Zero Turn

[TDTennessee]

Looking for a 60" zero turn, and I can't decide. Every time I think I made my mind up I come across another option. Someone just tell me what I should get. I'm mowing about 5-7ish acres. Would like to be at or under 5k.

Used Scagg

I own a hustler limited. 52” cut with a 28 hp Kawasaki on the back. Absolutely love it. Stripes straight, it has a fab deck over a stamped deck and mows my 3 acres in 45 minutes. Cost me $3,200 last spring.

I have a 61 inch Scag. Took my 5 hours of mowing on a standard riding mower down to 1 hr 30 minutes. My 3rd season with it. Always starts. 3 blades. Lots of cutting power. Super comfortable seat. Dual gas tanks. Only issue was a safety switch repaired under warranty last week.

Ive looked at Scag online, but closet dealer is 45mins away, but I may head up there and check them out. I'm using my old 48" bad boy, so I really need to get something different.

Love my Gravely pro turn 460 commercial. But the 5K won't get it.

They make a variety of other mowers worth looking at.

That much acreage don't skimp and go with a residential but you can't go wrong with Grasshopper, XMark, Skagg, Ferris or Dixie (with the generac).

I like mowing, it's my peaceful time.

I like it too. I like trimming better. Throw on some noise canceling headphones and listen to some podcasts.

I'll second the Kawasaki powered Hustler.

Hate trimming but yeah, I listen to books while mowing.

No on the grasshopper. Pure trash


John Deere, kubota, ExMark or hustler.

Best bang for the buck... ExMark.

Maybe after I get through puberty?

My dad still running a diesel grasshopper he bought in the 90s. Quality might have slipped since then but that's been a hell of good mover.

When you get back hair

Does having enough to weave an Indian rug count?

I have a Walker. What do you think about them? Some are a little slow for large production work, but they are a quality product in my mind.

Put a couple tennis balls on the front legs, that should speed it up.

No, no.....not that kind of walker. LOL!

Great mowers. The bagging system on them has greatly improved over the years.

928?

The older models were indeed better units. The spindle assemblies were made of steel then

Now, pot metal. They shatter/ break or the bearings spin freely in the housings.

All the others I listed still use a steel housing. They can take a beating...

Mine is a side discharge model, but it looks like the others with the front mounted lift up deck and rear tail wheel.

Don’t know the model number it’s one with the front deck. It’s been a good mower for sure.
