I bought a CubCadet ZT2 54 ( bigger more aggressive tires, Kawasaki 24hp best in class ) this mower cut great, fast and has power ! I pulled the coop across the field afyer building it in the driveway not realizing how super heavy it ended up being, dragged logs and felled trees also with little effort.... amazing machine and if you buy at the right time from the dealerships there are discounts, no interest financing.. got mine for a few hundered less and got an extra 2 years free waranty for a total of 5 instead of 3.... 2 years issue free so far, I bought extra filters to do maintenance myself so I gont have to drag it to the dealership and keep the log in the maintenance manual.
