re: Zero Turn Lawn Mower Recommendations

Do your research and identify which dealers in your area provide good service and have good reputations. Equally important, identify the dealers to avoid.

Which mower you eventually get will be a function of the features most beneficial to your needs, the quality of the mower (most likely based on friends recommendations), and the price.

There will likely be a couple of mowers which fit your criteria--this is where the dealer will be the deciding factor.

And pay attention to the trans-axles, they are the lifeblood of a ZTR. If your land is flat and level, most mowers will serve you well.

I have a Cub Cadet ZTX5 and it is a beast. I have a fairly steep slope and needed the beefier trans-axles and wide tires for traction--and it delivers. When I've finished mowing, the yard looks awesome. Cub Cadet did a great job designing the mower deck too.
