Anybody have a zero turn?


We just purchased a house. About 0.75 acres. Our old yard was like 0.20 acres and that took me about 35 minutes or so to push mow.


Not looking to spend 90 minutes push mowing the new place. Figure a zero turn I can get this done in about 15-20 minutes.


Thoughts on buying new vs used?

For that size it’s a simple workload….I’d be very tempted to buy used

Bought one two years ago.  I love it.  We have 0.2 acres also.  But ZTR much more comfortable, cut looks much better.  Should last me until I die.

Depends on how "easy" your lot is, and how big  You leaning toward a pro model, or one just for home use?   42" seems to be most common.  Saw an EV model last year for 4K, not sure if it gives you the same power and cut.

If you buy used, get it from a reputable dealer, should give you some good years.

Yeah. We're just under an acre (.94) and it takes about 15-20 min to cut. I went with a residential Ferris b/c of the spring suspension. You can cut at full speed and not get beat up.
