Viability and return on investment.
I am sure you are looking at this and wondering why would that be the tag line?
Well, I have 2 acres of land and with all of the trees, dips, angles & angulations. I am running a JD L 110 and pushing 4 1/2 hours of cutting. So I am looking at a ZTR mower, to hopefully cut my mowing time to less than 2 hours.
Now one of my fellow land owners down the hill has a new JD 235 and seems quite happy with it, impressed with the hills he can cut and time it saves. Here in Canada it runs 3500 with taxes, comes with a 2 yr warranty, 42 cut and has the basic
After looking at other models and wondering about what is out there.
~ JD dealer only wanted to sell me the unit Z 9xx about $10k+taxes = $11,300 and said this is all you will need for the rest of your life.
~ Home depot said get the same unit as the other guy and look at a 10 yr unit for less than 1/2 price, and buy a new unit in 10 yrs.
~ Kubota said look at the Z125EBR giving you a 54 cut, BG 24hp & better transmission t2200 for 6300$ for a 20 yr unit
So I guess I am looking for advice? Please forgive my grammar and spelling since English is my third spoken language.
Currently am 55yrs old and the wife is not interested in cutting the lawn, hoping to stay in the house for another 10-15 yrs.
So to the original question, I ask to all of you who have been there and or are going to be there?
Viability and return on investment! :dunno:
