Simplicity ZTRs?

[twodogs]

I am considering adding a Simplicity ZT to the garage. I am looking at the Champion with the 52" deck, and the ZT4000. The 4000 is a few dollars more, but both seem to be well built.

Is there anyone out there with experience with these machines?

The 4000 is a more durable machine than the champion. I'd go w/ that.
