I'm looking to go in with my parents to buy a mower. I have about two acres to mow, and they have just under one acre to mow. We live next door to each other. We are looking at a zero turn model.
Our budget is about $4,000 (each pay $2,000). A local dealer carries Cub Cadet, Gravely, and eXmark mowers. My current mower is a Cub Cadet rider, 2000 series, 48" deck. I have a really bad taste in my mouth with Cub Cadets, as the belt that runs from the PTO to drive the blades frequently failed. Maybe a newer zero turn would be better? Anyway, the models I am considering are:
Cub Cadet Z-Force
Gravely ZT XL
eXmark Quest E-Series
My dad has deferred the purchase decision to me.
Any experiences, insight, thoughts, or opinions on one brand vs. another would be appreciated.
Thanks! Bob B.
