The 5th page on GTs verses ZTRs!!!! WOW!!!!
I have two ZTRs and what they are intended for, they do a great job!!! Mowing only!!!!
I also have a large GT, it mows with or without collection, it plows with a 54" blade, it operates a 48" single stage snow blower, it hauls my cargo trailers around my place, it hauls logs out of the woods, it hauls my wagon with whatever is in it, rocks, fire wood, wood chips, it just happens to be a little slower mowing than my ZTRs, but I can put it where no ZTR will go and get out!!!
I worked on a farm when I was a kid and mowed the orchards with a Farmal Cub that towed three sets of 3 30" gang reel mowers, ain't no ZTR gonna do that!!
Some of us have been around since long before the ZTR was ever thought of, for whatever this is worth and I wish that I still had my 1950 Oldsmobile Super 88 hardtop!!!! Yellow roof, black body!!!!

There's a fairly long and detailed YouTube video showing a Hustler vs a standard rider on wet slopes. It's really a Hustler infomercial but I would assume it applies to most ZTRs.

Here's the link:

Heres a link to a detailed review of that same mower: Hustler Raptor 42 inch Review | Top Rated Zero Turn Mower Reviews

Hustler, Toro, Ariens and Bobcat to name a few residential models have a good lower center of gravity and perform well on slopes. Also Consider front steering controlled zero turns with Steering Wheels. Such as Exmark Quest-S Series or Cub Cadet RZT-S.
