Post your thoughts here about what you think of each.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

In the future, this thread can be referred to for aspects of buying one or the other.

This thread is meant to be a positive addition to the site, so as not to clutter up or bash on a poster when they seek information about a specific type.

Thank You, and Have a Nice Day. :smile:

Hello Sammy the Red..
This would have been a good thread some time back.
The problem... there is a single individual that will drone ON & ON with the sole purpose of being argumentative.
I will not participate in his "method' of posting, it serves only to alienate members...

I have through, the years used push mowers, LTs, GTs and ZTs... It has been a great progression of mowers... from the way we did things in the 50's to present years... Incredible advances in mower technologies over the decades...
I will enjoy following some of the responses you get to this post. :smile:KennyV

your right kenny on the advances of mowers . yesterday i was looking online at zt's and such and found a convertable mower,almost like a transformer.you can ride it like a zt or switch it and walk it for places you can't ride through.awesome:thumbsup: now this mower may have been around awhile but it's the first i seen it. but then i'm not in that market yet.

That sounds interesting... Was it also a stand on... I think I have seen walk behind stand on combination...
What make, do you recall...?
It could be a good cross over conversion type, to fit within Sammy the Red's thread here... :smile:KennyV

Sounds like your mower mite be a Toro Grandstand, It has a retractable platform for stand-on or walk-behind positions
