If you slowed the ZT down to make it take the same amount of time it would ride perfectly smooth.

I do my best to avoid them.


Clocked a hardball sized one with my Husqy walk behind a couple of weeks back though. New blade and it's all set. I didn't even consider scrapping it even though it's 10 years old.

That goes against the primary reason for getting a ZT.... the old "cuts your mowing time in half" sales pitch.

I know. And they do cut your mowing time in half. But then apparently they’ll complain that it’s too rough.
