Hustler made the first zero turn mower in 1961. They are at the top of the heap. They use slipper piston pumps. The same ones used in skid steers. Their pump to motor lines are steel (less heat retention) which is the killer of oil. All their decks are welded not stamped. They have removable dampners under the deck to adjust the suction. Next is Skag then Ferris and the rest fall under these. I just finished researching all of them. Two of them have suspension on the wheels and some have good suspension seats. Some have better seats than others. This is critical if you are going to stay on one longer than thirty minutes. Make sure whatever you buy has a pull from the top fuel tank with filter and an oil cooler. The more expensive ones have a fan cooled oil cooler which will double the life of the hydraulic components. For the money, the Bad Boy is probably the best buy for the cut, speed and strength of build. Some of them have a spoiler on the back which makes it look cool although it's worthless for helping cut the grass. Make sure that you actually go and try them before you buy. One other thing; the reason most use Kawasaki is there horse power rating. The Government has mandated a 10% tolerance on ratings but Kawasaki does not take advantage of this. If they say 30 HP then it's less than 5% rather than the 10% that is allocated as a tolerance. Most of them also offer diesel power but you can pay $12,000 for a 61" cut with that kind of power. Happy hunting!

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
