Got a new 72" Chopper today with 25 hp kohler. Mowed 5 acres this afternoon. This was the first time I have ever used a ztr, and happy is an understatement. WOW, one and one-half hours total time, you'all said I right. Very little weedeating left and no nicks,cuts, or brused trees, just beautiful grass. Used to take me 3.5-4 hrs with 60" JD. As in a previous post I was really concerned about adequate power with a 72" deck and 25hp Kohler. The advice given by Homer, Eric KLM, Big Ron, Kent Lawns,Dixie 1 and others was extremely helpful. This engine and deck combo is great and has plenty of power, never labored. DC should be commended for producing such a high quality and easy operating piece of equipment. If it proves to be as durable as it appears-"I got a steal"-. I'll never have a wheel again.
PS. All the neighbors have been to see and try. It's truely a "baaad" looking machine. kent
