Buying Advice New Holland ZTR Mower

[kgunckle]

I'm new to the forum and looking to buy a zero turn mower. Does anyone have experience with New Holland ZTR's ?

No experience with these machines - most commercial users go with Scag, Exmark, Hustler, Ferris, John Deere, then is Dixie Chopper, BadBoy, Simplicity, Toro, Huskquvarna and so on.

If I were spending the $4-8K for a new ZTR I would look in your area what most of the commercial guys use - you cant go wrong usually with the bigger name brands - the concern would be for resale value of the lesser known brands.

Also does NH make these or are they made for NH buy another co?

They are certainly re-badged units. I don't know about the 4000 series (residential), but the 5000 series visually resemble Ariens Pro Zoom/Gravely Pro-Ride 200 which, I believe are made by Everride (acquired by Ariens a few years ago), or at least using Everride designs.

Never even seen one. I would stay away. Stick to the names Carl listed, won't have any problems with any of those.
