Who uses GTs and who uses Zero turns

[gfp55]

Do you cut grass with a Zero turn or do you cut grass with a Garden tractor?

ZTR here and will never go back.

I think its going to be heavy on the ZT side and light on the GT side.

ZT also.

ZT hands down for me.

Depends on the job.
For doing steep hills I use a rider or a walk behind.
A rider will hold hills that a ztr can not.

For most everything else I use a ztr.

Thank you Carscw, Some input that people can use and understand why and when to use a zero turn and when to use a GT.

I mowed with a tractor for about 14 years. My property is mostly flat, but quite a few obstacles. I've wanted a ZT for a few years and finally bought a Hustler. Mowing is no longer a mundane chore. I went from an hour to about 35 minutes.

For years I used a GT until I re-damaged my left shoulder.

Simply turning the steering wheel became quite painful. I put up with the pain for a year and finally said no more. I bought a zero turn mower.

Operating a ZT causes me no pain whatsoever, it's much quicker to get the job down and is frankly fun to run.

Now, the pain in your wallet for a ZT is something else altogether...but once you swallow that bit of financial indigestion, you'll be good to go.
