I have had a Gizmow 61" ZTR for a little more than 10 years, and I love it. It's fast and powerful, works great with mulching blades and a mulching plate, and it's very stable on the sloping back of my dam. If they started making them again, I would buy another one in a heartbeat. But it is getting a little temperamental, and some days it decides to take a rest. I am looking for a mower that I can use to cut the 2 or so acres around the house on those days and perhaps even use for the rest of my 7 acres over several days when I have to. I have an Ego 56-volt string trimmer, and it works surprisingly well. The Ego Z6 ZTR looks like it might work for me, and I'm wondering how it has worked out for others. The Gizmow with mulching blades and mulching plate works extremely well. I just mow clockwise and keep the clippings thrown to the right side, where I cut them over and over again until I am left with almost no visible clippings at all. Does anyone have any experience with the Ego mulching plate? Can the mower take mulching blades, and does it need them or the plate? How does the mower work when the grass gets really thick?
Any other comments would be helpful. I think I'm about ready to give it a try, but I thought I would see what others have experienced before I lay out $5000 for it. I know it will not be suitable for the back of the dam, but I can live with that. And at 81 years old, tinkering with temperamental gasoline beasts is not as much fun as it used to be.
Thanks,
Charlie
