I have a Deere 54" zero turn, 25 hp Kawasaki. Basic machine, no extra heavy duty, no whistles or bells. About half the price of an xmark. I'm in my fifth year with it. I mow about 8 acres, much of which is semi-wooded (sticks, pine burrs and straw, roots, sweet gum balls---all hidden in a cloud of dust).

Point is, that little JD takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. I've only had to replace blades and a belt. I may be wrong, but I just don't see the necessity for a half-inch welded deck on a Humvee chassis.
Side note: I wonder if you folks are as amused as I am about the guys who just have to have a big zero turn mower when they only have a quarter acre lot. They never really get to open it up.
