Exmark offers many walk-behinds from 21-30 inches wide. They include the Commercial 21, Commercial 30, and the Exmark Metro 26 which is not going to be made this year.
Here is a comparison of the specs of these mowers.

haha:laughing::laughing: I doubt it because a lot of people said that the Kawasaki engine was underpowered on the Metro 26, so if the Commercial 30 and Toro Tufmaster have the same engine, I wonder if it is going to lack power also. :confused2:

I wonder if these are worth the money? Getting to places my ZTR can't get to.

I will have to agree with Scott on this one. The Metro 26 was heavy and hard to turn, and also underpowered. I wish it had front caster tires to make it easier to turn. I might demo the Exmark Commercial 30 this spring/summer. Unfortunately it has the same engine, but it is supposed to be more compact. :thumbsup: It wasn't a horrible mower, but it wasn't my favorite!

The Commercial 21 might be better than the Metro 26.

yeah if it had caster wheels on the front i might think about it i even thought about putting another engine on it a biger one but then thought why waste that much money and then have to repower it and add more weight to it

Yes, you should not have to go to all that trouble for the money you paid. I guess exmark are better at the larger mowers, more HP and good all around structure. I've heard from other users that they are very heavy and difficult to manouver.

If that's all you are using them for is getting into places your Ztr can't go then I'd say NO there not worth the money. I use the Cub Cadets the 98H and the 999ES with the castor wheels in the front.
