I recently had the engine blow a piston on my 2012 Toro Titan TimeCutter ZX 5020 and am looking at replacing the mower. I wasn't happy with the Toro and have narrowed my choices to the Scag Patriot and the Kubota 421. The same dealer is located nearby and sells both. My property is about 3 acres in Upstate New York of wild grasses, turf, under tree grasses. The Toro always seemed underpowered I'm often mowing in wet conditions once-a-week. There is also a small orchard that we mow when grass is 8".
The prices I've been quoted are $6,099 for the Scag & $6,650 for the Kubota.
Specs:
Scag: 52" deck, 22hp kawasaki kx engiine; 22" tires; 8.5 mph, 3 yr warranty
Kubota: 54" deck, 24hp kawasaki ks engine; 24" tires; 10 mph, 4 yr warranty
