Here’s how I chose my newest mower. I scoured marketplace for two weeks low-balling clean low hour commercial mowers (I had tiers of models/brands I wanted most). Found someone who needed cash badly (skimmed through their Facebook page to do research) and closed the deal fast.

For 3 months drove myself crazy researching zero turn mowers for my one acre plot. I choose the Bobcat ZT2000 42". Kawasaki FR651v and ZT-2800 with remote reservoir was a big selling point (plus a heck of a deal from Bobcat). Very happy with the mower.

We mow around 5 acres with some steep inclines, and periodically, I clean up about 2 acres of pasture. I researched and tested around 6 different brands, focusing on durability. Ended up picking up a Gravely Pro 160 with 62" deck, ZT3400 transaxle, 26 HP EFI Kohler engine, suspension seat, cupholders (useless when bouncing around mowing tbh), and a charging port which I've never used. I have around 300 hours on it so far and will say the thing is a beast. It is made with thicker metal for the deck which I really wanted as half of our lawn drops large branches periodically and the soil surface is by no means smooth. I can put on a hitch and light bar, but also have a small 26 HP tractor with 3 point, backhoe, and front bucket so really no need to tow anything with the zero-turn or need to use it at night with the light. I highly recommend getting an engine with EFI, which I didn't hear mentioned in the vid. Also, while suspension systems for the wheels are nice, I've used two different brands with them and honestly couldn't really tell much of a difference, so to me, these are just added failure points. Last, solid front tires are definitely preferrable over air inflated. A bit rougher ride, but they'll last far longer.

I bought a ferris is600z back in 2019 new for $5600 it been pretty good and has suspension all the way around now ill have to look into the specs to see how good the rest of it is, I definitely like the looks of altoz 766 with it's tracks and brush hog capabilities

[ericsantelli]

So far so good. Only used it once, but...

You’re one of twelve bad boy mower dealers within 60 miles of me and my engine reps want to bring me brand new bad boy units that they think you amongst the over 11 cannot fix. This is too good. See you soon.

I got a cub cadet zt54 and I got it for 3500 and it has 25 hp 12 Gauge deck led lights and it's a beast I definitely recommend it

[makenchips]

Well done video overall as an intro but it also would have been nice do you have charted data to show the difference in the speeds in cost per acre in time per acre facts also and also between the deck sizes in each classification of the same timer cut cost to operate per acre.

Great job showing and telling, looking for a good deal. Never owned a zero turn, had a walk behind or a trailer you stand on it was to slow. So I am 66 years old and I think I should get a zero turn but wish one bad boy or what, will get to talk about it . I’ll be looking and talking with y’all soon get one ready for me. Text at you later see ya bye have a great great day bye now .

I just buy the gravely zt HD 60 inc deck whit the Kawasaki nice I don’t have any complaint

Bought my first zero turn earlier this year. I shopped around for a month or so. I was looking for a bigger machine we mow atleast 5 acres. I looked at Spartan, Gravely, Toro, Kioti and X mark. Spartan was on top of my list and Kioti second. Same dealer sold both. Took wife when it came time to buy and we both preferred the Kioti, it came with the suspension seat which also had a higher back for mor comfort. The suspension seat was an expensive upgrade. Kioti ZXC LT so far very happy with it. Something i consider when buying expensive toys is availability of service and parts. I dont see the point of buying brand "A" which may be better but the closest dealer is 50 miles away.

i got a 2003 dixie chopper with a kohler command pro 27 closing in on 8, 000 hrs

I managed to find a John Deere z355r and have put about 100 hours on it. It’s been a great mower so far but I am definitely ready for something faster

[mikezupancic]

I currently have a riding mower that is well aged. The property i mow isnt huge but i cant stand how my back feels after being on the rider for an hour. I recently sat in a BB Rebel and my goodness it was comfortable. My one worry is how much the Rebel weighs compared to a riding mower. A third of the property id be using it on is softer in the spring (my feet sink about a quarter to half inch into the grass as i walk checking for sticks) the riding mower does sink some as i cut through this area but does not get stuck. Im wondering if the Rebel would sink and get stuck in this type of soil or if the tire size would allow it to push through.

I bought a Husq 254F special edition 4 wks ago. I live on a 5.5 acre horse property with no horses, pastures were 2ft tall, not cut all summer. Took me 28 hours to cut the whole place, had to make 2 passes for the pastures. Whole place looks like a lawn. Mine has the 23 hp Kawasaki. Very powerful. Love that machine.

[brandonyoung]

No mention of the John Deere’s or Husqvarna’s, Cub Cadets? Do you not like them?
