Every spring I toy with the idea of a zero turn. I've been driving a Cub Cadet lawn tractor of some sort for 40 yrs. Ive got trees and junk on a 1 acre yard plus my folks next door. All I do is turn and back up (and the weakest point on a cadet is the steering box). I want a ZT. which one? from what I see, all the entry level, say, 3,500$ and lower are the same. Just different colors and probably come from MTD. I DONT need 60"" or 72"! My current 782D is 50" and that's plenty. Width is not my need, but maneuvering is. A 48" would be ideal. Neighbor has a SCAG but $7,000 is a little over the top. Please don't recommend a diesel mega awesome pro model of something. Obviously a $10,000 unit is better than a $5,000 model. I'd be open to slightly used too. I was thinking in the $4,000 range. My biggest fear is the tiny front wheels and my bumpy yard. The cheaper ones are not true "hydrostats" are they? Whats you guys ideas?
