Hello and PLEASE H E L P :-)

New member here, been lurking for a few weeks while doing research on a new zero turn purchase. It's scary how every day I have a new favorite.

I have 10 acres but it's mostly wooded. Maybe around 2 acres of cleared with grass. Mostly flat here in Florida, not a manicured lot but still not horrible.

I'm leaning towards these 3 mowers. ....

Hustler Raptor SD

Husqvarna MZ5424

I see great things in all of them, yet some reviews are worrying lol. Thanks for any advice. Greg

A lot of views, no thoughts?

Anyone with personal experience with any of these? I'm definitely looking for a kawasaki powered mower.

Where in Florida are you located?

I don't have any experience with those mowers but out of the three on paper I like the Hustler the best. What's worrying you about the reviews?

Go to Tractor Supply and buy a Bad Boy mower.

The Raptor is a very nice rig, perfect for a couple acres. I recommend the 54", those beefy tires make it float better and it just plain looks cool. Pluses include the fabricated deck with full frontal reinforcement and four linkage foot deck drop, high back, well padded seat with arm rests, serviceable transmission, clean and easy maintenance layout, low c.o.g...just a nice rig.

No Im not kidding. If not a Bad Boy then maybe Bobcat or Big Boy mower if there's a dealer nearby.

The Raptor 54" specs look pretty good, if I were to buy another mower as a secondary mower I may consider it also.

No way would I ever consider or buy a Bad Boy Mower. The reason I say that is because a good majority of the BBM TSC received here needed to be repaired before they could be sold. TSC here doesn't even keep any in the store anymore all they stock and have outside are the Huskee, MTD and Cub Cadets.
