It's wild that residential mowers are the cost of my X One when it was new, just a few short years later.

Mike Morgan just bought a Cub Cadet Pro Z 900 and likes it:

I'm sure the ProZ is really nice, but I already struggled with the price tag of the ZTXS4 :). Then again I just retired, so still lacking certainty that the money saved up will last until my end!

Rhino, one question for you -- I assume yes, but did you try adjusting the tension spring on the seat on the ZTXS6? It's only got 1" of travel so I can understand it doesn't work miracles, but I've definitely found I need to "dial it in" a bit. Same on my tractor.
No doubt the Pro Z 960 is pricey. This is the commercial mower with the 38HP EFI Kawasaki engine. It was on sale so about 20% off listed retail. I did struggle with the decision. If I live and mow 15 years the right decision. If I don't somebody will inherit a nice mower!

The seat on the ZTX6 was set correctly. Good question. It bounced without bottoming out. It just wasn't a soft enough ride for my hilly and bumpy Kentucky property and I knew I would not be happy.

I didn't realize until just now that the Pro Z 960 has an AIR RIDE seat.

Nice!
