Any advice on zero turn mowers?

Gravely

Cub Cadet is great

Start with a dealer you want to deal with for parts and service. They all break eventually and it’s a bitch hunting down someone to work on your crap when the company doesn’t have a good dealer in the area.

I bought a 2nd hand Hustler commercial mower that currently has 18000+ hours on it with the 25 hp Kawasaki. I can recommend either brands. My next mower will definitely have a Kawasaki engine.

I have a diesel Kubota. They are pricey but last forever.

I had a John Deere and the belt broke once every 4 or 5 cuts. I got a Bad Boy about 2 years ago and have had great success with it, no problems at all

Toro

I bought one this season. Extensive research was done. I liked bad boy.

Specifically the ZT Elite Limited Ed.

My yard is just at 2ish acres as well.
I wanted top end residential or e try level commercial.

Researching told me to invest in transmissions engines and ride comfort. I dont.mention deck quality bc scag/hustler/bad boy are all going to have solid products for their decks.

The one I chose had 3100 hydro transmission a brigs engine with the vanguard block. 60inch cut and a very comfy seat.

Cash price is $5990

I enjoy my scag got a veterans deal on it last year.

I’ve had a gravely 52” for four years and it’s the sheet. Whichever you go with just change the oil & filter, blades, fuel filter, and air filter before each year. Drain the gas when ya put her up for the winter. She’ll last forever. Most models you can order a kit for preventative maintenance for $80-$100 online. Some even come with blades. It’s easy to do yourself and save big money. Watch YouTube videos if ya aren’t already knowledgeable on doing it yourself.
