After reading this forum the past few nights I decided to become a member and access the wealth of
knowledge that I see being shared here. As the title suggests,, I am looking into buying my first zero turn
and have somewhat narrowed my choices down to a few manufacturers based on being a reasonable distance
from where I live and not being a box store. My local brands include:
Ferris, Toro, Exmark and Harqvarna (sorry Deere John, but you've left me wrenching more then mowing)
I would categorize my mowing machine requirement to fall into the middle weight category.
3 acres / 98% flat n rolling / 2% pitched along a ditch / one corner wet in the spring and after heavy rains.
Many obstacles to maneuver around like trees, garden beds, trees, out buildings and more trees.
I favor a machine that has a fabricated 48 - 54 inch deck, 2800-3100 transmission, Kawasaki Engine but wouldn't
shy away from other brands that have a solid reputation. When it comes to budget I'm at a slightly flexible $4,000
and just like most post I've read on here, I'd prefer to be south of that number than north. But some of the quality
features I've listing will make that a challenge.
With all that said, what proven models do each of these manufactures have that fit the bill?
