I bought a John Deere F252, front mounted mower not really a zero turn, just for mowing. It is small, nimble and cut my mowing times around house and buildings by a third.
When I move the mowing operations to the large obstacle free area I bring out the Cyclops 1862. It's like driving Cadillac compared to the Deere. Foot control on the Deere doesn't bother me around the house, kills my ankle trying to hold it steady in the open.
Just broke a belt on the John Deere, dealer wants $77 for one. Amazon $35 shipped for a Gates belt. Deere is really proud of their parts.
