I now have a scag 36" W/B hydro, and like it very much. For me it would either be the Scag or an exmark.. Not saying the others that you listed aren't any good.. Most of the commercial ZTR's are good, Make sure dealer support is good as that makes a big difference..... Hope this helps....

I'll second the vote for the Dixie. I drove 65 miles to get mine.

I have the John Deere 757 excellent mower. I bought it new last year no problems, yet hasn't been to the dealer yet. John Deere dealers have the best service at least in my area they do.

Sorry...none of them floats my boat. Wrong colors. You need to look at red...as in Ferris, eXmark, and Toro.

I never hear anyone mention Yazoo ZTRs. They have a pretty good rep around here.

Absolutely not. Not for our slopes and hills of Tennessee. I had a new one last year and it was a piece of junk on slopes. If you dont believe me just ask another member here Lawntek. He has had the same problems of skidding down slopes.

I would say go with either Exmark or Scag.
