MTD Pro Z. Anyone seen it?

[Daren]

Went by Northern tool today on the way back from Lesco. Raining very hard so I couldnt get a good look at it, but they have a Z mower MTD Pro. Anyone know anything about it. It looked pretty good from where I was. Just wondering if anyone had any input. Dont know how much it is.

Daren,

You got to demo the mower. Ask the salesman can you take it on a spin. I think MTD makes Cub Cadet. Cub Cadet has a new line of mowers out. They LOOK ok. That's how far I got with them I never used one, I don't have a beef against the company.

But try them out for yourself. Price wise; they are properly up their with the rest of the big guys. starting around 5 grand and up.

im pretty sure that the lesco viper, the cub cadet tank, and the MTD Z are all the same machines. from what ive heard, they are junk. supposedly lesco is starting to build there own Z and it has been redesigned, but i havent seen a picture of it yet.

Here is a thread on Viper that pretty much sums up the MTD Pro, Viper, and Cub Cadet. http://www.lawnsite.com/showthread.php?threadid=5400

Here is another one on all the Vipers

At least you could get parts for them at 3 different dealers. Just have a spray can of paint to match your color. ;)
