Hi.
After much study, I purchased a SNAPPER 360Z 25/52”. I know these are the smaller residential models,
but the 52” model has minimum features for your $ budgets.... Four models available, but the largest is the 360Z 25/52”. A 25hp Briggs Professional with 10 gauge 52” fab deck. This is the only 360Z model with ZT2800s serviceable w/filters. Larger 20x10 wheels, EASY removable cargo bed (my wife thinks it’s cute). MSRP $3699
(The smaller Snapper 360Zs have the EZT sealed transmissions)
It’s Hard to find another strong mower w/ZT2800s at this price, usually $4000+. Maybe a Hustler Raptor SD.
ALL BRANDs zero turn mowers under $3700 will usually have HydroGear EZT (2000/2200 sealed non-serviceable transmissions). Some mowers I found above $3700 even have the EZTS! You have to check carefully. Transmissions will dictate the long life of your mower.
Basically don’t buy any brand zero turn without a serviceable transmission. A Major Price factor.
(ZT2800 and up ...... $$ ZT3100, ZT3400, ZT4400, ZT5400)
OR.
FYI. BRUNO POWER SPORTS
$4350 shipped, no taxes. I don’t know if you considered out of state supplier. Looks to have a good reputation in the reviews, though.
2018 FERRIS 5901705 model 400S, Kawasaki, ZT2800s
