Anyone bought an Exmark recently?

Paying for the name buddy.

Look at Gravely, hustler, scag.

Difference between gravely and hustler is the color. So pick between orange/red or yellow.

Have owned ex Mark, and 2 gravelys.

I’d choose the latter unless you’re mowing 2x week and trying to win “garden of the month” every month.

KUBOTA

Owner/operator of a lawn service here...I’ve had great success running exmark. I have recently also been operating a scag and I would definitely recommend you look at those as well. Really can’t go wrong with any of
The major brands, and I have run pretty much every brand, it’s mostly about proximity to a dealership you can work with when it comes to maintenance.

I only cut with one well over 10 years ago and it was a 1 time use. I can’t honestly tell you anything about that brand from personal experience, but I have read some good reviews about them.

Kubota 100%

I have a 72inch exmark diesel. Kubota engine. Older mower but make you a good deal.

Frame suspension will effect cut quality. Check out the Scag Cheetah Z, the entire operator platform is on suspension but the frame is not. This puts suspension where it needs to be w/o losing cut quality.

Well regardless of brand, if it breaks down in the summer try not to cry when they say it will be four to six weeks for a repair. Grass grows pretty high in that amount of time.

Fortunately my dealership puts business owners back in action pretty quickly, but I also have enough equipment to always have a backup ready to go. With that said, break downs have been minimal with the exmark and scag other than simple fixes like a belt.
