I'm in the market for a new zero turn this coming year and I have it narrowed down between a Hustler and Kubota dealers based on how I've been treated so far. I have an excellent relationship with my Kubota dealer and the Hustler guys are small mom and pop place who give me the warm fuzzies. Right now I'm looking at the Fastrac on the Hustler end, and the new Kubota Z400 series. Important to me in this order
1) Comfort, I have a rough yard and my current mower gives me back pains.
2) Ability to handle bahia grass and rougher conditions, tons of bahia and semi finished areas around my estate. Mini orchard and around the sawmill.
3) Reliability, yep this got pushed to third
I hate Bahia and I know cutting it often will help but I just can't mow twice a week during the peak season and that crap will grow a foot in 5 days easy. We don't care much about a manicured lawn we drive tje truck and tractor across the front yard all winter moving firewood to the porch.
