Difference in price in zero turn mowers in Lowes and those on the JD website?

[andrewj]

Just cruised through lowes and saw zero turns for around 2,500. But when you go the configurator you are suddenly looking at the 12,000 range! How can a zero turn have ten thousand dollars difference? And don't tell me deck thickness!!!!

Just to get started the hydro's used. Some I put at about 1,000 hours life and some I put at 10,000 hours. Engines and the frames and a whole lot more! Welded decks vs the stamped steel, It's more money for a comparable stamped deck the welded. If you don't have sandy soils you might find the stamped deck to work better.

Different series of mowers. Lowes has the lower-end Z2 and 400 series. You're seeing the Z900's which are the bigger commerecial mowers.
There is also a Z700 series, mid range.
