Sorry DB been out for tea, lovely bottle of reisling :). Yes it's a 2 instead of a 3 and it does have a fabricated cutting deck. A little big for me but quite a good mower I thought.

Deano :)

I did add to my other post I'm guessing the extra cost is for the speed and manoeuvrability as I have read a few forums ride on vs zero turn and everyone says zero turn all the way.

They are fast and have more manoeuvrability I guess thats what your paying for the ability to cut in and out of trees quickly. they can be dangerous on slopes form what I have read though so something for people that maybe reading this to consider...but then so can a ride on.

John Deere stuff is excellent, they have three different 'levels' of mower, similiar to Huskys H, L, C categorys. Their decks are particularly good especially on their more serious models.

That's interesting.

Everyone here must buy the ones for billiard table smooth 3-5 acre gardens and expect them to be able to mow paddocks and wonder why they're in at the mechanics every week.
(seriously, every week to second week a friends JD is in being repaired. She treats it like a tractor :eek: )

A bit like buying a 4WD really.

How many people buy their 4WD first and then decide where they are going to take it ? As opposed to buying a vehicle suited to the type of 4WDing they wish to do. :cool:

Deano :)

We've just upgraded to a Toro zero turn, we've gone from an mtd 42" (biggest pile of rubbish), to a greenfield 32" fast cut (great little mower, much faster than the mtd and cuts the lawn real nice), and now a 42" toro zero turn.
Mowing time has nearly halved. (2.8 acres) we bought new as we didn't want the headaches we had with the last 2 mowers trying to start them.
Overall I find it great to use once you are used to it, easier to get in and out off, and it starts first go:D

Do any of them have a rifle rack and camera box?
:whistling::p

just to be silly.. Why not get a towdeck and haul it behind the landy?

Yes thought about that as well but again its manoeuvrability we can only get the car so far around the trees and the landy will not go into the corners of the paddock we all know what the turning circles are like:eek::D

we also thought about a quad pulling one but this blew the price out.

Would prefer a deck because I will have post and rail and currently when moving because the deck sticks out either side we can mow in and out next to the rail and actually cut a substantial amount of grass under the fence between posts I'm hoping we can do the same with a zero.
