[AT] Semi-off topic Zero Turn mowers

[Chuck Saunders]

Charlie, I got a Toro and have been very pleased. I did go the step
above the series Lowes carries. The school district I work for runs
Toro after switching from the JD F series (which could also plow snow).
When the lease was up they renewed with Toro. I think it was the speed
of the ZTR that won out over the F series.

Charlie,

Mine as well but the decision to buy one was more related to the mower
itself AND the dealer.  I replaced a JD front deck mower with the
Simplicity and the reason for the brand switch was the ownership change
at the JD dealer.  Part of the restructuring of the JD dealer network I
think.  Side note - the former owner of that dealership and the
dealership where I bought the Simplicity are distant cousins.  Also I
have bought a number of power equipment items fro the Simplicity
dealer.  Local people who value providing service to their customers.
As the years have gone by that aspect means more to me than saving a
couple dollars.  Now dollars are important so there is a limit on the
premium I will pay for that service but to date these people have proved
their worth.
