Recommendation for new 0 turn mower

[13brian]

I bought a Sacg Liberty Z 61" almost 5 years ago. Have 4.6 acres, now about 3 acres, all field, no 'turf'. Could not be happier, HOWEVER... my smaller trailer is 59 3/4" between the rails
I do not regret my purchase at all, have had zero issues with it. But, I will have to put a temporary deck on my small trailer or get out the 8' x 19' trailer that has a deck at least 38" high, if I ever have to take it in. Warranty up in Oct (5 yr) got 0% 48 month financing (because it was there) and $1500 off MSRP. Just some things maybe to consider. I believe you'll really like the Hustler XD, especially if it is a good dealer. Had my eye on those one as well.

Sounds like you've had struggles with ZTR's in the past. As to push mowers, there are good for the right situation (I pushed many as a kid), but ZTR's are a must on the ranch here, I have two and don't find them a maintenance problem. But I'm used to working on tractors etc.

I've owned Dixie's, Kubota's and a Ferris, all have been good machines (all diesels I might add).

If I lived in the city on a typical 85' x 135' lot, I consider a pusher, or maybe a lawn service.

Not at all. Never owned a 0 nor had a need for one.

Soon as a company comes out that offers a superior design, less maintenance, easier to work on, better deck and blade combos, I'll stick with my fleet of old Snapper's. Can stand my RER on it's tail end and service away. And the pushers, still haven't found any brand that comes close to bagging, mulching or slinging as mine do. Wish they still made the good Snapper's.
