Need new mower
Need new mower
Well.. my riding mower died last year and the grass is gonna start growing soon. So, I'm looking for a new mower.
Thinking of a zero turn... No larger than a 52" deck.... Been looking at Gravely's, Toro's, and Cub Cadets... Anyone have something that they really like? My yard is about 2 acres and I mow about 5 acres out at my 40.. Summer is coming!!!!

Re: Need new mower
our oldest son mows about 20 acres .... prior to buying a mower he did a great deal of research .... he settled on a Grasshopper brand mower ===> https://www.grasshoppermower.com/ .... with it he can mow his acreage if a fraction of the time it takes with our John Deere 4300 with its 5' mower deck .... I use a Cub Cadet tractor style to cut our 2+ acres .... its a dependable mower that works for me but its nowhere near the class of a Grasshopper

Re: Need new mower
My yard does not justify any more than a push. Wish I had as much land to take care of, so I am in no position to make a recommendation. Just get the one that gets it done the fastest...more time to shoot then.Greyhawk wrote:Well.. my riding mower died last year and the grass is gonna start growing soon.

John Deere 355D with 48" deck. Will take larger deck, but 48" is the one I have.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

That's right. And the 'D' means diesel. Who else has a riding diesel lawn tractor? Diesel up on Monday and ride all week!

Re: Need new mower
Thanks for the input everyone.. My dad is a big Deere fan.. In fact he had a Ford 8N that he painted green and yellow and put Deere decals on!markiver54 wrote:Whatever you end up with, get one of those pretty Henry leather scabbards to mount on the side.JK..
I think I am leaning toward a cub cadet Ultima ZT2. I like the grasshopper but its a little out of my price range. Plus, I want to buy from a dealer who services them, and there is a Cub Cadet dealer close by.
The scabbards are a must though!!!
