New member looking to buy - Hustler or Gravely

[gaterzfan]

Hustler Raptor 36 or Gravely ZT 34 ... to mow approx 0.5 acre, less house footprint, of St Augustine. Prices b4 tax, are $2800 and $2300, respectively. Any recs or advice would be appreciated.

Also, Gravely dealer said I may want to wait as Gravely is releasing a new model ZT 34 in 2015. Does anyone have any info on what Gravely is doing?

Thanks in advance.

I suggest you read reviews on models you choose and after you narrow it down go try them out, operating all controls. Also check out dealers for their service reputation, quality of work.
