It's not residential...it's a commercial grade mower. It's a heavy duty machine. Very well built. I couldn't be happier with the quality. It was definitely built to last.

Here's a photo right after I bought it:

I have 5 acres to cut and I've cut it with the Bush Hog about 6 or 7 times now. Aside from some issues with the belts breaking due to old pulleys, which I'm working on, it's been great.
It can move...it's fast. And it cuts clean and level. Nice and even, even when the grass was a bit higher and thicker it didn't struggle near as much as my previous mower. I'm very impressed with the power and how well it cuts.
It has bar tires on it, which I love because I have some hills and it tackles them no problem. My previous mower was a lawn tractor with turf tires, and it would get stuck and spin it's tires frequently when turning on the hills.
The deck being out front is nice, because it tilts up for easy cleaning and blade removal.

It used to take me over 4 hours to cut the grass. Now it takes just over 2 hours. Can't beat that. :smile:

Wow....that is a very nice machine!!! With a little TLC it'll serve you well for many years to come. 400 hours on an out-front deck ZTR like that is nothing. They must not make those anymore because the ZT series is now their Residential model and has a mid-mount deck on it. The upper models are the Estate Series, Commercial Estate Series and Professional Series(all mid-mount decks). Enjoy!!
