Home use wide cut mower opinions

I have a Quick36 on order but it's been delayed and now I see on their website that the model I ordered is no longer listed. In anticipation of my order being cancelled (and hopefully a prompt refund) I am considering other wide cut mowers for home use. Hopefully I can get some opinions.

Conditions:

fair number of obstacles, park in shed with 44 inch door, not too bad for hills but a couple of semi-steep ditches so prefer a walk behind to a rider. I also have some narrow spaces to pass through so 36 inches is probably max width.

1.5 hours mowing with a 22" so far but will take longer as summer heats up.

Here is what I have some up with:

Craftsman-10.5 hp 33" Briggs & Stratton Wide Cut

Is this mower made in Indonesia? I'm not anti-Indonesia, but I'd prefer a US made mower simply because I live in the US and like to support the US. Otherwise it looks like a decent mower.

Home Pro 34 from Billy Goat

From what I can tell it's made in the US. A bit more money than the Craftsman but less than the Quick36.

I'm open to other suggestions also. I'm still hoping the Quick36 comes through for me but I need to be ready with my options. Summer is fast approaching and I don't want to push 1.5-2 hours in the heat. I may go for a Snapper RER except the ditches have me concerned.

Thanks
