Looking to trade my 2025 60" ZT Elite/Maverick Deck for a 48/54" Deck

[badboy4life]

Hi guys,

I have a 2025 model (end of 2025) ZT elite with a lawn mower deck that has 1 mow worth of use on it. The 60" is just too much for the yard, as I scalp when I am mowing on my birms around the perimeter. Looking to downsize and wondering if anyone out there might be looking to upsize.

At a minimum it seems like anything 2023-2026 would work.

I live in Arizona specifically. I know nothing about cost to ship this kind of stuff if you live further away, so we would have to do some research!

Use your foot pedal to raise deck slightly as you are mowing. Much easier than trying to rig a smaller deck, shipping, trading, buying, selling, another deck.

My lot is only 20,000 sqft of mowing . I’d have other benefits of a narrower rig too in terms of getting around and behind some of our citrus trees too. I priced it out, was about $1,100 to just buy a new deck for the 48” if I kept all the parts that carry over.

I got the mower near new for $2500, so I can throw some money at it and still be ahead

1/2 acre lot is what you have. You can buy 3 brand new self propelled mowers, get some exercise, and mow for decades on what you will spend on that deck.

How to do to downsize and wondering?

You should have bought a 36" mower.

Cheapest solution would be to sell the 60” and use the funds to buy something smaller.

Or learn to use the foot pedal to lift the deck momentarily.
