Default Lawn tractor engines

I'm in the market for a lawn tractor and would like to know if it's
worth the extra cost to go to a 2 cylinder engine versus a single,
they both have about the same h/p rating and displacement. I have
about 4 acres to mow, will spend a fair number of hours mowing and I'm
a large guy, about 250 lbs, so I think I'll be looking for a mower in
the 18 to 22 h/p range. Any thoughts on this would be a real help.

Get a skid steer 60" cut 757 John Deere. I have one and is the best mower
I ever bought.

Thanks for the response but with a tag price of $5,995 it's too rich
for my blood.
