Having a bit of trouble posting there buddy?:eek: :eek: :eek:

Can't help you with your question but just had to take a poke at ya for posting it 6 times.:D

Look into an exmark. good prices & If you take care of it, I'll take of you $$$$!

Im sorry about that I didnt mean to do it several times, forgive me!!!!!:dizzy:

I'd ask you to look at the Dixie Chopper. Awesome machines! Of course if you can live without the diesel, I'd say go with the twin engine 72". It will blow your mind. Very powerful machine, and very easy to operate. If I had larger acreage I would get one in a heart beat.

eXmark Lazer!!!!!!!!

They are also on this website if you have any questions for them.

Do a search and you'll find TONS of info on them here.

Check out the Hustler Super Z. Not available in diesel yet but I hear they are working on it.

[Cut 2 Please]

Check out the new Ferris 5000. It has a 31 hp Cat diesel. Also it has the 4 wheel independent suspension so you can make better use of the speed the mower is capible of. Suspension makes all the differance in the world. I bought the 3000 with just rear suspension and the speed increase I gained was about 2-3 mph faster than what I was able to run on a Scag TT on the same yard. The hill holding ability of this mower is unbelievable. The 5000 is rather pricey but when you factor in the Cat diesel and the full suspension you might find it is well worth it.
Demo as many as possible before you buy. All diesel mowers will be expensive and you will want to be happy with your choice after you spend that much money.

I JUST BOUGHT A SCAG TURF TIGER W/ A 27 H.P. LIQUID COOLEDKAWASAKI. THE MOWER HAS A 61" DECK. THEY HAVE A 72" GAS OR DIESLED POWERED MOWER. I TRIED THE 72" BUT FOUND IT UNFEASIBLE IN SMALL YARDS. GO TO SCAG.COM

I own a Toro, the Exmark is a "sister" company, identical chassis with significant differences in the deck only. If you come down to these two, I'll be happy to explain the differences between these two.

[Cut 2 Please]

You forgot to mention that the Toro has a Z stand and the 62" deck does not have baffles so it goes through Bahia better. Also the deck is lighter and the spindles are suppose to be better.

Z Stand = Pretty useless, would get in the way

Bahia = Dont have that grass here

Lighter deck = Weaker Deck

Better Spindles = No,...Different Spindles...Yes

:cool:
I am digging seeing all these opinions. It looks like exmark is always in the running in these opinions posted here.

I have driven a hustler and a deer so far this summer. Deer seems to have a better cut. but made of cheeper metal overall.

I always here to get either a kohler or kawaski motor too......


Have a good one,:cool:
