[AT] ZTR mowers

[David Bruce]

I bought a Simplicity model with a 48" deck a couple years ago. Most of 
my mowing is on level areas but I do have a few hills to manage. All in 
all I've been happy with mine - especially because I have a local dealer 
if I have issues.
This one cost me a bit over $5K (US) so certainly not on the 'cheap' 
route.  I also looked at some others and the usual ones sold by the big 
box stores left me cold.
