Best Zero Turn - Under $3500

[zmister11]

I think you'll be in good shape, when I was looking at CL for mowers I noticed they didn't seem to turn over quickly around here!

Hey u never know! I sold mine on Craigslist in 2 days lol I was very surprised.

I am interested in a new zero turn for my yard only...it's about 1.5 acres in New Hampshire. I have a pretty strict budget of $3500 and am trying to figure out the best mower I can buy. I have a local husqvarna dealer, but nothing else close...all 45-60 min away other than husqvarna.

I think these are my top options...but not entirely sure if i'm missing a brand or model? Just wondering what you would buy, and why. My yard has some hills, some flat, and some bushes/trees to also mow around. Any input would be great.

Bad Boy MZ Magnum ($3399 msrp) - Kawasaki FR65 1V / Kohler KT740

Huslter Raptor - ($2800 msrp 42" vs $3200 52") Kohler Pro 7000 25hp

Hustler Raptor SD - ($3999 msrp) Kohler Pro 7000 25hp (i think there are some decent deals on these right now locally)

Husqvarna Z248F - ($3499 msrp) Kawasaki FR 691V 23hp / Briggs Vanguard 23hp

Husqvarna MZ 54S - ($3999 msrp) "Semi-Commercial Machine" - Briggs Endurance Comm 25hp (no idea if they budge on price)

Gravely ZT XL - ($4099 msrp) Kawasaki FR V-Twin/Kohler 7000 (again no idea if they budge on these)

Gravely ZT X - ($3499 msrp) Kohler 7000
