maybe 500 pounds maximum and are far easier to store, haul and repair than a larger tractor. A larger tractor could weigh 2500 to 4000 pounds, that weight will compact the lawn and eventually leave ruts anytime the yard is mowed when the ground is too wet.
A half acre lawn is light work for a riding mower or zero turn mower, even a used unit will last well over a decade. The cheap riding mowers and tractors may not turn very short, maybe a 5 foot inside turning radius. trimming close to trees and edges can be difficult. The larger tractors with a belly mower will need even more room to turn, maybe a 10 foot turning radius unless you use the turning brakes and tear up the turf.
