Two-map support is documented by MOVA, and the Ultra 2000 is rated for half an acre of grass in total. Go for the Ultra 1000 if you have two small lawns, or the 3000 AWD when the combined area and slopes call for more hardware. Where no safe connecting path exists, plan on moving the mower between lawns.
