I'd shop the prices a bit, seem a little high. as for tires, I'd go with high ply. remember time is money and you don't have time to deal with flats. you'd be amazed at what a tire can find in a yard.

the price was a guesstamation. LOL im going to go to the dealer sometime this week to see about it.

Thats a big price tag for what it is. You can get a 60" diesel Kubota ZD326S for $10,300. Kubota owns the diesel ZTR market, and has for a long time. Have you looked at them?

 

[John Deere 3520]

Ive never really looked at kubota not a huge fan of them really and i think your paying a little more for that yellow paint under the hood.

Im looking at the chevron AT101 its a 4ply Id like to find a 6ply but cant seem to find one.

Confused? Explain? Not sure how you could say your paying more when its one of the cheapest diesel ZTR's available. Whats Yellow?

I'll be the first to tell you, any amount of brand loyalty to equipment is totally stupid. You can have one vender that makes a few great products, but an equal amount of terrible ones. Do your homework. We sell Ferris machines that use the same CAT engine thats in the Scag your looking at, its not a CAT... it know it says it, but its a Perkins engine. I'd take a Yanmar or Kubota over it anyday.

*IE 60 dollars an hour.
So why would you want to mow it in half the time and only collect 30 bucks?

Maybe he likes doing an HONEST job for people.

I know its a perkins diesel, cat bought them a while back so it is a cat... and like I said you pay for the yellow paint the kubota diesel that they have has a little less HP and alot less torque and its a grand cheaper from what ive read on the internet.. I will have to look at ferris

 

[John Deere 3520]

the ferris seems ok the shocks on it look nice to have,but at a $18,000 price tag. and you only get one more lb ft of torque from the ferris with the CAT i just dont think so.
