Good low price machine = Nothing.

You pay for what you get.

Check out Hustler or eXmark, they have some 60 in machines for under $7,000 around here.

I use all Bobcats and I love them. I just bought a Bobcat ZT225 with a 61inch deck. It has a 25-horse power Kohler engine. I’m not sure how its spelled, lol. The mower is built like a tank. It cuts superbly, and stripes well. I paid about $8200 for it. But they don’t have many after market attachments for them.

Here’s a link to an on line web store that sells them very inexpensive. I didn’t buy it from them because I need dealer support should something break. Nothing ever breaks.

What don't they have for them?

You have the same choices for attachments as most of the other brands made.

Vac
Aerator
JRCO stuff
Spreader
Etc....

I couldn’t get a bagging system for my Bobcat. I could always get the cage that hangs off the side, but I don’t like mine. It clogs just riding from the trailer to the lawn. I spend a lot of time taking off the catcher to pack the grass in farther. I just ordered grass-catching system through Protero. It has a bin that attaches to the rear of the mower, with a helper blower right off the deck. The Bobcat doesn’t have a striping kit available either. Of course im taking my dealers word for it.

I don’t need the beer can holder the Exmarks have haha. My right hand holds beer just fine after a long hard day.
:dizzy:

www.lawnvac.com and about 6 others, so there is a vac system incuding the one you said.

Striping kit you can make for it, but why?

Make a trailer hitch and you can pull a tow aerator, I did for mine when I had it.

JRCO makes an aerator, spreader, sprayer, tine dethatcher, and a few other things for it.

And the list goes on if you do some looking and asking..

So what can't you find for it again? However Bobcat and Bunton (the twin) both don't make any attachments for it, but they are there by other MFG's...

BTW for the thread, there is no such thing as a good cheap commercial mower.

60" ZTR rabnge is about $7500 to $15000 (for a diesel.)

I need the beer holder just cause I need both hands on the handles when I mow....

Look at the Cub Cadet Z-force if you are not a pro and just mow a couple of acres. Handels nice and comes with a 15Hp Kaw. Some come with the 18Hp Intek Briggs. Both will out last a home owners mower.

Great Dane's new z turns for 2003 are awesome.

Just saw one at my local dealer and he is giving it to me for a full test next week.

Very good pricing as well....$7,399 for a 61" 25 HP

It looks like the new Great Dane is good stuff!! (This coming from a Scag man)
