Thanks everyone for the replies,
I am going to go with the ZD, after some research I think in a couple of years I am going to switch the tractor to a B or L series for more power.
Im still scratching my head on the dethatcher/rock removal, I would love to get rid of the front rotary broom, I do more damage with it than good to the grass. I tried a landscape rake to pull the gravel out of the grass but it kind of fluffs it up but does not drag it out.
Hi All!
Thanks for the replies!
I ended up ordering the ZD and I got rid of the front sweeper/blade.
I timed the mow yesterday and it took 1 hour and 15 min, previously it was something around 2.25-2.30 hours.
My wife really likes to drive the ZD around, I think she might cut the grass sometimes.
Thanks Again!
