Who do you think has the best cut of the ZTRs out there?

I was told today that the ExMark has the best, but that Ferris is coming out with a new deck next year that will compete with them. What about Deere, Dixie, Scag, etc?

I have ran Exmark Ultra Cut deck and Scag Velocity Plus deck - Scag takes the cake. Both leave a good cut but Scags is slightly better, and the discharge on the Scag deck is just incredible.

Gravely Rapid XZ outfront.:clapping:


But I do think the Scags are built as good as the old Gravelys and do cut well.

This would have been a good poll question.I run Dc's and their cut depends on the grass type and length your cutting.

We tested several top machines side by side, in many types and lenth of grass, blades sharpe decks clean, same operators, and come to find there are alot of good machines out there, However 6 operaters from 3 different businesses have all agreed the 7 Iron john deere is indeed second to none when it comes to best cut, discharge and odd as it sounds it has a awesome amount of air comming out the deck which allows you to quickly blow off driveways and walks. Huge time saver.

Ask 10 people you get 10 diff answers lol.
My uncles Craftsman cuts better than his neighbors Sabre by JD........

I think the blade/grass combo has 90% to do with cut quality. I have seen lots of nice cut yards by many diff made mowers. My exmark cuts/stripes great in nice yards with sharp blades, howerver 35hr blades and tall weedy grass is a diff story same as most mowers ive run/seen.
