re: Help me pick a zero turn mower

I can give you my 2 cents. I have a hustler 54" raptor super duty, bought 2014. Its been okay. Cuts great, but its been in the shop 5 times over 10 years. mainly transmission mount/link problems. Buy from one of the big dealers because you will get better service when something goes wrong.

My hustler's oil drain is in the worst spot and its a pain in the arse to change the oil...I hope they've modified since I bought 10 years ago.

Someone mentioned the Skag freedom/liberty and they are solid, you'll pay a bit more but they have a better warranty. This will be my next mower.


Do not buy from Home Depot, Lowes or anywhere else that doesn't provide service.
