stiga villa mowers

[RAINDODGER]

Looking to purchase a front deck mulching mower was looking at a stiga villa 14 has any one any thoughts on this machine or is there a better alternative. Have around a half acre to cut on a fairly level site.
the cost is coming in around 2,900

Mulching mowers are thought not to be a great idea for our climate as the grass is too moist, they are more for dry clmates. Also shop around for price we bought a 1 yr old Stiga 20hp 42" deck for 2 k
