large farm / nursery here. wanting 60 inch plus mower that will hold up to some rough terrain and mowing non manicured areas. of course something that fits my body..making up for short with girth.....
as such scags did not fit not did a lot of others... so far liking the kubota 725 and 726 series and the ferris 61 and 72 inch z3200.
would like other suggestions and most importantly reviews of life and durability of the kohler command engines - the kawasaki efi seems to be on a lot - the briggs vanguard?
noting some decks the spindles have grease fittings. to me grease fittings are a good idea. current woods mower ( same decks as gravely and ariens ) was supposed to be commercial mower ( lying salesman bites rocks )
needs all three spindles replaced several times in a season. kohler engine needed replaced at 169 hours due to bad crankshaft ( not warrantied since my 2 years was up ) (( I usually get the lemon on anything it seems.... ))
talk to me folks as I want to buy one and only one more permanent mower.
one salesman said bob cat makes kubota - just a different paint job?? snapper and ferris are connected?? some companies do make things in different grades for others under their total corp. ie black and decker at least or a while had el cheapo big box and contractor grades. nowadays everything seems labeled contractor grade - commercial grade - heavy duty - etc... just labels not indicative of actual quality
