Looking for a zero turn
Posted on 8/19/16 at 12:05 pm

I have about half of an acre yard and currently cut it with a snapper rear engine rider but I'm looking to upgrade. Front yard is no problem but my back yard gets really thick and that snapper struggles with it. It's a 500cc 14.5hp 33" cut.
So I found these 3 and need some help with making a decision.
John Deere Z335E
Toro SS4225
Cub Cadet RZTL
The Toro comes with a 4 year warranty so I think I'm leaning towards that one but open to suggestions

All of the residential models are basically the same quality wise. Spend a couple extra grand and buy a commercial mower and it'll likely be the last mower you ever buy.

I have the 32" version of that Toro and it works well.

I have the Cub Cadet RZT 50, which is probably too big for my yard but I got it for $300. It's a beast and I've yet to have an issue with it in the 2 years I've owned it.

My Toro held up good right until the warranty ran out then it became a piece of crap. Got rid of that crap and pay a kid to cut it now.

Just got a hustler. Very satisfied. Well built.

Had a JD425 for something like 8 years now. Happy with it.

I was in the same boat about 2 months ago - looked at all the home Depot and lowes models, ending up going with a Gravely ZT42 awesome little zero turn with tons of power.

I got a 52" hustler several months ago, and have been really happy with it.

Hustler Raptor, Gravely ZT or ZTHD for a little extra
Im actually looking at the Snapper PRO pretty hard right now, basically a ZTHD equivalent.

1/2 an acre would be a piece of cake with the 42" Toro. I was also using a 33" Snapper rear engine and bought a 2011 Toro 42" ZTR with a 20hp Kawasaki. I'm cutting 1 acre at the parent's house and another acre at my house with 3 acres of buffer zone (snake habitat) and highway frontage that I cut every 6-8 weeks. No need for the commercial machine, especially at the price you are quoting.

Anybody have any suggestions for an exmark that seems to not cut completely level? There always seems like little divits on each row I cut no matter where I cut. I've changed the blades a few times. Mower is only a year old and seems to have always done it
Just the way it is? Everybody's does that to an extent, just can't really tell from the road? I'm anal![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)
