Hi all,
I'm trying to decide between the following mowers for about an acre of uneven grass with a large amount of trees and some big dips and ditches. All decks are at 42" because of some gates on the property. Have had nothing but problems with the Poulan tractor we currently own due to the terrain (deck keeps getting misadjusted, belt comes off, etc.). The deck also gets stepped on due to a family member with a disability driving it, which makes a strong deck a priority for the new mower.
Kubota Kommander z122rkw $5400 with 0% 5 years
- Appears the heaviest duty but also the most expensive. I also hear that they have fairly short lifespans? Four year warranty
Big Dog Alpha $4520 no financing
- A grand less than the Kubota and seemed appropriately less heavey duty but still solid. No financing though. Longest (7 year) warranty
Hustler Raptor $4316 0% 2 years
- None in stock so I couldn't look at them but I understand they and Big Dog are the same mowers? 3 year warranty
John Deere Z335E $3616 with 0% for 12 months
- Appears the least durable and stamped deck makes me worry that it won't withstand my yard/family member. Two grand less than Kubota. 2 year warranty.
Could I get some recommendations/opinions on these?
Thanks!
