If he decides to go with a zero turn lawn mower, look at the Bad Boy or something with an electric or hydraulic deck lift. Most ZTRs require a right foot to raise the deck, with the exception of Bobcat, which has a left-hand foot assist.
For the cost of an ASV and the attachments, you could get a tractor, ZTR, and a few attachments and accessories and still have a few $K in your pocket. Skid steers are amazing tools, but most landowners don't really have enough of an application for them. |
I don't take mine to Tazewell for service. I do my own engine oil changes and lube jobs. I keep things tight with a wrench. I do my own air in the tires, too!
They are very easy to work on. If you have a competent hydraulic shop in your home town, they can help with anything that you cannot handle. Same thing goes for the engines.
