Rzt s46

What would you be looking at if you were in my situation planing for next year? I got 25 weekly residentially my first year and lost out on a 1 acer and a 1.5 because I was not equipped for that kind of work and was not sure how things would go. Now that my first year is almost outa the way and things went amazingly I am pumped for next year and want to be equipped to do a couple Bigger property's? But would like to spend $3000 could maybe spend $5000 if I had to.

Well if I had 25 weekly residential clients I wouldn't waste my money on the Rzt s46. Those ezt drives wont hold up long being used like that. If I were looking for a ZTR I would be looking for at least the 2800 or 3100 Hydros with a good commercial grade engine Kawasaki or Kohler. If your looking at Cub Cadet Try looking at the 48" Z-Force with the lap bars, there selling those for $4199 and they have the commercial grade 22hp Kohler engine, 2800 drives with the Fab deck, some dealers are selling them as a low end commercial unit. I would also look at the Toro high end residential units if I didn't want to break the bank, I think there running the Kawasaki engines with the 3100 drive units in and around the same price range as the CC Z-Force unit. The other thing I would consider if I was spending 3 to 5000 would be Craigslist and finding a kick azz used Commercial unit with low hours, if you could buy a unit there you would come way out a head of the game.
 
The 25 clients I have I will continue to use my 30 in toro and 22 inch toro and I will also use these for any new residential clients next year. The Ryder will be for any larger yards I might be able to take on next year. I figure I will be cutting 2-5 acres a week with it.

25 clients with a Toro 30" mower? Apparently you don't like making money. What's going to happen when that 25 grows to 30, you still going to use that 30" toro? If you use the ZTR on the 25 you have now, you cut your mowing time in half and in the lawncare business Time Is Money. If your going to spend 3 to 5K on a mower to leave it on the trailer is foolish because it's not making you any money and it's not paying for itself and you can't cover your overhead. If you're going to run a business you'd better start thinking a head and forget the 1 to 1.5 acre lots because they will cost you money in the long run.
