There is one dealer that sells both of those near me. I called last week and believe they said they only had commercial mowers in stock, but I will give them a call tomorrow.

I appreciate the info. I am not against waiting until next year, but the dealers near me have been extremely blunt that I could face the same issue with inventory next year. Supposedly they all ordered mowers in early 2021 and almost all of them were pushed to 2023. It also doesn't help that all...

That's what's kind of getting me at this point. There isn't much grass right now as it's mostly weeds, so cutting it every two weeks has been fine. With the weeds, I'm looking at around $800 for the season and a $500 fall cleanup. I planned on doing a lawn reno in the fall (which is one reason I...

So to make a long story short, the deck has a rattle at idle, but not with the blades engaged. Dealer says it's normal and they're all like that (which appears to be false, though I'm sure he's trying to make a sale). On one hand, I don't think I should be paying north of 6k for a mower that has...

Thanks for the info. A walk-behind is just not an option for me. It would take way too long and my yard can actually take advantage of a larger deck, though I admit that the ZT HD is completely overkill. Truthfully, if I could get my hands on a 42" or 52" Ariens Ikon XD, it's probably "best" for...

Great input, thanks! The yard doesn't have any major obstacles and I am entirely limited by the current inventory. There was one Ariens Ikon XD 42" that was perfect, but sold. Other than going with a big box store unit (which I am still considering), there aren't any 42" mowers in stock where I...

I can definitely do it for the 52", but the 48" is about two hours away and would be handled over the phone (drove it already but didn't engage the blades). I have read about the deck vibration though, so definitely something that I can look into. Thanks for the input!

Well, here's the long and short of it: Gravely ZT XL 48 vs. ZT HD 52 - the ZT HD 52 out the door, delivered, tax included is exactly $900 more than the ZT XL 48. I am leaning towards spending the extra money for it, but before I do, figured I should ask here. Thoughts? Thanks again!

I appreciate everyone's input! After searching about 2-3 hours away from me, I was able to locate a Gravely ZT X, ZT XL, and ZT HD. Leaning towards the ZT XL, but I'm waiting to hear back from the ZT HD dealer. The ZT HD is certainly overkill, but the ZT XL dealer is tacking on a ton of random...

Hi everyone, New home owner and I'm having an impossible time finding a ZT mower in my area, and the few options available from dealers are all prosumer/commercial grade (Gravely/Scag higher end: 6-9k). The used inventory near me is incredibly minimal, and the "best" option right now is Home...
