See guys that's what I like about the Deere look at the turning radius and it can pack a 62" deck too like a bigger ZD. I know the ZDs are not good on a slope and can be disastrous for the Hydrostrat transmission if you mow continuously in one direction on a slope greater than 6%. I do own several hundred feet of road footage at an average 6% slope the X749 could handle straight up and down where a ZD would flip. I don't like to string trim or use a rope on a push mower anymore because its too hard on the arms at my age. I just think if I got the Deere it would last me where the Kubota hydrostat would give out in 4 to 5 seasons here in Alabama where you can heard the grass growing and we are getting rain out he gazoo right now. It will grow 1" per day I kid you not in this rich fertile ground down here. May just have to put cows back out there if the price of diesel keeps climbing. Where's that going to end?
