Cool, someone else is thinking about a Grasshopper mower! But I will get to me later.
As for the 220/52 my first concern is that it might be a dog with that 20hp Kohler. If it were me I would atleast consider the 225/52 or 225/61. I say that because the diference you pay for more power hurts at the purchase, but only feels like pocket change once you are in the field. I bet while on the 220 you will say "I could really use tha extra 5hp sometimes, and for the money I should have got it."
Now if you are doing the 0% for 36 months, how much is that extra really going to effect the payment?
As for me, my wheels are turning about them because the local dealer called me up. He finally got that new 48" in that I was wanting to demo when I was shopping. But I gave up on him getting one for me to demo and went with the Yazoo/Kees.
Since buying the 48" I've been thinking about adding a 60" class mower. So when he went on to mention the 0% for 36 months (not available on 218 & 220 by the way) that got my wheels turning about the 61" Grasshopper M-1 even though I ordinarily avoid finacing like the plague. 0% is tempting me to go for it.
Anyways, I will be going by soon to get prices on the 225/61, 321D/61 and 428D/61. Any owner feedback on any of these?
