STIHL Zero-Turn

Now if I can only get my wife out of the seat...

What good could possibly come from taking away what little pleasure she gets ?

The "good" is he can get pleasure from using his Zero Turn. And who is to say his wife only gets "little" pleasure in life?

We bought a Bad Boy Rogue mower 2 years ago, our lawn is huge and grows like a politician seeking power.
Its been trouble free so far, but it drinks fuel like a politician at a reelection party.
I like the fact that its made here in the states

I will never own any zero turn mower that doesn't have an "out front" deck that flips up for easy access.

That could be interpreted as a very sleazy pickup line.

In my younger days that may have cross my mind but in my older days it's "Bragging Rights".

Mine has a built in jack system that you can jack the entire front of the mower in the air for easier access that the deck lift ones. I just pull my 3 in the door of the shop and lift the front with the electric chain hoist.

I still prefer the deck out front for maneuverability.

Has anyone seen or bought new of these? I did not know STIHL was now making zero-turns. I wonder how good the suspension is? Only 11,849. LOL

I just bought a Stihl zero turn RZ152 for $5600. It not the high end model you’re talking about. So far my impression is favorable. I love the 4 wheel suspension and the serviceability of the machine and the cutting performance is good also. I also like the fact that the local Stihl dealer has facilities to service the machine and carries parts.

I wonder if these will be a flash in pan. Just that who considers a manufacturer of mostly hand held products to be a source for a rider?

They have a strong national dealer network with repair facilities. I saw no risk in purchasing one.

Stihl contracted Briggs & Stratton to build them. Not Ferris.
