LtlWilli you could top graft that pear over using the rind grafting technique and make yourself a fruit cocktail tree of pears. Here is a link to a youtube video of a guy using the same technique I would http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrE2CkQHudI Graft about 5 varieties of pears on there and you would be eating them in 2-3 years.

I would consider something with a good suspension system (either in the seat or at the wheels) for a ruff yard. As others have said you won't be going much faster it your getting bet to death in the seat? As far as the JDZ445, I don't think it is in the same class of ZTR's as bad boys, exmarks, or hustler's IMO. Naturely they will be alittle more expensive with high dollar parts in them. Usually the difference between 52" and 60" are one more blade, but they ususally are shorter and turn at a higher RPM. I would ask about deck spindle shaft speed, shorter and higher IMO is always better than longer and slower. If you willing to maintain the extra parts (belts, spindles, blades) from three blade vs. 4 blade system. if the 60" has and extra blade. if not then back to shorter vs longer vs blade tip speed IMO? to mow fast and still maintain a quailty cut higher blade tip speed is a must IMO Guy next door to me has hustler, that thing sounds like a vacuum cleaner truck when the blades come up to speed.
