i've been seeing a lot of posts on various forums about zero turn mowers, my biggest question is why in the world would you want one? ibe been mowing my lawn [ and i use the term loosly here as in its sort of green and i cut it] for almost a half a century ive used everything from a push type reel mower grandpa insisted on having to, a ford tractor with a brush hog, including a trailer load of riding mowers in various sizes from 8 hp to 18 hp, why would you want to buy a zero turn that costs as much as i paid for my mostrecent used pickup instead of a rider that cost a grand and you throw in out behind the barn every 5 years?
