Greetings.
I purchased a new ZTR mower 3 years ago when we moved into our new house. I did not know any better and bought a sub $4000 Husqvarna Z246i with a B&S at HD. The thing is now literally falling apart. The deck is like Swiss cheese and the leading edge is being constantly reshaped with my trusted sledgehammer. Two sets of spindles already and a leaking motor. I lubricate, change filters, sharpens and take care of it. It's dying. It's now time to buy to correct tool. I can't afford to buy a cheap mower anymore.
- My property is a not so smooth 3ish acres consisting of Bermuda and St-Augustine peppered with oak roots.
- It can also be soggy at times.
- Mostly flat.
- Pull a large garden trailer often.
- I need to mow twice a week in the summer and once a week in the winter.
So... Should I go commercial with ZT3200 or better or even Parker or... Should I go high end residential with a likely ZT3100.
No dealers nearby at all beside HD, Lowes and TSC. Within two hours most brands can be found and don't mind driving. My zip is 29910.
Thank you all for your time in advance.
