Buying Advice new here and looking for advice

[carnochanm]

I am a new member and looking to get some feedback on prices and product. I getting ready to purchase a 3030 with fel and wanted to know what I should expect to pay. I also may look into the ZD 28 with 72" cut and am curious about pricing that also. What is everyones opinion on these machines. I have 10 acres to take care of and am thinking about maybe doing a little buisness as well. Thanks for any input in advance.

carnochanm... I'll comment on the ZD since I have several hundred hours on a 21. The pros tell me the 72 inch pro deck is too big for every day load and unload operation on client to client locations. It a monster in weight but a cadillac on flat level pasture. Fast, smooth and in the league of a Scag ' 'Tiger'. I'm sure somebody will have something to say about that. But, I happen to know a service engineer in Suwanee, GA that helped develop features on the ZD28 who was a district service manager with Scag at one time. Whats that tell you... Also check out the Orange Way page 10 user report and see what deck is on a 28. 'Buck' wouldn't have it any other way...
