    Definitely need to include kubota - my zero turn diesel with 60 inch deck is a true workhorse that just “goes -goes-goes” . I use it on my farm cutting 6 acres of grass plus lot of rough fence line edges that I should use a tractor bush hog for - I added trailer hitch and it pulls a light trailer which often gets way to much weight for its rating but the kubota doesn’t seem to even notice. Service at dealer is top notch and they will send service truck out if requested - best of all when I sold the first kubota I owned I got more in resale than what I paid for it from a landscaper who was thrilled to get it - my replacement which is just a larger unit is 7 years, 3500 hours of trouble free operation, and still no hydraulic /engine or oil issues. I do change fluids more often than manual recommendation but so I spent an extra couple hundred dollars over the years - a small price compared to savings in trouble free operation.
    You definitely should add Kubota to your lists and also show prices for all the different machines

      We just got a Kubota dealer in our town and Im on farmland etc. Is your Kubota Diesel or Gas? What model are you running now days? I'm thinking I will finally be a Kubota owner if they are offering a 7 year 3500 hour warranty. Ive been running a 1999 New Holland mc-35 AWD Front mower with a 74 inch deck.

      I have a ZD 21 and the only problem was the deck ram seal went out and leaked fluid pretty bad. It wasn’t a cheep fix b/c the dealer said it wasn’t “resealable” so I had to get a entire new ram that lifts the deck. Other than like you said changing fluids is about the only thing I’ve done along with greasing spindles and the drive shaft. Still on the original deck belt too. I use it, don’t abuse it, but it’s been no garage Queen either she will take way more than I can give it that’s for sure.

    For sure Kubota and Gravely need to be added. I own a Ferris.Why? Suspension period.They all use the same hydraulics, engine and tire manufacturers. To me it came down to comfort. What I couldn't compare was the cutting ability. Speed is nice but you had better have razor sharp blades or the cut will look shaggy. I like ease of access to grease spindles etc.Choose your color, make sure you have dealer support for parts and maintain the unit. Every spring I inspect belts, change oil, change fuel filter, change air filters, clean battery terminals, change hydro oil and filters every 100 hours and grease everything that has a zerk fitting. Maintenance is the key regardless of make.

    Had a Scag and tested a new Scag while waiting for parts, machine overheated twice. Looked at Scag, Farris, Wright, Toro, JD and Bobcat. My local Scag dealer sucks. Bought a Bobcat ZT7000 and am very happy. Toro was a little bit of a let down for the price. Wright surprised me with an excellent machine but was being sold by the same scrappy Scag dealership. The dealership made the difference followed by quality of the machine, then price.

      I had a Snapper with the single joystick years ago. I has advantages like being able to operate one-handed. But there were disadvantages like being harder to keep both wheels moving while making turns. It was good for the time I had it but wouldn't go back to that now. The flip up deck concept definitely seems like an advantage tho.

    @user-hq2qq1si6n 15 วันที่ผ่านมา +7

    Kubota being left off this list is a joke. Ive been mowing commercially for 30 years. I’ve had Dixies, John Deere, Exmarks, Scags Grasshoppers and Kubotas. Kubota outperforms them all and for reliability and longevity they’re is no comparison. I have a 2008 ZD326 Diesel that has 4300 hours on it and other than normal maintenance and new tires it has been a great mower. I have a 2013 same mower with 3400 hours in it and the same goes for it. I just recently purchased 2 48 inch stand in’s and so far so good. I perform maintenance in regular intervals and they look brand new. Even the 2008. In a one man operation for the most part and I don’t abuse my equipment. These mowers have made me a lot of money. I do have 2 Dixie’s that I use during the rainy season because you can cut grass during a torrential downpour and the cut quality looks like you mowed it dry. They’re also lighter weight and won’t rut the yards when they’re wet. Bad thing about Dixie’s are they are built for speed so they’re lightweight but don’t hold up as well. Bad thing about my Kubota diesels are they are heavy as a tank and it’s hard to not leave a divot on wet grass or grass that doesn’t have a thick root system. My 48 inch stand ons are what I bought to replace my Dixie’s when they finally go to the scrap yard. Kubota should have been either number 1 or 2 on this list. Ferris is probably number 1 but you can’t afford them and they can’t cut wet grass or the chute and deck get clogged.

