Excluding the price

[Oiltech]

Just bought 12.5 acres, all flat, has 50 live oak tress that are 50 years old. The land was prepared for a subdivision and the trees are in 4 rows. I have a Kubota L3540 and a Exmark Lazer z 48" deck.

I considered buying a 84" finishing mower for the tractor to mow this grass but several folks said the cab on the tractor would be an issue with the trees and I could mow the acreage quicker with a ZTR but obviously not with a 48" deck.

So my question is what machine to buy to mow the acreage quickly as possible, have a good ride and be dependable? Gasoline Kawasaki engine or Diesel engine?

I am willing to spend the $ to get the right tool to do the job!

Lets hear your ideas and suggestions:smile:

Around here Exmark is the most popular with professionals, so I would either recommend another Lazer Z (but a wider one) or a Toro Z-Master. (If you like the Lazer Z you have now!) :thumbsup:

Yep, Ric you sure pointed user Oiltech in the right direction with those Hustlers!!! The Super Z HD's are what I saw on the lawn service trailer at Discount Tire, but they were the little bitty 60" models:0)
Those are the ones I mentioned in the "What is Your Dream ZTR" thread, but buying one of those for your personal use would be like buying a Ferrari and driving it only in School Zones:0)

Get a toro grounds master and trim the trees the ones with covers can have a/c and heat

Any 72" ZT will do. Or a ventrac if your looking for attachments.
