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?"
