Buying advice

[snakesrobinson]

New to this site and was hoping for some direction. I'm debating on buying a brand new Bobcat ZT2000, have also considered buying a used Scag Turf Tiger but trying to not go over $5K. Between the two any recommendations? Anything preowned I would have inspected thoroughly before buying. Thanks in advance!

Find a local Ariens/Gravely dealer and check out the Ariens Apex mowers. They should come in right around $5,000. They come with Hydro-Gear ZT3100 hydros. The Bobcat has ZT2800s.
