The Argument Over The Best Zero Turn Mower Continues

What Is the Best Zero Turn Mower On the Market?

"The Guys" were gathered at the coffee shop observing their almost every Friday morning ritual. Being early April talk turned to the fact that the grass was coming up and it needed to be cut.

Al was in the market for one of the new fangled zero turn mowers. Knowing Tom, sitting next to him, had one he didn't hesitate to ask him which might be the best zero turn mower to go with.

Tom didn't hesitate. "First don't get caught up in that "must spend big bucks on a mower crap". I know your place. You don't need any $4000 testosterone fix. For you the best zero turn mower is one of the so called entry level models. It will do the job and not break the bank. I have a Cub Cadet as you know. And believe that would suit you just fine."

"Yeah my Cub Cadet has a 50 inch deck and it packs a Kasasaki engine in it," said Sal. "It was just a shade under three grand if memory serves - last year. That's what you need alright."

Pete chimed in, "Well I think there's nothing wrong with Dixon. Personally I would rather have a Gravely though."

Are you beginning to see that asking which is the best zero turn mower isn't a question easily answered?

Regardless of model or brand it's probably smart to avoid a stamped deck if at all possible. Sometimes your budget won't let you go welded. But the deck is simply the most important part on any mower.

"You guys are crazy," Pete said in his customary understated way. "If you're looking for the best zero turn mower watch the classifieds and see if you can't find yourself a good used commercial Gravely mower like I did. Watch for one with less than 2,00 hours on it. Snag one of those and you won't regret it. It will last longer than you do."
