    Another vote here for Scag! I have a Liberty Z and love it. Have had it for almost 5 years and still going strong!

      By once, cry once.

      You don’t see any lawn crews running Hustlers and Gravely......

      I work for one of the largest landscape companies in the country. And here in Houston, we run several Hustlers among just about every brand at one time or another. The Hustler seems to be the one that lasts the longest and our hands can’t or haven’t yet destroyed.

        Unless your lawn is as smooth as concrete, you will not find a better ride than a ferris! My is2100z has a Briggs Vanguard on it and it has no struggles.

          alot depends what your mowing and how much you want to pay.
          All the mowers mentioned above are good quality, I've had a hustler 42" and only problems I've had were self afflicted abuse. I only mow 3/4 acre around the house and its been ok for 7 years. At the time I paid 2800 for the mower.
          My neighbor bought a 54" club cadet for about the same price and had it about the same amount of time with no issues. So if it did trash, maybe I could go buy anther new one for another 2800 versus spending the 5000+ upfront for a nicer mower ?

                  Zero turn mowers

                  Whatever dealer is close by and has a good service team. Hustler, Scag, ExMark, Grasshopper etc... all good mowers but a good dealer is harder to come by.

                  Also checkout shaft driven vs belt driven. Really on makes a difference when mowing really thick stuff but something to consider.

                      I got a Hustler Raptor SDX 60" with kawasaki, have about 80 hours on it, no issues whatsoever, added lights to it, might add the Flex Forks on the front to smooth it out a bit. The upgraded seat is well worth it.

                      Use it at home and knock out about 2 acres in about 2 hours.

                          Anything with a Kawasaki engine and a fabricated deck and you will be good. While I am a scag fanboy and run a V-ride 48. I’d go with whatever dealer is closer and offers better service after the sale. Ease of maintenance is also something to look at as well.

                            41 replies with recommendations and not one person asked how big his yard is or its terrain. Where I'm from, you match the tool to the job.

                            I've been mowing my 1/2- acre yard with a few elevation changes with a Hustler Raptor SD for 4 seasons. Yard is a mix of bermuda and weeds. The mower performs very well and no major repairs needed. Just keep it full of oil and gas. The only bad thing I can say is the underside of the deck collects grass big-time. I have read this is a problem for all of the Hustler models. I repainted the deck last year which helped but I just keep a pair of car ramps handy and drive the mower onto them after mowing. Grab the scraper and hose and go to work cleaning for 15 minutes.

                              I have been looking at mowers over the last year for a replacement of a cub cadet I bought in 2009 with a Kawasaki engine. At the time I wasn’t familiar with zero turns and I wouldn’t have bought the cub cadet. It was a decent price and my present home site was just a weekend home at the time. Yard was 5 acres. It has been have pulley and belt problems the last coupe of summers but hey it’s last 12 summers. Also the dealer I bought it at takes a couple of weeks to get it back they are slow.
                              1. From reading on tbh on zturns for the money and quality the Hustler seems to come out on top imo.
                              2. If you will be taking it to be serviced by from a local dealer familiar with your product.

                                We looked for a year at them and settled on a Gravely. We mow about an acre an 1/2. Couple guys on FD bought them and mow more than we do as well as the cemetery out front of the station.
