Hi Folks,
I have to make a choice... this afternoon. I hate making decisions!
I have about 3.5-4 acres to mow, with trees, some berms, swales, fence, pond, etc. I really like CC models with the steering wheel. I have the following two options (I am sure there are others, but these seem to be the best deals):
1. CC Z-Force S 48 Commercial - used, 15 hours, 2011 model, mulch kit, $4250 all in
2. CC Z-Force S 54 - new, 2011 model, $4200 with taxes
My questions would be:
1. Is the commercial model upgrade much better than the non-commercial model? Is the seat more luxurious (land is quite bumpy), and are the materials that much better?
2. Will I regret going with the 48" over the 54" because of length of time to mow (although I can't see a 54" taking that much time off of my mowing compared to a 48")
3. Will I regret going with the 48" because of not being able to trim as close to things (fence posts, trees, garden, the pond, the barn, etc.?
Any advice would be appreciated. I am going from a 46" lawn tractor, but I also added the pond, barn, berms, trees, and 3 acres of mowing! Spending this kind of money I don't want to buy the wrong size and regret it after this season.
Thanks!
