Zero Turn Mowers With A Steering Wheel?

[Tchetek]

I think a goat will get stolen, sung a lullaby, and be eaten.

Neighbors have the cadet and love it.

The RZT with the steering wheel?

Get a john deere zero turn and just fill your camelback with booze and ice.

I have been looking at the John deer zero turns but for price wise doesn’t look like you get as much bang for your buck as some other companies

They (likely) all have issues. JD warranty and customer service is amazing.

True, but that green paint is amazing and you could probably get parts at 3am.

Who needs to cut their grass at 3AM?

You'd be doing yourself a serious injustice if you don't look at a Kubota. John Deere is the best marketing company in the world, but that's about where it stops.

Have a look at a Toro.
Very comfortable ride


I drove one around the shop and in the show room.

Worth checking out.

All I would say is stay with higher end manufacturing?
I have JD but would look at the good brands as well as some nice units out there.
Suspension is nice and being able to tilt the deck up which JD doesn’t do.
Kubota , grasshopper ,toro all good.
You pay for what you get .

Nobody has mentioned Ferris with suspension
That would be my next zero turn
Currently have a Deere but seen them in action and very impressive the Ferris is

Until JD comes out with something original they designed on their own, that's better than what's on the market, I'll stand by that statement.

ok, lol.....you can't be serious?

you ever heard of the John Deere "7-iron" deck?
That's the green one that goes on the Deere commercial decks.....Pretty much bullet proof.....designed...built ....by John Deere.

Deere also has a major parts distribution centre right here in Edmonton, Alberta...that's a huge deal for anyone who has dealt with some "other" brands where a machine can be down for days...weeks waiting for parts to arrive.

When it comes to lawnmowers, go ask your hardware store guys if they stock parts.
Most have no idea what you need, most have no idea where to get parts from and if your machine is an older discontinued model....good luck with getting the right components. Not an issue with Deere....

I'm not bad mouthing the Kubota mower....I've heard a couple good things about them.....but for you to make a general statement about your competitor - John Deere - - that their product (quality) stops beyond marketing is a little short sighted on your part....


Does Deere make cheaper models to compete with the other brands?? ****in' right they do! And you get what you pay for! But they also make mid priced and higher end models...again you get what you pay for. Remember, If you are buying a Deere mower at the hardware store, you are buying the entry line models....it doesn't mean that ALL the models built are built in that level of quality.

Get smart - do your homework, talk to other owners (of that model), find out about parts availability on current (and especially older models - because your new mower will soon be a discontinued unit and you will want parts), find out about getting repairs - service if needed.

There is usually a reason why some models cost more than others....its more than just paint.

That is the one I was looking at or the next step up from it

I cant afford $8k lawn mowers. $3500 does the trick

How many hours do you have on it? Any issues?

Only about 75 hours, owned since new. I mow 2.5 acres with it. (Looking at my low hours, cuts pretty fast lol)
No issues, just blade sharpen and oil change, I use a multch kit also.

It has the Kawasaki engine.
