If your ground is relatively even you will be fine. Hopefully no four foot fence gates. :laughing: I mow my neighbors grass and it is not level or smooth. I am 'on' my 'elevation' pedal and getting better each time so I don't scalp. The larger the platform the less control you have. If you are mowing a flat or even surface, the 52in will do just as well and faster! Enjoy!!!There are a couple areas that I will have to raise the chute to go through but that's it.
95% of the ZTR's I see never drop their chutes. I've yet to put mine down. My neighbor did with his Dixon bought mid-season, then pulled it up and left it after mowing juicy grass the next spring. I almost put it down yesterday, mowing in hurricane force winds that preceded the front that came through. Almost. I only occasionally see one lowered when they are mowing near a parking lot full of targets...I mean cars.There are a couple areas that I will have to raise the chute to go through but that's it.
Those colors look so much better than the yellow used on the sister hustler mowers
