I am looking at a buying a Hustler Raptor SD 60" should I give anything else a look?
Like the title states I am looking at purchasing the Hustler Raptor SD 60" after looking at them at my local dealer. Is there anything else in the $4,499.00 price range that I should be looking at? I will be mowing 1 3/4 acre of mostly flat land with it. My buddy who works for a Husqvarna dealer has been trying to talk me into buying the MZ5424,S while I like the looks of it better than the Hustler and it does come with the ZT3100 instead of the 2800, it has a stamped deck and doesn't feel as heavy duty as the Raptor SD.
So I thought I would stop by here and try to gather your valued opinions on other models I should be looking at. If I could just talk my father out of his Scag 72" Turf Tiger that he literally mows about 3/4 acre with, (He likes ridiculous toys) I would be all set.
