First of all, NEVER buy a lawn mower from Lowes because when it breaks you will be without that mower for 6 - 8 weeks. Lowes is horrible for fixing mowing equiptment fast.
Go to a local dealer in your area. Like a farm and home store. Yazoo/Kees makes an awesome homeowner mower for about 3200. Just my advice but try to buy from a lawn mower shop not from a chain.

But, do you see what I'm saying? I am Joe Blow residential owner. I don't have to have the commercial version. If I pay a little more for a better quality residential ZTR at a local small dealer, I don't get more, I get a lot less. I get -8" on the cut and -5hp. I am looking for an answer to "How is that worth it?" Regarding Lowes, I would have a 4 year at home warranty. The warranty requires a replacement if they take it for service. I bought a Scotts (by John Deere) in 1998 from Home Depot with a Kohler 17 hp and it's been fine, not one problem.

Thanks, ATM

 

You Should Check Out Home Depot Also.toro And Husky Also Make Ztr Models Designed For The Homeowner.if Your In Jax.,fla.try Home Depot At Regency Location.theres A Lowes Across The Street.look At Both Places Before You Buy.

 

Home Depot has a smaller, less powerful Toro (think it is a 17 hp with a 42") for the same amount for the larger, more powerful Cub Cadet. I'm finding it hard not to buy this Cub Cadet.

I'm sure that Cub would be an excellent choice for you considering the size of your yard. That machine was made for people like you. Before you buy it at Lowe's you could probibly go to your local Cub dealer and buy it at about the same price as Lowe's is selling it for so that way you would have dealer support if the machine went down. You can go to www.cubcadet.com and do a search and find a dealer in your area. If there's no dealer in your area then don't hesitate to go to Lowe's and buy one. Hope that helps.

 

It does help. You are telling me what I want to hear. Pay less, get more for what I'm gonna use it for. I test drove it. I wish it were a bit faster, but the only way is for a commercial. I want it now, grass is prime for cutting and I've contacted two dealers for used comm'l mowers to no avail. Thanks.

You mentioned that you have a Scotts Lawn tractor that has been fine so I'm curious why are you looking to replace your existing tractor? Is it mainly a matter of the ZTR will reduce the time?

I've never tried a ZTR tractor but one thing I've read is that they can be not good on hills. In fact I've seen ads for roll bars for certain models. Of course you may not have hills on your lot and you test drove it anyways.

 

No hills. I am definetely without a doubt gonna get a ZTR, however I started this new tread on Ariens brand of ZTR's. It really performed much better than the Cub Cadet.

Well, I'm gonna push the Cub. I bought the Z-Force Cub last year with a 44"cut and the Briggs 20 horse motor. I bought it for myself, but ending up cutting about 5 neighbors yards every week last year. The mower performed flawlessly, cut well, I couldn't be happier with it. I went to the local cub dealer to talk to them about the purchase, they acted like I was a nobody and basicly blew me off. But that was alright, I seen an ad for the same mower at Tractor Supply for the same price, except with one year no payments and zero interest, and they were super helpful. You do what you think is best your for situation, I did an I'm extremely happy.

 

You also have a welded frame verses a stamped frame that I was looking at. I would like to try one out, but there is no dealers except for Lowes and Tractor Supply and they don't have it. Good to hear something positive about the cub.

ERROR-ERROR-ERROR...
We do warranty work for a Lowes store so that statement is not 100% ture. 6 to 8 weeks is a long time but we have most units back at the store in a week or less. We have people bring in there Lowes mower themself and we fix it and send the bill to Lowes a lot of the time beccause they wanted it back a little sooner. The only reason you are going to have to wait 6 to 8 weeks for a Lowes repair is because so fool let let sit in the back lot that long before calling for a pick on on the machine. If you have a Lowes machine and you want a quicker turn around time ask them who does there warranty work at take it and all your paper work to the shop instead of the store. Now on the down side you could get stuck with a slow repair shop and then that is not Lowes fault.
