I'm looking to replace an old Cub Cadet zero turn mower. Currently looking at the SCAG Patriot (approx. $6000 after $900 rebate) and Deere Z540M (approx. $5100), for the price is the SCAG that much better of a mower or are both about the same? Both have a Kawi engine, SCAG has the FX series and Deere the FS series, as a homeowner either should more than do the job. I'm planning on getting a bagger as well and I'd like to use a de-thatcher and aerator from time to time. Based on experience, which mower would people recommend? Any other mowers anyone would recommend considering?
Thanks for the help!
