In 2007 I bought a 50" Troybuilt ZT from Lowes. priced at $2600 end of season and a safety switch that they replaced, I was out the door for $1975.
Just replaced the spindles and blades this year and some sheet metal on the deck to the tune of about $500.00. Other than tires, a belt and occasional batteries and oil changes this is the only money have spent on this mower over the 14 years I have had it.
We mow about 2 acres each week over the mowing season.
I also have a tractor/shredder that I use for mowing for others.
I feel that for me, the ZT was an excellent investment that will keep paying dividends.
