Another good point! I'm gonna call him later and ask if he can bring it to my house and I'll give it a go, see if it fits. I wonder if he will do it.

my yard isnt very smooth so i cut slower then it will go besides i like to be riding it anyway but i cut 2.5 acres and i can do it in 45 mins with no problem but i take my time and it takes me about a hour and 15 but like i said my yard is ruff so its hard on me and the mower if i run to fast i do cut the soccer fields up the road from me its 4 acres i mow it in just under 2 hours

most of the dealers will let you try them if they know your interested but want to see how it works and will work for what you need i test mowed with 4 diffrent mowers before i decided on the Exmark

Well Scott, I appreciate your help and advice. I was gonna go for a smaller cutting deck but the dealer recommended the 60" and he's probably right, if it fits between the few shrubs and plants I have etc. apart from Dixie and maybe J Deere, Exmark seems to be the most loved brand by owners. My friend has had a Lazer Z for eight years and loves it.

Is there a Kubota dealer close by? They make a great mower and some of their smaller zero turns will work for your price range. Not sure about now but many times they will finance 0 down and 0 interest as well.
