Grasshopper vs husqvarna

[1982ace]

Looking at these two mowers
Grasshopper 125v-52 with a kohler confidant engine for $5500
Husqvarna mzt 52 with Kawasaki fs651 for same price
Seems grasshopper has better deck but smaller rear tires
Anyone own either of these?

With the specs of both I would go with Husqvarna. 2mph faster and better motor. They both have integrated pump/motor. Grass Hopper is Parker and Husqvarna is Tuff Turf wheel motors.
This is just my openion. Take it as you will.

I went with the grasshopper 125,got a great deal on a last years model otherwise probably would've went the other way. It did an awesome job first time out.
