a BX1500 would be the next matchup. The Kioti would win with the price. My bro-in-law got an LS. He's thinking was, a riding mower may last 5 years if he's lucky, in a decade he would of spent enough for his LS.
Oddly, there is such a SPIKE-DEMAND for SCUT and CUT machines like never before. For the past 20 years the demand has not let up.
Prices are different in Michigan. SCUT's are in the $15k range and a Husqvarna rider is about $2k.
My YTH24K48 was less than $1800 in 2012 and I just sold it for $1k to a buddy. He loves it. Maybe it's because I only have about 2 acres of grass to cut on flat land. My buddy only has 2 acres of flat land too.
BTW, I was "hot" to get a BX with FEL, MMM, snow blower, and BH when I moved here in 2012. Figured it would be the perfect compromise. One of the locals talked me out of it. So glad he did.
I have a lot more invested but I am not making do by compromising, and the stuff will last my lifetime.
