Hustler, Gravely, Exmark, Skag, or Bad Boy?

I am currently looking at the Hustler 54" Fastrack Super Duty for $6800. I have a Hustler 48" Fastrack now and it's been great and they are also rated the best for the money but I just want to weigh all of my options before I buy.

I have never owned any of the other above mentioned mowers, but they all have good specs and reviews. I hate Toro equipment though and they make Exmark so that would be my last choice probably. Dixie Chopper and Grasshoper mowers are out due to price.

I have heard Snapper now makes one of the top of the line rated commercial ZTRs. Is this true?

Thoughts?

If I was going with a large zero turn like you are talking about, I would check out the Kubota line...

Scag is top of the line stuff. Worth the price, but honestly might be overkill unless you are doing commercial maintenance.

Hustler and Bad Boy get great reviews and would be what I would look at.

I was going to come in here and give you all I had on normal people mowers.

But once I read your choices, I'm feeling a little impotent plus have a bad case of mower envy.

Thanks a lot

Toro does not make Exmark. Exmark makes its own commercial ZTRs. And actually Exmark builds the Toro frames for them.

Like my diesel Gravely ZTR a lot.I like not worrying about crappy ethanol gas. Buy where best service is.

Go with a Bad Boy with the welded deck. Whatever you do, don't buy one with a stamped deck.
