Need advice on first riding mower
Hey all,
Just bought a property that’s about a full acre including the house. Looking to buy a riding mower of some type but would like some guidance. Don’t really want to buy from a box store but also want to make sure I get a fabricated deck and a mower that I can do the “common” maintenance on myself.
As of now I’m looking at the following:
2026 Gravely ZT 42 - 18hp Kawasaki FR600V, w/42" Fabricated Deck - local dealer sale
CubCadet Ultima Z2 42 OR 50. Both with Kawasaki engines and fabricated decks. Both of these are at Home Depot (would rather purchase from a dealer for service reasons, but the prices are attractive and they seem to have great ratings)
Looked into John Deere but it seems you can only get a fabricated deck if you get a higher end model
Obviously I’m open to any and all suggestions
Thanks in advance!
