I have been a loyal John Deere consumer for over 20yrs but have recently ventured away from the old green and yellow and as of 1pm today taken delivery of a brand new CC RZT-S 46 zero turn. I must say it looks very sturdy and well constructed in appearance.I cannot take it on its maiden voyage due to heavy rain over the last few days, and plan to do so this Saturday.Ive read a lot of pros and cons associated with this model and look forward to finding out on my own over the course of the summer and posting my impressions. I will post my initial findings soon and look forward to any feedback good or bad. " go forth and mow with strength and honor" my grandad used tell me that as a child ..He really enjoyed mowing the lawn. LOL
