ZTR recommendations

[djdicetn]

Looks good. Wish I had a garage. I live in a 45 year old house that has a car port. Thanks for showing it to me though.




That is what I was thinking. I have never used my current LT to pull anything and living in SC, won't ever need a snow plow.

One last recommendation(and these are a little pricey as well...but come with a small deck size-the R 120S @ $2999 has a 42"). They are referred to as a "articulating rider" and have a very unique design and are reported to deliver a VERY professional cut. Check out the link below:

What about like a 36" hydro walk behind.

I saw those. I like the way you can flip the deck up for washing it. I think CountryClipper has decks like that too. I've never owned a Husqvarna product. I've heard some good and bad things about them. I'm assuming the bad comes from their line from the big box stores.

Anyone had issues with Husky products?

While I agree with most of what was stated above regarding differences between gt and ztr's, I would not consider trading the manerverability (sp) of a ztr for a cheaper lt/gt. and in the smaller deck sizes of ztr, I bet the weight diff is not that much. that being said on purely a cost basis, the lt are much cheaper. I will never go back. As an example when I bought my 33 " deck snapper, I mowed my house, my parents , my mom-inlaws all in a 4 hour period(including travel) using ramps(2 8 foot 2x10's ) . No way to have done that with a traditional lt.

I'm with you on the "never going back". I just purchased my first ZTR two months ago after 40 years of lawn & garden tractors. Despite the learning curve (remember, I'm an old fart:laughing, there is no comparison. The best way to describe it is before I "had" to mow the lawn, now I "want" to mow the lawn.

did I hear country clipper mentioned ?? :thumbsup: Yep i love my flip up deck!! which by the way is 38 inches... they quit making it now the smallest is 42 inches I think. Bought mine off craigslist for only $2300 with only 27 hours. By the way some Country Clipper dealers still have some 2 year old stock so they may have a 38 inch deck like mine in stock they will make you a deal on ... they offered me one off the showroom floor for $3k before I found mine on CL. If they do have any that old... They make make you a better deal. Mine has worked great.

Found my next mower. It's even faster than a ZTR.

You having any luck finding something to fit your needs??? My last lawn tractor was a 2006 Craftsman YS4500 with a 54" deck and a 24hp Briggs & Stratton Intek. It was made by Husqvarna for Sears and aside from the B & S Intek not being a very good engine, the lawn tract itself was awesome!! Several users here have Husqvarna(lawn tractors & ZTR's) and have onlly good things to say about them. Personally, I recommend Husqvarna lawn tractors as the best bang-for-your-buck if someone is shopping lawn tractors. Also, note that the Dixons are now made by Husqvarna, are pretty decent machines but again the smalles deck size is 42". Let us know how your search is going!!!
