Who uses GTs and who uses Zero turns

I use a John Deere 115 lawnmower that's not a zero turn mower. I can't afford a zero turn mower because they're way too expensive for me. I got this John Deere for $100 and have been going through refurbishing it as I have time. I think I would like to have a zero turn mower, but it's just not possible for me. That's probably the case with most people that have the garden tractors. Mines a 42 inch cut, which seems to work fine for my size yard which is roughly half an acre. If I find a very inexpensive zero Turn mower I might up grade my machine.
 
Looked into zero turns, but there is no way they would work on my place. Even to rough in spots for garden tractor, so i went with a front mower, jacobsen turfcat. It is 4wd, and I almost got it stuck yesterday.
 
I use GT mowers. I love zero turns and it would be quicker to cut the few acres I do have with one, but I do a lot more with a lawnmower than just cut the grass. I like to haul things, I had a garden, and I like riding my kids on the mower!
 
I'm still using my grandpa's hand-me-down scissors, BUT, I did buy knee-pads ..( LOL ) ..:laughing:..:laughing:

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.

Same here. Many years with Ole Red. Old Wheelhouse 414-8. Great garden tractor.
With the Hustler, it cuts clippings up much better, is faster, and doesn't beat you up as much.
My mowing also went from 1 hour to 35 minutes, and was able to cut closer to things.
 
I mow commercially and use a hydro walk behind and a ZTR. A garden tractor isn't really a viable option for me. I do have a compact utility tractor but no finish cut mower for it.
 
Neither :smile: I'm using a simple walk-behind mower. I'd love to own a walk behind mower, but with a lawn as small as mine I could hardly justify spending that much money. :laughing:
