Hustler or Scag (if you don't mind doing the toil of shopping the Net) are the two brands I would be focused on in that price range. New ones are in the $13K +/- range.
The reason why is that they're identified in forum after forum by the mechanics who fix 'em as being the two brands @ the top of the heap in rugged durability. Your 2 acres + would seem to indicate you need something bada** to do the job.
Personally, if I were getting one for postage stamp sized lawn mowing of 1/2 acre and less, I'd be looking at something the size of a Toro Grandstand 30", 36" cut or so 'standing-up' mower. It just appeals to me in size and I'm not one that likes to sit down when mowing. .02......
