All my neighbors have zero turns and mowing about 1.5-5 acres each so we have seen a lot of different brands of zero turns. I currently have a Dixie Chopper, but the consensus of the neighborhood is to go with a Kubota next time you buy.

skag,

I just bought a cub cadet ZT2 50� cut. 23 hp Kawasaki engine. Seemed the most mower for the money to me.

I have a Hustler and it is great.

Best cut ever laid down on my lawn was by a skag. Toro is close but the skag was just that good.

I currently have a Dixie Chopper and like it. Really going to look at Grass Hopper when the time comes.

5 acres, with 150 peach trees, and 50 post and live oaks.
The Gravely will run at 13 mph, it's been a great mower for 13 years, I'm tempted to try just replacing the 27 HP Kawasaki Engine

Go to Harbor Freight and get their 22hp vertical shaft engine ... it's made for just this type application and it's a bunch less expensive. Good motors.

They're Chicom knockoffs of Honda engines.

Slag or Kubota get my vote.

Have a gravely that has been great mowing 1.5-2 acres. I wish the rear tires were a little larger as it is a rough ride. Next time I will consider x mark or kubota.

This, Your old one lasted 13 years. What more could you ask for?

I run the Hustler HD with kawasawki engine... it mows my 1 acre just fine

Had one of the other brands before, bought a Skag Patriot and it mows better than the green and yellow one I had by far

Bad boy for me great mower😊
