Goodnight all.
Tibby. That's a reasonable amount of grass to cut. Hills too (just take em strait up and down if you can...no sideways). You really need to find a local dealer of a well-respected brand that will be around for a while....so you can get service if you have a problem.
Then you have to shop for features. Some tractors...you drive over the deck, then lower the deck suspension and attach pins. No sliding it in or out. Others...it's a bit more work. You really need to shop if you have those concerns. They can all take a cart for that 50 lb bag. Size varies. However, attachments take some H.P. and features if they require power. A snow blade for all two flakes that you get down there is probably not a big deal on most any of them...just check that it's an option. IDK how easy it would be for you to do it (swap deck for blade).
Maybe a small snow thrower (Toro or such) is a better option so you can single-purpose it. Again...depends on amount of snow and how long it lasts.
Don't they have school kids that want to earn a few $$$ anymore? A lot of this stuff could be done by them. But...some areas are "grown up"...not many kids around anymore. Sheesh!
Ultimately...you have to be happy with it and be sure you can handle it. Too small and you'll overwork it with 2 acres and attachments. Too big and you either overspend or don't feel comfortable. What do you do with Geoff's pasture? Go "touch and feel" some so you get an idea....and shop for sales.
There are plenty of USA based dealers and the one you quoted is a well respected Swedish brand. The question I have is: What dealers are around you?

Others require that you slide the deck out.
These are both John Deere vids...but other mowers are similar.

Note I'm really not pushing this brand over others but:
John Deere Worldwide - Special Offer
Like I said...I'm using a nice Cub Cadet. So YMMV

this time we'll nip it in the bud if you do!
that sounds almost like a challenge.....
lol.
My GF absolutely LOVES peeps. But only if they are stale on the outside. So she gets them (I give her some every Easter) and then she opens the pack and lets them sit for a few days. IDK why. Makes zero sense to me, but if she likes that cool.
