</font><font color="blue" class="small">( My local dealer today quoted me $8950+ tax (with mulching kit AND grass catcher) !!!
Is this thing really worth it ? Can it really turn as close as a zero turn mower? I was going to buy a zero turn but you can't hook attachments to them and the dealer says the GR is the only way to go. Any advice would be appreciated. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif )</font>
I don't know what brand of ZT mowers your dealer sells besides Kubota, but implements like you listed and small hitches are available in several lines of ZT's. In fact, I'd say the GR2100 is a little light in the area of available attachments compared to some ZT's. As one example, Grasshopper brand offers a huge line of attachments.
The GR2100 excels on a property with big hills or rough turf. By all means test drive it, but I suggest going to talk with another dealer to get a better idea of the handling and capabilities of ZT mowers. At the very least, it's a good bargaining move to tell your dealer you have other shops to visit before you buy /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
