I bought a Craftsman T1800 42" riding mower. I own 30 acres with 15 acres of trees. I now 15 acres every 2 weeks in the growing season unless it has rained or wet. I change the oil every month regardless. I change the blades every 2 months. I put zert fitting in each of the 2 spindles and grease once a week. I filled the tires with water for more weight to mow slopes. It's still going strong. I paid $$1,800 8 yrs ago. You don't need a zero turn to do yards. All you need is experience mowing lawns and trimming skills. I been cutting my property for 60 years first with a tractor and Bush hog. I just got tired of making big passes and wasting gas. I also bought a second deck so I could cut close to my trees. To narrow for a tractor. Takes about 3 hours to mow and about an hour to trim around the house barn and trees. Buy what you can afford. Don't go into debt. $8,500 is a lot of money to spend and get your money's worth. Besides in business you have depreciation over a few years. So your not going to get that back right away. Borrow when you have to. No one makes money throwing it away.

Super easy to work on for regular maintenance and even heavier including electrical, not that I've had problems, just an observation. Best selling point. Only complaint is got Turf Saver tires instead of the Reapers. Easy upgrade. Will install ROPS just for the additional mounting points. Great mower for what I use it for.

I know you say prices can vary, but your pricing on the ZT Elite is incorrect before they vary, unless this is special pricing at your shop? It seems maybe you pulled pricing from the ZT Avenger.

No you don’t need something commercial for that. If you’re mowing a solid acre once per week, I would go with a good residential mower with a 54 or 60” cut.

Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower kzread.infoUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.

Probably has seal bearings on the spindles which is crap.

Bad boy is the only one I would consider, the others plates are garbage.

Lost me at kohler

I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. kzread.infoUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.

home owners only buy residential Stand-On mower only!

Seriously my mower is badder than yours so I must have a bigger winky!

Also, the mower blows grass, leaves, debris all out of ALL sides of the mower including in front which goes RIGHT into your face and eyes! It's absolutely awful. I was advised to slow the mower engine/speed and that will fix it and it did NOTHING! The bagger is the 1st time Gravely did their own and it's AWFUL. The bags are WAY too behind the mower so if you're driving along side of a structure or fence, you can't just turn away from the structure normally b/c the bags are so far behind the mower, turning normally, the bags crash up against the structure. Literally the only good thing about the Gravely ZT 42 is the Kawasaki engine. I'm selling this mower despite having it for ONE season!!!
