Planning to buy a zero turn mower soon for my 1.2 acre lot where I'm currently building my house. The reviews are all over the place, I'd like a 52" cut,have about a 15° sloped bank to the water's edge. Suggestions?

What is your budget? I have a Gravely ZT HD 52” with a Kawasaki FR691V engine and am very satisfied with it. There are a lot of good mowers out there. I’d look for local dealerships that also provide service.

I have a John Deere big box z425 that I’ve beat the ever living shite out of for coming up on 15-20 years and she still runs great with regular maintenance. And I’ve had work done to it at the local John Deere dealer with no hassle. Don’t let people here convince you big box mowers are crap or that you’ll be ostracized for it from mechanics.

Check Facebook marketplace. Lots of times you can find a commercial unit (Scag/Exmark) with low hours within your budget.

6-9k is a lot for a 1.2 acre lot. You’ll be mowing less than that after home is built. If you want new then you can’t go wrong with gravely HD, Badboy ZT elite (or a magnum or rambler would probably work just fine), or Exmark. See how close the service is for those brands and go from there.

Buying any riding mower boils down to one thing over the long hall, maintenance. If you DIY, can you get the parts you need and how easy is it to maintain? If you like service how reliable is a dealer you can access?
Once you spec it out, any zero turn can cut grass. But keeping them running is where the happiness lies.

Check out the Grasshoppers. They have a nice residential/commercial combo type setup. You check them out and you see pretty quickly that they are built better than any mower out there.
Not saying they are the only good options, but they are fantastic mowers. Really really regret getting rid of mine (downsize in yard) although I have had zero issues with my Toro.
