a022mil,,,,,,, Thanks for the info. I keep forgetting about Vet discounts anywhere. I think I saw the Toro model.
Not sure who makes the engine though. Some outfit in China is making the Twin-Vs for Exmark & a few others.
Only trouble I have had. Was when I stopped on toro model 4225, for a short period, it would leave a burnt spot on my grass, would notice it the next day, I cut at 4 inches, seem’s longer grass help’s squeeze out the weed’s, live here in northern Ohio. My dealer has been more than helpful, more helpful than toro. He added a section to my muffler that help’s to deflect the heat from muffler, but I think all hydrostatic transmissions generate a lot of heat, the zero turns are lower than the riding mower’s, easier to operate, but harder to work with if you are pulling a spreader, due to the fact you are unable to reach back to the controls of the spreader.
Riding mower is you just turn around to pull your control lever on spreader. If you buy from a box store, they are not going to help you with some of the items you need help with. Check with a few dealer”s, I am certain they can match a box store, having service is very important, this is a residential mower, not commercial in my opinion.
Good Luck
