Zero Turns.

Joe if you look at Scags, see if the warranty transfers. They are billed as the best warranty on the market. 5 years or 500 hours... If I remember right.

Ask some of the grass cutters you run into around here. Most are very well made and service and parts close to you I’d say is most important factor. Get commercial grade and never buy another one just cutting your yard. All of them brake down. Most around here run gravely. Upgrade to a good seat and get a bigger deck than you think you need.

I have 4 acres
Regular riding mower 2.6-3 hrs
Zero turn 50” toro 2 hours
Commercial gravely 60” 1 hour

Do what is best for you. Also w the better mowers you won’t have to rake or blow leaves in your yard.

pick a good local dealer and buy what he sells. Dealer support is more important than minor differences between several brands of good machines.

The last two post brought up a very good point that I had forgot about. Local service dealer!

I did this research a few years back and landed on Hustler mowers. Bang for your buck kind of thing.

I have a Hustler and really like it. I have had it 3 or 4 years now. Dad has one TOO.

60” Lazer Z...no complaints here.

This^^^ exactly why we still have a hustler

Ain't exact zero turn really unless you release the horsepower and do donutes with it. Definitly has the 'cool factor' built in to it though

Thanks everyone for your advice. I've been looking at quite a few different brands and have so far eliminated the Cub Cadet, JD, and Husquvarna as people online seem to be having a bunch of issues with them.

My hustler is awesome as far as ride goes. It has the air ride feature, where you set it your body weight. If you feel the bump riding it, it means you need to slow it down. It is very service friendly also. Take care of all my own maintenance.

I did locate this Hustler today from a guy that is moving. 260 hours on it. A little small on the deck size but it looks taken care of.

That hustler looks like a pressed deck Joe.

That hustler looks like a pressed deck Joe.

It's supposedly a fabricated welded steel deck.

. My feelings too. Because if you look at it it looks pressed. Now that Bad boy mower in the other hand is obviously fabricated.

Check with the dealers, I bought mine new with 0 % financing.
