zero turn mower. I want to get a new one and really don't know which is the best. I have about 1.2 acre. I really would like a deck size as close to 50" as I can get. the ones I've been looking at so far
John Deere 54", 23HP. $4000. I'm pretty sure this is about $1000 overpriced because of the name brand alone. it does seem to come with a better warranty and it is MUCH faster than any of the others for some reason.
Toro 50", 22HP. $3000. overall, this seems to be the one that is the best total package as far as reviews, features, and bang for buck.
Husqvarna 46", 19HP. $2500. lower HP, smaller deck, mixed reviews. don't know about this one.
the only mower I really have any experience with is Craftsman, which I like, but they don't seem to make a decent zero turn. any other recommendations? I know there are other 'boutique' brands like Dixie Chopper, but I really don't want to go the very expensive route. I really doubt I'm willing to go $4000 for the John Deere.
