Good Morning,
Having taken a look at the yard, after weeks of rain, I have a bit of catching up to do.
Given the unexpected horse fencing and other obstacles that have surfaced on the yard since I bought the Kubota BX23S and Land Pride rotary cutter mower, there is now no practical way to maintain the mowing, radiuses are too tight etc.
I need a ride-on mower (open deck, or pedestal style steering) that is easy for me to climb on / off.
I am now giving some serious thought on a used Cub Cadet RZT-S 50 zero turn. It is at the local agri repair place, and personally owned by the business owner. I believe that it is a 2016 model, 23 hp, with 300 hrs approx, 50 inch 3 blade mower deck, no taxes (personal sale). I saw it yesterday (while looking for other types), and I think it can work. He is willing to customize any fabricating for me if needed. He is asking $3000 Cdn, and I think that is reasonable given that the new models are about $7500 - $8000.
My yard is NOT a golf course
My yard is not landscaped evenly - so the machine would get a workout
My intended budget was much less (for something completely different)
Is this model capable of uneven, rough spaces, tall grass etc - would love some advice. I am tired of not being able to get the job done, due to circumstances that I do not control.
cheers
cheers,
