I've got an opportunity to purchase a new Exmark (any model) at a good price for maintaining our farm Bed and Breakfast. We've been using an older JD216 with 48" deck which has been nothing but trouble. I was very impressed with trying the full size LazerZ with 60" deck. But the slopes I was able to try it on were not quite as steep as on our property (5 acres of lawn, pasture, and trails). It felt extremely stable on the slopes I did try it on. I'm just wondering if the HP having a narrower wheelbase will do as well on the slopes. Is there a significant difference in performance between the two other than the smaller 52" deck? And will both do well with the uneven ground in our llama pastures?
I appreciate any advice. We're quite a ways out in the country and a long way from dealers of this type equipment (other than John Deere of course).
