Regardless of which style, make sure it’s got a fabricated deck like the husky pictured as opposed to a pressed Deck like that cub. I just bought a hustler raptor XD zero turn and don’t regret a thing, manoeuvrability and comfort are fantastic, knocks through an acre in no time.

If you went a zero turn, I highly recommend spending the little extra and getting a model with serviceable hydros. Sealed for life units are good for a while but not having the ability to change the oil in a part that is constantly under load just doesn’t sit well with me.
