Thanks fellas! That view is from atop the (above ground) pool deck looking out at the back 40. As I've aged...like a fine, I have gone from football/softball field mentality to a 3 hole par 3 mindset. 🤣

You have enough room to have your own distillery and brewery!  yard looks great bud!

I've never seen a robot lawn mower before.

Looks like a great spot for 1 or 2 sets of corn hole boards!

Personal experience - made the leap to a zero turn from a big box store. Ended up with a Husqvarna 54" zero turn for $3500. Was a nice upgrade from the 42" regular riding lawn mower....for 3¼ years. During this time, the cut did leave a small but noticeable strip of taller grass. My research showed this was a common occurrence with Husqvarna. Mind you, I only mow from April-October. Ended up losing a transmission (zero turns have 2 transmissions) and the other was starting to slip. These transmissions are sealed units and not repairable. Naturally, however, they are replaceable. The cost per each transmission (part only) was $759. Adding in the cost of labor, the total would be $2400 to repair a 3 year old lawn mower. 

I cannot speak for their other products, but the zero turns are what I determine to be inferior. I do know the mowers sold at big box stores are a far lesser quality mower. 

Anyhow, just some food for thought for anyone considering a riding lawnmower/zero turn. 

I managed to run over the lawnmower cable so we got this bad boy which is better for the environment but hard work 

stripes, for the juggler.

Thank you Wobble.

It was interesting coming across this photo as that was the 'before' photo and this is the after photo (fence wise):
