    Thanks Dave, I see a lot of Toros, just not sure about there durability. Are they commercial grade?

    I was actually looking for a Toro when I found my Hustler Z

    Going on three years now with my Toro Titan MX6000 with Kohler 25hp and a 60" welded deck and I love it. It's not a commercial grade but I believe what they referred to as professional series which is a step up from a homeowners model. I have 6.5 acres of yard to mow. 4 acres used to be farm ground and then pasture for cattle. It's rough in many places so on the zero turn you can get bounced around quite a bit if you get going to fast. That would be my only negative. For any zero turn I'd imagine.

    About 2.5 hours, but I grew up (giggle giggle) in Pittsburgh, so I can use it as an excuse to take my dad out to lunch.

    Another vote for used commercial mower. I bought an Exmark 48” with 19 hp Kawasaki about 4 years ago 50 hours per year now has 1200 hours on the clock, I expect this to last me a very long time. I can cut my yard 30 minutes faster with this mower than the 54” hustler we run at the office.
