So I used this site a ton when doing research on buying my first zero turn mower so I thought I would ask you guys if I made a wise decision.
First off I will be mowing just a little above 1 acre. I have some small slopes to deal with around my detention pond on the property but other than that it is relatively flat. Some background on me: I'm not a fan of cutting grass. I want to make quick work of the deal and be on to other things. I have a 2 yr old daughter and would rather spend the time with her than sitting on a mower. Speed and a nice cut were of the essence. I was trying to stay between 4-5K as well.
After reading tons on just about every manufacturer out there, I pulled the trigger on a dealer that was exceptionally great to deal with (very important to me) and seemed to try and give me the best deal possible. I put a down payment on a LEFTOVER Husqvarna MZ5225. It has the Kohler 25 HP Courage (read some nasty comments but most were towards the singles, couldn't find too much negativity with the twins). It also has the ZT3400 hydros and 22x12.50 tires on the rear for a smoother ride. 52" fabbed deck with easy access to everything for maintenance.
I got it for 4500 out the door. Did I get a deal or is this about the going price for a unit like this? Either way, I think I will be happy as all get out with it.
