[AT] ZTR's

[David Holcombe]

I've been mowing semi-commercially for over 3 years. I read everything I 
could get my hands on
before I finally got a ZTR. The first thing I bought was an Exmark Metro 
walk-behind with a 13 hp Kohler,
36" cut with a sulky. I can mow any lawn in 1/3 the time a conventional 20 
hp, 42" deck can.

Last summer I bought an Exmark Lazer Z, only 18 hp, 44" deck. I can mow any 
lawn in over half the time
a conventional  20 hp, 44" deck can.

You may be able to get a better mower, but for my money it is an Exmark.

If you want a ZTR with a bagger I would use a Walker.

If you want mow on a slope, just mow it up and down, not sideways. You have 
to remember
that these machines are driven by hydraulics and have the same pressure on 
the wheels whether
going up hill of down hill.
