Zero turn mower recommendations.
I am looking to buy a new zero turn mower. I mow about 4 acres, mostly straight and not around very many trees. Only reason I'm going with a zero turn, because they mow so much faster. Looking to spend less than $5000. What's the best out there?

5G won't buy you much in terms of ZTR. Bad Boys/ Hustler are cheapest on the market. I'd get the biggest used one 5G will get you.

What do you think about the Kubota? They have a model for about $5500.

Spend an extra 1500 and get a better quality mower. You won't regret that.

Which one would you recommend for $1500 more?

You can get in a decent John Deere for 6500. My personal mower is a bad boy. I'm not thrilled with how it handles side hills but it's been great for 2 mowing seasons. I have a friend who does custom mowing who swears by commercial grade grasshopper mowers.
I'd just personally avoid the mowers from the box stores. Some family members have them and they don't hold up as well...a John Deere from lowes isn't a John Deere. |

It's not how fast you mow. It's how well you mow fast.

You'll love the change for that size yard.
I used a couple of grasshoppers and they were both great, but they were in the $8-10k range. I don't know if they have a model near your price point of not.

Call the factory direct and ask about demo models.
