Hi,
I am new to this site and wanted to first say hi to everyone. I am looking for some help in deciding on a new zero turn under $3000. I currently mow my lawn and a neighbors but soon will be adding a 3rd (probably just under an acre total). All 3 lawns are very flat so no issue with a residential zero turn. I have a 10 year old cub cadet lt1050 rider and it isnt going to fit through the gate at the new neighbors lawn( good excuse to give the wife to buy a new one ). I would like a zero turn with a 42" fabricated deck and preferably a kawasaki engine. I have it narrowed down to 2 machines.
Hustler raptor 42 with 21.5 HP Kawasaki $2799
Gravely/ariens ikon x 42 with the 18HP Kawasaki $2899
I really like the deck setup on the ariens but i'm worried that it will be under powered with the 18 hp vs hustler 21.5
I am open to suggestions of other manufacturers as well. I grew up using my fathers scag turf tiger and really miss having a zero turn.
Thanks for any help you can provide
