New Kubota zero turn

[fastback88]

Im looking at buying a new Kubota zx724 52" deck with the Kawasaki motor Im just wondering if it is worth the 1k more to get the fuel injected engine?
Also any other mowers recommended in the 9k range? I have run Toro but do not care for the dealer also just sold my 2017 Ferris 2100z with the briggs engine loved it but it gave off a loud pulsing vibration in the headphones and drove me nuts.

I don't believe I would pay extra for a fuel injected engine in a mower, simple is better. My carbureted Kawasaki in my Hustler has served me well for 15 years. I am accustomed to working on carburetors, a fuel injection system uses an engine management computer which would cost a lot if it were to fail.
Recommendations: I can vouch for Hustler Super Z with 52" deck, but don't know if it would meet your $9,000 budget. Mine was $6,500 due to being a demo unit (with full warranty).
