Do I fall in America's lower, middle, or upper class? How your income stacks up in the US economic class system

Back in 2001 when I bought my first house, I went to Lowes and bought a push lawn mower. The house was in a subdivision so I only had just over 1/4 an acre of land so there wasn't much grass to cut. I don't remember why (other than being lazy...LOL), but I initially just hired someone to cut the grass. Somehow that just continued...

When I sold the house in 2016, I sold the lawn mower for $50. It was still brand new...never even had any oil or gas in it.
 
I have 10 acres, about 2 of them grass that must be mowed. I inherited a Kubota from my dad that is an amazing mower.
But I have some areas that need to be bush hogged and we frequently get trees or large branches down. That's where the tractor comes in handy. And dirt to be hauled, grading, smoothing the gravel driveway, etc.

I've been looking at zero turns lately, you can get one with hydraulic Bat-Wings for about $25 grand,,, I just rebuilt the 6 year old Husky for about $300. The Husky doesn't zero turn, but I can work around that. I wonder if anyone with a Z-turn ever forgot they were pulling a trailer or implement and spun around into it? I also wonder if anyone would ever admit to it??

Not sure which zero turn you have but the one I'm looking at is nowhere near $25k and for that amount of money I wouldn't be pulling a trailer or implement so I wouldn't have to worry about forgetting. Dang...that's a lot of cash...which is the same as money.

Kinda depends what you want to use one for. For plain cutting grass, zero turn mowers go through it like nothing else. But I needed the versatility of a tractor. The "lawn tractors" (and I mean real tractors, not the stuff Home Depot sells) with belly mowers cut grass well, yet they have a three point hitch, PTO, etc. You can even get loaders on some of them.