      Yes, they are the same. I’ll be making a video about them.
      Not really any point in having two of the same mowers on this list… also found that stihl is usually more expensive and dealer support (on the mower side, not handheld) isn’t very good.

    • @martianshoes
      @martianshoes หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I worked at a Stihl dealer - the zero turn roll out was not well planned. Word inside the industry is that Briggs & Stratton who owns Ferris, Simplicity, Snapper and the Murray name (since 2005) may end up being partially or wholly owned by Stihl soon. B&S was bought in 2020 by an investment group that reorganized the company into separate divisions one of which is turf. Also we hear that Snapper and Simplicity are going away.

    The newer fuel injected Hustler has a lot of problems such as, trottle body sensor, after a few hours or beginner use has air intake and gas sucking issues. If bought outaide of the states have problems finding parts or sourcing parts from dealers or even being able to contacting dealers. I know this for a fact because i have used both the fuel injected and the choke version in my dsily work literally evwry day at present. The choke version which is the older model is superior working choice and doesnt break down as easily and takes a licking. I have used it in very harsh conditions like on a sugarcane field tuened lawn, it is a beast.

    Have had my JD 997 for 11 years and it has proven to be a great asset. It is used to not only mow 6 acres of grass but it is used to clip our pasture fields. The Yanmar Diesel engine has proved to be quite a workhorse and with regular upkeep has proven to be quite trouble free. Also since it is a diesel it fits right in with all of the other farm equipment drawing fuel from just one bulk tank.

    I have over 10000 hours xp on Exmark. I do have a few hundred hours on scag from a tiny one that I think was 42 inches to the 61 inch turf tiger and cheetah. My opinion of the scag is mixed I'm in CT we have very thick lush lawns that can grow 6-12 inches a week in May. The scag power was excellent. Speed was excellent the cheetah could do 16 mph that was insane you couldn't cut that speed but on a street getting back to the trailer omg was that fun. The controls are extremely tight and responsive. Fuel consumption was abysmal over 2 gallons an hour. (I get a little over an 1.1 gallons an hour with my 38 hp kohler red tech exmarks with 60 and 72 inch decks) Last time I had an extended scag demo some 2 weeks I had one that had 2 tanks 7.5 gallons a side. It would kill an entire tank in 4 hours or less I was use to getting 5 gallons for the entire day from exmark so that was a serious issue. The other issue I do not agree with is the so called quality of cut. Scag leaves a mediocre finish cut that your be going over 3-4 times here to make it presentable. The massive 2 foot wide discharge sides are doing it no favors and the grass lengths are way to long to disperse.

    I would point out that Scag and Toro are the only ZTR’s with roller bearing spindles in a cast steel housing.
    But it’s surprising how long sealed roller bearing spindles will last. If you don’t hit stuff.
    Grasshopper and Walker are good mowers too. They’re just not in this category.
    Neither are the wide area mowers. Like Toro Groundsmaster, Howard Price, Rainsomes Bobcat. etc.

    When I worked for commercial company they tried out John Deere but their leaf vac’s were terrible and they had a lot more problems after the 2nd and 3rd year of use as opposed to the exmarks. Granted this was 5 yrs ago so they could have easily improved since then. Hands down the worst thing about was the leaf vac, everybody would get pissed if they got sent out with a John Deere for leaf removals.

  • @dguiley
    @dguiley 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    So my question is why there are so many big horsepower engine options. First of all, that's only half the equation because toque has a lot to do with how the mower will perform. I got out of the commercial mowing business years ago but still like to mow a few lawns and tinker with equipment. Currently I am "rehabbing" 2 Toro ZMaster 587L machines and one of its Laser Z cousins. The Toros have 27hp and the Exmark is 22hp but I see little difference in performance when it comes to mowing heavy grass. They all power through just fine. My one ZMaster has 12cc pumps and will move quite a bit faster than the Exmark with 10cc pumps, but there could be other variables I'm not considering, And honestly, you can only mow so fast on most yards due to size and terrain constraints. I can't wait to get my other ZMaster together to see how it compares to its brother and cousin. I got it with a broken wheel motor which I replaced and now am waiting on the rebuilt pump to be ready so I can get it all back together.
