I bought one and returned it the same day.
Then i got in my truck and went to our local dealer Stop Equipment and bought the ZT Elite!
The MZ just doesn't have enough power for me on my 3.5 acres.
Hell even my old troybilt ZTR had a 7000 kohler.
MZ at TS only had the 541 cc kohler single cylinder - I just felt like that would be too much work for a single. You can get the MZ in series 7000 kohler (746 cc)
and won't cost you any more at the dealer, plus better service.
With me stepping up to the ZT , I had to go with a 48" deck instead of the 42 I was looking for (to get between some trees and fence)
But I got so much more for the ZT - Way better seat, bigger engine (twin cyl), auto lift for the deck, bigger tires - both front and rear! And of course bigger transaxles.
Good luck!
just depends on what you want.
