Zero turn suggestions

Possibly looking to get a new commercial duty zero turn to mow some pretty big acreage. I was kind of looking at the Kubota ZD1211, but have been intrigued by the new Spartan mowers as well. They seem to be big on looks, but I was just wondering if any of you guys had any time on either one of these machines. For what it's worth, I have a 27 hp gas Kubota that has treated me very well. Just looking for different opinions from those on here who may have had any experience with the two mowers mentioned above.

3 or 4 acres of relatively smooth pasture land.

That ain't much. I cut 3 acres on a 54" John deere residential model in an hour and 15 minutes.
Set a budget and shop accordingly. You can easily stay under $4k for that.

Kubota will outlast the spartan.
Sold both until I finally sold my shares in the business retiring last month.
We kept Kubota for Govt accounts that would use the mowers 8 hours of continuous use 5 days a week.
As a dealer this is not everyone’s mower as the price tag scares people off.
You get what you pay for.

Spartans are nice. I have had mine for two years. Thing can move and has held up. Mow 5 acres once a week.
I would say...
Spartan with vanguard 36hp
Gravely with Kawasaki
Scag with Kawasaki

300 series Kubota would work, I have a zd221 54 for one acre. Doesn’t cut as pretty as my old examrk but wouldn’t go back to a gas one again. Smooth, quiet, quick starts, etc. only thing I would do different is get a suspension seat, Kubota calls for higher pressure in their tires than the exmark, rides a little rougher. 300 and larger are pretty heavy weight wise. I think the 221 is over 1000 pounds, I had to learn to vary my cuts to keep ruts from forming.

Hustler Raptor. Have 2 acres where I live + own 2 - 2 acre lots. Takes me about an hour to cut here at the house. Have about 25 trees and big flower beds to cut around.
The 2 - 2 acre lots are side by side. Takes about 2 hour 15 minutes to cut them if I cut once a week in the spring. If I cut every 2 weeks in spring it is close to 3 hours.
4 year 400 hour warranty when I bought it 3 years ago. No problems at all.
