What is a good entry-level ZTR mower, since I only have a small lawn care business. I don't want to spend more than a couple grand. Troy-Bilt, Husqvarna, Toro, something else??
Take a look at the Gravely ZT or the Ariens ZT, same mower. One thing to keep in mind is switching from bagging to mulching is a pain and you can't find Gator or Oregon blades to fit the 42" deck. Can't speak for the other decks. You can get this mower with a 23hp Kawasaki for about 2900.00. Decent entry level mower with a nice engine.
