Default Good, Better, Best ZTR
Hi guys,

I've been thinking of picking up a ZTR. I really don't know much about them, so I thought I'd ask the experts.

If you were looking to pick up another ZTR, which model would you look for?

I mow a little over an acre of pretty level ground.

Thanks,

Ike

Toro also makes a great ZTR. The one my brother has is one tough mower. Some of the kubotas scare me with the hydro setup being one unit.

A lot will depend on your budget and what you can afford. I like Gravely, but my next choice would be Kubota.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

What, no good Cub Cadet ZTR?

I may try to pick up a ZTR for a Winter project. Something that needs a little TLC.

Thanks, Ike

Exmark & Scag. Watch out for some of the Kubota ZD's. I hear they had an issue with some of the hydro's. I guess basically if you want something heavy duty it needs to cost $8K+ new.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
