Hi everyone. I am also a carry over from My TractorForum. Thanks for the heads up e-mail. On THAT site I have an MTD Yardman 999 Garden Tractor. I started out mowing 4 acres with it, but eventually moved up to an Ariens 1640 ZTR. I still use the MTD for "tractor duties", but IMHO, mowing, at least large areas, is best done on a machine dedicated to the task. I suggested adding a ZTR forum to the "tractor" site, but it didn't get much play. Understandable, I guess since that site focuses more on ground engaging activities. But this site has "mower" in the title, so I'm going to ask the question once more. If you are mowing more than half an acre and you've never tried a ZTR, call your dealer and set up a demo ride. Most good dealers will bring one (or more) ZTRs to your property and let you see for yourself how much better they are. The blade rotation speed on a ZTR is much faster than a tractor mower. The ground speed is generally tempered more by the bounce than by the cut quality. (at least for me)
So how about it? Can we dedicate some space for that "other" mower?
