Wow, 2013 is right around the corner and mower manufacturers have gotten a head start on their upcoming mower lines. Do you have any makes or models you're looking forward to in the new year? Why? Would you trade your current mower for a shiny new one for the next season---perhaps a different type (ZTR, push, ride-on, gas, diesel, electric, or battery operated)?

Here are a few new models that have been announced so far:

• 2013 Exmark Vantage X-Series Stand-On Rider
• The "Kubota Kommander ZG100-Series (Kubota's First Residential Zero Turn Mower)
• Exmark's New Rear Discharge Deck Option for Lazer Z DS-Series
• Husqvarna R 120S Articulating Riding Mower
• Efco's Two New Trimmer Series: DS 2200 & DS 2400
• The Briggs & Stratton 2013 Simplicity Tractors
• Bush Hog RS2650 Residential Zero Turn
• Stihl's New RMA 370 Lithium-Ion Battery Powered Mower
• Exmark's New Commercial 30 Walk Behind
• Honda's New HRX and HRR Series
• The New Toro TurfMaster 30 Commercial Walk-Behind Mower
• Ferris Announces Two New Zero-Turn Mowers: the IS 600Z and IS 700
• Husqvarna HU800AWD All-Wheel Drive Walk Behind Mower

From the link above I would like to see the new Exmark Commercial 30 walk-behind. But I wish it had front caster tires like on ZTR's, because it is really heavy to have front tires like 21 in. mowers. Exmarkç—´ New Commercial Walk Behind - TractorByNet.com

I am also interested in seeing the new Toro Turfmaster, though it is really expensive (the Exmark probably is, also), and I wish it had the front caster tires. Toroç—´ New 30-Inch Commercial Mower - TractorByNet.com

I am also interested in the new Honda HRR's with the Clip Director. The electric start on the new models doesn't interest me, but the Clip Director does!

Yeah I was looking at the Articulating Rider on their website over the summer...it looks cool! I wonder what they will change in 2013. Riding Lawn Mowers - Mower and accessories, reviews, buying guide and comparison charts Husqvarna

I just read an article saying John Deere will be selling stand-on mowers made by Wright Manufacturing. Wright's products are good, so maybe the new John Deere standers will be the same quality?

Well if there are Toro dealers in your area.....just look at them because the Turfmaster is essentially the same as the Commercial 30...even the price.

Oh right I didn't know that!! Yes we have several toro dealers. I'm already running a toro hi vac 26 inch, cracking mower!
