I currently mow 5 acres with an Ariens Zoom 52 inch. I have recently picked up an extra 2.5 acres from the grandfather of my wife who lives next to us and is turning 80 this year. I am looking to upgrade to a larger and faster mower. The two mowers I am looking at are a John Deere 915B and the Bad Boy CZT Elite, both are 60 inch mowers. The John Deere is a 2013 model and has 180 hours on it with the 24 HP Kohler engine. The price listed on it is $5800.00. The Bad Boy is a new mower. It has 726 cc Kawasaki engine and the listed price is also $5800.00. I have read everything I could find on the internet about the two mowers. I was wondering if there are any current owners of these two mowers that could give me an opinion.
Thank You
