May 28, 200917 yr I have a John Deer zero turn. Use to take me 3 hrs. to mow my lawn, now I can do it in 1 hour. IMO these are the very best. [ATTACH]27829[/ATTACH] I have one just like this one. My wife never used to like to mow the lawn before with our 60 in tractor. Now she wants to mow twice a week, she loves mowing with it.
May 29, 200917 yr It depends on how big a land you want to mow. If you have something under an acre, it may not be worth the expense. My experience with zero turns has been the larger the yard, the better they are. You can mow in straight lines with much more speed. However, if you have a lot of turns and trees to negotiate, they will leave "skid" marks in the yard when the mower turns. I've mowed five acres of mostly open land in about 3 1/2 hours before. Not fast but not a snail's pace either. It's easy to leave some skidmarks when it's wet. But, if you're that concerned about skidmarks, they're fairly easy to avoid. Just slow down a little bit & don't try to turn as sharply. I'd highly recommend a 0-turn tractor if you can afford it. The more you're cutting, the better the investment. How much do you cut regularly?

How much do you cut regularly? I mow about 10-15 acres a week, when I do mow. I'm not mowing this week, but when I do, it's 10-15 acres. Mostly open lake lots and large yards, but some that are obstacle courses around houses.

May 29, 200917 yr The Zero Turn Mower almost makes cutting the grass enjoyable. Plug in an iPod and you're good to go.

May 29, 200917 yr Author I meant Latch. Obviously you already have one, too. :thumb: About an acre and a half. I bought a Lowes 20% coupon of Ebay for $8 two days ago. It will save me $400 on the mower, with the total being around $2100.
