haha:laughing::laughing: I doubt it because a lot of people said that the Kawasaki engine was underpowered on the Metro 26, so if the Commercial 30 and Toro Tufmaster have the same engine, I wonder if it is going to lack power also. :confused2:

I wonder if these are worth the money? Getting to places my ZTR can't get to.

the dealer i use has a used one and has had it since last summer i took it home and tryed it out i didnt like it the mower was underpowered and it was heave and not very user friendly he sold it new in 2012 and got it back the same year cause of the same reasons i didnt like it i was very disappointed in this mower for a Exmark product oh yeah it was the Metro 26 and ther every expensive to buy new he wants half the price for this one at 850 but i took it back and told him its not for me but good luck

I will have to agree with Scott on this one. The Metro 26 was heavy and hard to turn, and also underpowered. I wish it had front caster tires to make it easier to turn. I might demo the Exmark Commercial 30 this spring/summer. Unfortunately it has the same engine, but it is supposed to be more compact. :thumbsup: It wasn't a horrible mower, but it wasn't my favorite!


The Commercial 21 might be better than the Metro 26.

yeah if it had caster wheels on the front i might think about it i even thought about putting another engine on it a biger one but then thought why waste that much money and then have to repower it and add more weight to it

Yeah good point. It's already expensive the way it is!

Yes, you should not have to go to all that trouble for the money you paid. I guess exmark are better at the larger mowers, more HP and good all around structure. I've heard from other users that they are very heavy and difficult to manouver.

If that's all you are using them for is getting into places your Ztr can't go then I'd say NO there not worth the money. I use the Cub Cadets the 98H and the 999ES with the castor wheels in the front.
