I have never really used a zero turn but i would think it was fun! i dont like the look of the cuts though. i think the riding mower/garden tractor looks really nice.

What is it that you don't like about the ZTR cut? What makes you think it's cut isn't equal to or better than the riding mower/garden tractor ?

Really, there is no difference in the cut I would think. They are like the same kind of mower, except one can turn sharper. They both can have the same number of blades.

I think its just how when one uses a tractor its in a circular pattern and when the zero turn its the straight lines. its kind of hard to explain. I think its how the wheels hit the grass.

You can get lawn stripers for almost any kind of mower....or make your own. :thumbsup: They are expensive to buy, though. I wanted one for my 21 in. mower and it was $60-100!! :shocked:
