Hello everyone and thanks for allowing me to join. I am your typical homeowner, retired military with no time on my hands. I have never owned a zero turn but have decided that will be my next mower. Soon I hope. Currently have a John Deere rider I bought in 2009 and have never been satisfied with the cut, always cuts uneven. Before you recommend things to do I feel I have already did them. Tires are perfect (digital gauge), deck is not warped, new spindles, new blades, leveled numerous time and numerous ways. Anyway, am tired of messing with it and will give it to my son who is not as particular with his yard. Now to my question. I don't want to spend the money for a commercial mower and don't need it anyway. Like getting an 18 wheeler to haul my golf cart around. I will probably go with a 42-46 inch cut and have been looking at Toro, Husqvarna, Troy-bilt, and John Deere. What are your recommendations, all are in the right price range and have heard the good and bad on all of them. Thanks
