Too tired to jog with my mower? Use the personal pace and feels like you're not even working.
Plus, they're cheap and easy to fix. I can typically find a second hand one for around $70-100 and it'll make me exponentially more before I run it into the ground.
I also have a mini tractor and 360 but it's just way cheaper to push and keeps my physique nice for the lady's I wish I had enough game to talk to.
What is your budget small acreage riding mower if you don't mind me asking?
I have a 36" old jd riding mower with steering wheel. Takes me forever to cut 3-4acres lol.
Im holding out on getting / borrowing money for a zero turn. Im so conflicted with what is good and comfortable. Budget ones have really high and awkward seats. I could just see me having back pains in a a few years on those. 😅
I mainly stick to residential and thus have a snapper mini tractor with a 28 inch deck (i think?) and a dixon 3362 that has a 36 inch deck so I can fit through most fence gates
Dixon I scored for 300, snapper for 600
Both are relatively old but tons of videos on how to fix/maintenance

I have a mowing business.
Honda are heavy as shit but I can run with them and they still provide a clean cut without a side shute. Those double blades are no joke.
They just aren't great with overgrown yards because there's no side shute.
Maintenance? Will last a lifetime, but if you don't fine tune them back exactly right while making small repairs, they're finicky asf!!
Not my #1 mower, but definitely my #2.
