It has a quick detach Front end loader ( worth its weight in gold) And a drive on quick attach 62'' deck.

Its built like a brick **** house and ive never had a problem with.

I mow 2.5 acres ( own 12) And it mows great/fast and Ive moved over 200 ton of fill with it.

I bought it cuz its very versatile, i was going to get a zero turn, but for a little more money i got a machine that can do it all.


I was watching a thing on Youtube about those the other day and I totally want one after watching it. Great tractor with GREAT features.

Seriously tho, 60" would allow the job to get down that much quicker. Get a weed whacker depending on how many feet or yds drainage ditch is; if it's too much, well scratch that idea.

I know ya don't wanna scalp, but could ya get a 60" & only, (ONLY, cut on each side of the ditch on next higher setting so it doesn't scalp? Say if everything is cut on a "3" or "4" setting, just in area closest to ditch, use a "4" or "5" setting?

Psst! You'd be the only 1 who knew long as it didn't bother ya & couldn't notice. I figure you've room to store a 60" too.

I'm no landscaper, but I hate scalping. Exmark if not Dixie, IMO.

LOL, Almost 700 linear feet of ditch, and thats just the one that runs thru the pasture. HAHA, hell no. No weed wackin that ****, I hate edging around the house. I've got plenty of room for the 60", but if it won't do what I need, then there's no need in spending the money. Besides, with the speed of these things already being at least twice as fast as my current mower, I figure I'll already be saving a lot of time.

Well finally went and picked up my new mower this morning. I decided on a Toro Z Master commercial zero turn. 21 hp kawasaki/48" deck. Got a hell of a deal on it and 0% for 60 months. It was a 2009 model so I really stole it price wise.

Forgot to get pictures of it when I got it home, mowed my yard in record time, and mowed some 12"-18" tall pasture grass at my neighbors across the way. Can't believe how it handled the pasture grass. Very pleased with my decision, will get some pictures of it tomorrow, going to a friends house to mow his yard with it, as he was hit by a truck about a month ago and still can't get around very well on his own.

Congrats on your new unit. Can't believe u even posted up w/. no pics. You're also not allowed to add it to your sig list of vehicles.
So since it allows u to mow in record time, now u can spend that "extra" time on moddin your truck.

As promised here are the pics






As far as the modding on my truck goes. I'm holding off for now. Now that I got my mower purchase out of the way I can concentrate on truck shopping. I've been wanting a lightly used diesel, but still thinking about a 2010 6.2 GMC Sierra also.
