    Hello, I just picked up a 1990 dixon ztr429 for $100 and there is a problem when trying to start. It makes a buzzing sound that comes from under the control panel when turning the key. I checked it out and it seems to be the starter relay, but this is all new to me. I wanted to know if anyone...

    I'm looking for advice on a ZTR front mount dethatcher. I've seen the 4 brands listed in the title, (D'ttach, Trac Vac, CMP, and JRCO) in addition to MiBar which seems to be out of business. I'd like to hear the pros and cons of each, especially from folks that have run more than one brand. I...

    I have a side hustle lawn care operation that I have been growing steadily. I have been running a Hustler 42" Raptor, which is their cheapest residential unit and want something that I know was built for commercial use. My goal is to keep this a side hustle, but be able to pack as many yards in...

    I hope I'm posting this in the right place. Please let me know if I should post it somewhere else. I have the option of buying a Husky Z560 or a JD Z735E for about the same price ($6800-6999). Will use it mainly to cut grass around the farm (25 acres - but will be mowing about 3-5 acres around...

    I'm considering buying a 72 inch ZTR Badboy for mowing a turf airstrip and surrounding RSA totalling 6.5 acres. I'm looking for any information regarding differences in features between the models. The nearest dealer has a "Rebel" model with 999cc Kawasaki available. What features on the...

    I;m in the market for a new zero turn. I am stuck between these two. Both seem to be good mowers and I have multiple dealerships of each near my house. I'm leaning towards the Gravely because of the Kawasaki engine vs the Toro engine on the Titan. The Gravely also has a longer warranty. Which is...

    In 2019 Ferris launched the isx800, it appears as if this is the new model to be replacing the is700. The biggest major difference I can see is that it utilizes what they call their "forefront suspension platform ". Its basically double wish bone truly independent front suspension. Ferris is...

    I'm starting to look into getting a zero turn and found what seems to be a good deal, but possibly too good. I don't have a big property but it's a bit complicated to mow and I think a zero turn would really cut down my time, but I don't have room for goth a ZT and a tractor so I'd like...

    Hello, I've been shopping and researching to buy a commercial grade mower. I'm not a lawn service but I do lots of grass cuts during the summer. As far as purchasing a new one I would need to stay in the medium level price range. Have been eye balling the Husqvarna Z-500 series with Yamaha...

    I'm currently looking at 2019 scag and bad boy ztr's. I have mowed with the bad boy rogue 61" 999cc with the Kawasaki fx1000v and loved it. I know bad boys have not been comparable in previous years but also know that (new to this year) they now offer a similar sloped deck like the velocity plus...

    Has anyone installed a universal suspension seat on a ZTR? If so, how did it turn out? Did it help your bumps a lot - was it worth the $200? Did it jack the seat height up too much? Any other issues? I'm looking at one on eBay - same one is on Amazon: https://www.ebay.com/itm/260541319562

    I'm looking for a used commercial ZTR for a backup mower. I ran across a 60" Lazer Z as well as a Series E Pioneer 48" deck. I'm wondering if the 48" deck could be installed on a Lazer Z with a minimum amount of retrofit work so that I could have the flexibility of 60 or 48". Does anyone know...

    Cut about 95% residential. Only use the hustler ztr for 3 lawns. 2 are flat, one is 2 acres on a huge hill. No problems with stock tires on the 2 flat ones, but tend to slide more than I'd like on the larger one. Any good tires that give better traction without digging into the yard too much?
