Raptor SD 48 or exmark Quest s 42

[bwc3030]

Hi..newbie here. New home with recently layed sod. Hybrid bermuda. Lot is appx 3/4 acre. Mostly flat, some small hills.
Trying to decide which mower
exmark 42' quest s series or hustler rapor sd 48".
looking for best cut for type of grass. Raptor has more features, better drivetrain, hanging deck, bigger tires. However it cost $200 more. Both seem really good. Is the raptor over kill for what I need? What say you on which to buy? Thanks for any input.

The Raptor SD is lots of mower for the job, the non SD can handle it...but the SD is a great rig. Very nice ride, simple and solid layout. Just a very nice mower, I highly recommend it. $200 is well worth it to step to it.

Either one would suit your needs. There both good mowers. Personally I would get the hustled SD.

thanks for you input. I am leaning toward the Hustler at this time.
