Hi guys,

This season i started my own lawn service(keep in mind im 15 years old) i did this to make a few extra dollars. So i got one customer who wanted me to mown there lawn. Perfect. I do this with my Craftsman Lt2000. Now i want to expand to 3/4 customers. But that is not gonna work with my current mower. So i have been looking around and found 2 mowers.

The Husqvarna rz4619
RZ4619 - Zero turn mowers

and the toro time cutter Z
Built for the Pro in You - Toro TimeCutter Z4200 Zero Turn Lawn Mowers - Riding Lawn Mower

But i have no idea which one i should get. I really like the husqvarna because it has 46 inch deck which is just a little bit bigger then my current mower.

Ohh, and the lawns i mow are 1-2 acres.

I hope you guys can provide me with some answers.

Thanks.

hey, im 15 too! :D :welcome: to TBN! I watched a comparison video between Deere, Toro, and Cubcadet and Deere has the better mower by far. The deere is a little more expensive but its worth a look.

I too have looked at the Husqvarna ZTRs but i dont have any experience with one to give an opinion.

I can see why john deere would be better, but the husqvarna has a 46 inch deck, which is just a little bit bigger, and i think that is gonna help a lot with mowing time and such.


Btw do you mow lawns for your neighbors too?

I did at one time but now i brush hog for them instead. I kept breaking my L118 so i decided brush hogging would be a little more cost efficient. the 46" deck will help a little. how wide it the rear wheel base? I always run my left tire in the right track which cancels out the extra width of the deck when mowing in wide open areas.
