Need Advice on A Mower Purchase

[BillH2]

I find myself with newly acquired 1.5 Acres of lawn to mow and I need the appropriate mower. The lawn is flat and fairly open, (3 trees). I have decided on a zero turn model with the idea of using it around the house also. Here is what I have looked at so far:

A Hustler Fastrak 60"

A John Deere Z445 48"

Going to look at Toro today, I am leaning towards the John Deere but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Bill

There is limited dealer availability in this area, no Tractor Supply stores in Washington State.

I would recommend a Toro Timecutter, if you are looking at something to ride on.

It looks like the Toro MX5060 is going to be the choice.

Bill,
I bought this exact mower last Spring and I absolutely love it. I think its a great residential mower with quite a few professional features like the welded deck, Kawasaki motor, and serviceable hydro units. If you search "mx5060" you can see my review / comments on it.
Take care,
Bruce

I was going to buy the toro titan but got a better deal on a ferris. Loved the titan tho. But between your 2 choices I would go with the hustler because it built better and has a welded deck.

I was told by the Toro salesman that the MX5060 also had a welded deck. Not having a welded deck would be a deal breaker.
