Help me decide ZT mower

[RatRacer]

Hi,
I have a 2009 Country Clipper 60" Boss with the 26hp Kaw engine and I love it. The 26 horse is more powerful that I originally thought it would be and will power at speed through all but high wet grass. It also has the joy stick steering and tilt deck. I made some alterations to it though. I added semi pneumatic Reliance castor tires because of constantly having slow leaks and flats. My property has brambles here and there. I can't tell the difference in the ride with the semi solid tires and am well satisfied with them. NO more flats. I also removed the two pully guards on the deck. Drilled 4 holes in the bottom corners of each, and bolted 4 @ 5/8" magnets from K&J Magnetics to each. I then installed 2 allen socket headless bolts to each side in the original deck holes and left 1/2" protruding to center the guards on. Now I can remove the guards and blow off or wash the deck with ease. The guards do stay put when mowing. No slip and slide. I also connect a $20 automatic trickle charger to the battery every winter. All in all I think I made a good purchase. Starts first time every time, is easy to change blades and clean with the tilting deck, and looks good. No drink holder though.

Well, LOL, I think I have decided. I am going tomorrow to try and hash out the deal on a Country Clipper Jazee Pro DLX. It has the kohler Command Pro 27HP with the commercial cylindrical air cleaner system, a 60" deck, and a very, VERY plush seat and armrests. They tell me this seat is a $600 upgrade. It has the ZT3100 trannies, and is the twin stick not the joystick. It sits very low and has a very wide track. Everyone has said it is very stable on slopes thanks to this stance and low center o garvity. The drawback is it only has a 2 year warranty-(3 year on deck frame, and spindles) but the positives in the end outweigh that. The more I thought about it, I started thinking what was the biggest hassle all these years IMO while using/maintaining my garden tractor, and I decided it was laying on the ground trying to clean underneath my deck. Also being made an hour away is a plus as well as having a great dealer 15 minutes away. I told them today where I was $$-wise, and he told me he thinks he can get me there-which is about $1400 less than msrp. So should he hit the right number I will most likely pull the trigger. I will post pictures but not sure how. Do I need to upload them to something like photobucket 1st like a lotta other message boards?

Good bargaining luck sir. This stuff is all about personal decisions that fit each individuals desire and situation anyways.
Posting pics? PM me, and I'll walk you through the multitude of ways to get them up here.

I hope you get it... serviceing the deck is exactly why I bought my country clipper...
