Next mower

[Lawnboy18]

I am now at my end of season and I am already thinking about either getting a 32" ZTR for a good price or a wider walk behind. I've been also looking at stand ons but I am not a fan of those. If I buy a ZTR, I will probably use it 4 times a week if I am lucky, because my lawns are not that big or have a gate wich doesn't allow a lot of room for big machinery.

I have these models in mind:

Toro | TimeCutter ZS3200 - Tondeuse à rayon de braquage nul
Ariens | Ariens Zoom® 34 | Home Depot Canada

http://www.toro.com/fr-ca/professio.../turfmaster-30-walk-behind/pages/default.aspx
Bravo 25 Commercial Mower 25-101

The big issue is storage space. I am out of room here with my 7 mowers and all the rest of my equipment.

Will the 32, or 34 get through the gates where you mow?

If the yards aren't that big, would a ztr in the sizes your looking at really save you that much time over say a toro turfmaster? A turfmaster might get the job done just as quickly or close to it and cost you less money off the bat.

I've measured the gate size and I have about 40 inches of space. My 30" snowblower can go trough no problem. I want a ZTR to save time and also be able to do big yards if ever I get that type of contract or do commercial lawns. What do you guys think? I could take pictures of the yards.

Sorry...I don't read French:0)
But that Ariens Zoom 34 is a very good Residential ZTR(I have a next-door-neighbor that has had one for 15+ years and his lawn looks like a golf course:0)
WHATEVER you do...do NOT consider that "Beast" brand mower on that Home Depot webpage you provided!!! They are junk with a captial J!!!!!

Most gates you can just get a 42 threw. If you get a walkbehind you can get a 46 threw it

(( cowboy up and get over it ))

I hear that!!! I had a 54" lawn tractor that fit in my workshop just fine.....my 52" ZTR "barely fits". ALWAYS measure the machine's width before buying it!!!!

Thabks for the input guys! What do you meanby the beast crap at home depot? They sell the Ariens there along with the Toro SS3200. Are they a knock off at home depot?

The toro ss3200 is the exact same mower at Home Depot as it is at the dealer.
Built at the same place by the same people at the same time.

A good dealer ( hard to find ) will match the lowest price and set the mower up and test it and show you how to use it.

Now someone is going to say buy from the dealer because he will do the repairs.

News flash he will do them anyways
