Toro MX 4260 Vs. Toro SS4260

[nickpicker]

I'm in the Houston, Texas area with 1 1/2 acres of St. Augustine grass (plus some unwelcome weeds...)

I'm on flat, but somewhat bumpy ground.

I'm looking at buying a zero turn Toro mower, but which one?

As I'm a geezer with a budget, the SS4260 appeals more to my budget, but perhaps I should get the MX4260.

Opinions?

Thanks!

I'm also available for suggestions on other brands or models.

Thanks again!

I have the SS mysely and other than the stamped deck and arm rest deal I believe they are the same i personally bought online and saved a bundle also.

I choose the SS 4260 also.. Since the MX 4260 & the SS 4260 have hydros that are not servicable, I chose the lighter model..

Plus saved a bunch getting an end of the year sale from my local Dealer, so mine is a 2014 (100th year Anniversary) for Toro..

So I'm looking at starting a small landscaping business to get my two boys out of the house and away from the video games. I have a full time job but with one income (mom is a stay-at-home mother) money is a little tight. I can get a MX4260 with 500 hours for $1,000. Is the mower heavy duty enough to use in a limited commercial (5-8 yards a week) basis?
