Three acres? $10K? Get a Dixie Chopper and you can fly through the open spaces and trim close around trees or whatever.
I have a 1970 Wheelhorse hydrostatic with a 42" deck. I used to pull a 60" Swisher trailing mower behind it, and offset to the left. That was a pretty good combination. Two years ago, a friend looked at it and said "Do you like that thing?" I said "Yes!" He said, "Well, I've got a Swisher like that in my garage that I don't use. Do you want it?" I jumped at the chance, and now I pull two (2) of them behind the old Wheelhorse - one offset to the right, another to the left. With a 3" overlap on each side, it cuts 13 FEET at 3mph. Smooth ride, good cut, turns sharp, will mow close to trees, and so far, no problems. I do wear hearing protection and safety goggles. Have to listen to the hum of three different engines, but it mows large spaces in a hurry, and I have very few $$ invested.
