Best cut quality ZTR

[Penncare]

If you keep them maintained you can get a beautiful cut from most of the major brands. I even see some very nice yards that are cut with those cookie cutter cub cadet riders for the masses. It really is difficult to say that any of the major brands are dramatically better overall in every situation. We all forget that the equipment does not make a beautiful lawn. Almost any mower leaves a nice cut on a great lawn (level, weed free, irrigated, quality turf grass type). The best equipment is that which you like, can make a profit with, and which provides the results your clients desire. In some areas image is everything and the equipment is for the client, not the user to see and in others they would not care if you used a Yard Man with no hood. At this point all the major brands make a great commercial mower. I love the cut of a Walker on a great flat lawn; however, we can't justify them for the few like that we have so we use commercial 21s with baggers and the customers seem very pleased.

Very true, Which commercial 21 do you use?

Out of the 3 Zero's I have I would say the Ex Mark 52 has the best cut with the Ultracut deck and prob the most forgiving too. Florida Grass.

For the general kentucky blue grass up here in the north there are two mower brands that stick out as long as you get a higher hp engine to power a 60" cut, scag, and deere.

There is no "BEST" there is only the one that suits you, and YES TORO and EXMARK are the same company. Get the one that YOU like. They all cut the same.

[JMK Lawn Service]

I think my JD cuts pretty well.
CPL is right.
TORO and EXMARK are the same mower, but they have different decks. Different cut...

[Penncare]
