I have about 1/2 acre, but the house takes up a decent portion of the land.

I will be looking for a decent walk behind mower next year....not a rider.

I've had John Deere 22" cut, a Honda 21" (which I really liked, but the
motor blew up), back to John Deere (which was horrible),

What was the problem with the JD? Mine has been doing a great job for 7 or
8 years now. Starts on the first pull every time
