Off Topic Zero turn mower recommendation.

[Porkpie]

I need advice on whats the best homeowner grade zero turn mower available at the moment. I’d like to do a pro grade but they seem to start at 7k which is a bit above the budget. Need to do a hair under 3 acres of mowing weekly, all flat ground. Thanks for your input. Also if you have a good dealer recommendation in the North Bay, Sturgeon Falls or Sudbury area I’d appreciate the name.

I love my Toro TimeCutter MX 5075 Zero Turn Mower model (74768). I've had it for 2 years and cut the time of mowing in half from the tractor I used for 18 years. The My-Ride suspension system takes out all the jarring of uneven terrain, it rides like a Cadillac compared to the Ride'm mower.

Thats a nice rig, we mow about 4 acres with a 54" Cub Cadet ZRT with steering wheel .We find the steering wheel unit allows better control on side slopes and hills and does not spin out. Also has two gas tanks ,cruise control and a 23 hp kawasaki motor. Lots of good options out there for mowers.

I have a 52” Columbia zero turn. Not a very expensive unit but have had for six years and zero issues. Cut my time to do 2 acres in half and cut looks perfect. Won’t be going back to a tractor style again.

Thanks for the input. I’ll look at the models suggested.

Have look at Dixie Chopper. Fastest mower on the market.

I had a Cub Cadet 54” with stick control and the 18 Hp Kawi. Great machine overall. It made it kinda fun to cut the grass. Wicked for trees and contours, not so great on hills. Need to be careful on anything past 10 degrees with any of the zero turns.

This year i bought a 54” Toro Titan with the my ride suspension and all I can say it is awesome. It was expensive and I guess would be considered entry level commercial grade. It cuts so nice and has cut my grass cutting time down tremendously, makes cutting grass fun for now.
I have 3 acres of grass and it’s fairly rough, but with the my ride this mower rides like a Cadillac.

I got the wife a John Deere Z445 with 54” deck about 5 years ago. Loves it. She cuts about 4 acres around trees in about 3 hours. She wont let me run it so i would say that it works perfect!

I love this mower comes with grass catcher and I can cut my 1/8 acre in about 7hr might be willing to sell for a good price

Just finished my lawn with a 37 year old Toro. Enjoy the peace and quiet cutting away.
