Need a little input
Since everyone I know in the world cuts grass, I'd like ya'lls input on the a top of the line zero turn mower. We have several good mowers now, but in the market for a new larger one. I have quite a few acres to deal with.
Been looking at several John Deere ZTs, and half a dozen others. The Ariens 52" Ikon X, 23hp, Kawasaki has caught my eye. Has anyone heard good or bad on this one???
Let's hear it, Lawn mower guys.

Re: Need a little input
With Christmas coming just buy your wife a good push mower, not self propelled, and let her work off the extra pounds while enjoying the fresh air. More fishing time for you too.

Re: Need a little input
I have a 60" Ferris & love it. I mow about 2.6 acres & it takes between 1 1/2 & 1 3/4 hrs to do.
They decks are welded & not pre-formed like a lot of mowers, some Deere & Cub Cadets to name a couple.

Re: Need a little input
I have nothing to base this on personally, but EXMARK mowers are big up in VA with landscapers. May be worth looking at???

Re: Need a little input
I have a Gravely dad has Scag. We both like the Gravely best. They changed the Gravely HD they said. The Scag is a 60 inch and I think that may be the problem with it.
Re: Need a little input
I have two XMarks one is 16 years old the other 12. I have never mowed on a scag but they are popular here. The big machine mowS 3.5 acres a week. It would be hard for me to switch.

I have a Toro Z Master Commercial 60 inch cut that has been very reliable. I've had it probably 10 years. Does a great job.

I have a cub zero cut with the steering wheel and love it. I did not think I would like it but I love it
