Love the bucking bronco mower. It will go right along with how i run barrels when cutting grass around trees. Like that red car

[marccherfils]

Thanks this was very helpful. This will be my next biggest purchase.

I have a badboy mower and I love it! I had a old craftsman and it has cut my mowing time in half! And no problems so far.

[ScottyLo]

Bought a J D L 100 ..19 years ago had to replace spindles because they didn't put grease fittings .Great mower.

Purchased a Kubota z327
commercial mower in 2013. Wanted more mower than I needed for durability
.Every part on the mower is made by Kubota, which I like.

I cut lakeside professionally in Georgia with a Exmark and it was a beast and great. Durable.

[adgieem]

Great video. I wish you were closer to Pittsburgh. I would do business with your store in a heart beat !! I bought a JD zero two years ago. Now wishing I had waited cause I want a battery powered ZT. I look fwd to your reviews on the battery powered units.

That guy in the video bucking that mower is from my hometown. He's a hoot!!! Bebo for the win!!!

[Krispy]

I would look at Exmark and Ariens - I have had both and both are excellent for 2 to 5 acres - get the entry level commercial zero turn - but beware that these are pretty heavy and if you have a real damp yard these could give you ruts - but as far as quality, reliability, and long life with a good cut - man I don't think you can beat either one!

I used to do lawncare professionally for many years. I have used them all. Zero turn walk behinds. Riders, stand on. From most of the big companies. ( great dane, scagg, bunton, toro etc.) And i will say that out of all the mowers i used the great dane zero turn surfer. Was the best. It was a stand on mower. It was one if not the first stand on. Now everyone has them. There was no stopping it. It would go up steep hills no problem. You could go side ways on hills so steep you could hardly stand on them. It was fast did a great job. But they quit makong them. I talked to the owner of the company i worked for and he said he now used toro grandstands. That is toros version of the stand on mower. He said it is about as good as the great dane was. Zero turns are the way to go. I bought a Husqvarna riding mower for the wife ( thinking she was going to be the one to mow the yard) i ended up mowing it most of the time. So that rider got sold asap. And i got a toro time cutter. I can do the yard in almost half the time.as the rider. And it looks better.

Trust me on the bumpy yard issue. If your mower does not have something that elevates, reduces the effects of a bumpy lawn, take it from me it can do serious issues to your back.

Transmissions are the most important thing in buying a mower in my book

[patrickdezenzio]

When we moved from a garden home to a 7 acre ranch-style property with 5 mowable acres, I got a Kubota zg127s with a grass catcher for about $5700 9 years ago. It works fine but I wished I could have tried each model on the lot - like 200s, 400s, and 700s. I wouldn't have mind buying bigger if I needed it. That 127s did fine, but it had issues with steep hills and slopes. That model doesn't have brakes so the only way to slow down is reversing the handles, which to me seems like a bad idea. But any way what happens is I pick up speed downhill and eventually I lose traction and start veering off into whichever direction the mower feels like. My brother-in-law bought a new 781 last year and I borrowed it for 2 weeks and wow what a difference. No issues at all on hills and even though both mowers had the same 54 in deck width, I shaved off 2 hours from my normal 4.5 hour marathon. I ordered a new 726x last week and am just waiting on it. Can't wait to start mowing!

I won't buy a used mower like a used car. The issue is even though I took care of my mower, after 250 hours you have to baby it. It runs great, cuts great, but I know the in and outs to that mower and I know when something isn't right. The next guy didn't earn the hours and he may not treat it right and may not even know when something is off. I will sell the 127s for probably between $2k and $2.5k, but I may even keep it as a secondary mower.

Glad I found your channel. Great info. I have a Kubota 42 inch (fabricated deck) and Kawasaki engine. I have been impressed with how sturdy this one is. It's entry level for Kubota, but meets our needs and the dealer is only 4 miles away if any issues arise. Keep up the great info!

[bryazen]

Awesome video! TYFS. Interesting, although I already purchased a Zero Turn Lawn Mower in the Spring. An Ariens. Very happy w/it!!

[jameswatson]

Kabota 421 - 60in deck - Kawasaki FS 730 Engine. I have 3 acres to cut end it does a really good job.

[Rebel]

My lawn is fairly flat, maybe a dozen trees and 1.5 acres or so. I live in a fairly rural area but there's an Ariens dealer about a mile from me out in the middle of nowhere too. Been considering an Ariens Ikon in either the 42" or 48" cut. I currently have an old style lawn tractor I've had for 14 years now and it's up to 419 hours on its meter. It's a 20hp, 46" cut Poulan Pro PB20HY64T I bought new in 2010 from Western Auto. That store closed a few years ago, but the mower just keeps on going, but I do regular maintenance on the old girl. Should be able to squeeze another season or two out of her barring anything catostrophic like, say, the old hydro crapping out or the Intek's cam doing what they like to do. Not really interested in flying across the yard, but I do like the maneuverability of the zero turns around trees, bushes, mailbox, etc. that my old rider just can't match.

I have a toro but I really like the gravely.
