Something of that nature probably won't have a perfect turning radius, or be the best for towing attachments and such, but more in the ballpark of where I need to be.

True. Cost is one reason why I don't have one yet. We don't have a big lot but it is on a hill and the backyard is getting to be more of a pain as we get older. Have to get something in a few years though. It wears me out watching my wife cut the backyard with that push mower.
