We bought a low end Dixie Chopper 48" mower zero-turn mower this spring and are very please with it. It has plenty of power and does a nice job cutting. No suspension and is a bit bouncy on the rough ground we call a lawn at the farm. It is really great for mowing around trees and bushes.

You will find that you have to actively steer at all times where as with a riding lawnmower, you can use a knee to lock the sterring wheel on long straight runs.
