Best zero turn mower for under $5000

IMO, this thread has the best possible advice..
Also, Craftsman is no longer in the running due to the deceptive manner in which Sears markets them..We have had a very bad experience with Sears, not a nice place to do business with.
If possible, buy a good used Simplicy, but I think this will be difficult.
Remember the true Beetle Volkswagens from the 60s ?
The used ones were going for 90 to 110% of "retail"..
And then there are the Chinese mowers, these I do not know about.

Take a look at the husky MZ6128 ZT at 4995.00. I have this machine and its a beast of a mower . It has the hydro gear 3400 drives and a 1/4 inch deck , w/ greasable spindles and front castors. its fast 10 mph . I would buy this again . theres nothing that compairs to it for the price , check it out.

I forgot to add that it dont have a choke to pull . it has electronic automatic choke , sort of like fuel injection . just crank it up and go . it works really well .
I just got the mulch kit for it a couple of weeks ago to mulch leaves (i have a swimming pool so dealing with leaves is a must) the mulch kit is a bit pricey at 200.00 but it is awesome , looks like you vaccumed .

Tindal, so an electronic choke is sort of like fuel injection, I beg of you to tell us more-is it like a fuel solinoid being kinda/sorta the same thing as that old metal bar that one had to press against the engine block to stop the engine?

Robert , you just like to argue and your igonorance is showing! I didnt say it was fuel injection , I was only making a point that you can crank it up and go , like you do with a fuel injection car . I and every body here got this but you , next time I will explaine it a little better just for you. Robert do you do anything but read what somebody else has learned? they will never teach you every thing they know .There is somethings that you will never understand by reading about it , like looking over the grand canyon . True learning is when you make discoverys on your own , You should really try that sometimes , It is exciting . By the way , I have 3 GTS now and a ZT and have never taken one to a shop , I have always fixed them myself, from maintence to engine rebuilding.

Just ask Robert , He read it and will tell you where he read it , so it must be true!
