Country Clipper Zeton pricing?

[Dupontcar]

Can any Country Clipper Zeton owners post an approx. price you paid for this mower. Seems to have very positive feedback on this site. I have a local dealer(small part time dealer) who sells these and have not had luck the last few days catching up with him. Comparing ZTR's to see what is the best for the $.
Also, are these mower decks shaft driven, and do they offer a diseal? Thank you for any input.

The price was $8495.00 , no , no.

You might also check out the introductory pricing on their new Charger (Zeton components on JAZee frame). The 25hp/60" is just under $6400.

How is the Charger model diff. from the Zeton? Not as heavy duty of a frame? Any other major differences you know of? Do you own either model and use regularly? Thanks for the input.

Just got it (23/52 Charger) this week. As far as I know, the components are the same (other than the frame). The Charger also doesn't have any of the Zeton accessories available, other than mulching and light kits. The 24x12 tires and pivoting axle are nice on rough terrain.
