which has a more comfortable ride?

Yep, it depends on your specific conditions, how wet the grass/ground are and how fast you want to go. I'm impressed with the ride, handling and build quality of my new Cub Z-Force 44 fab for it's price ($3700+), but it's not going to ride like a Ferris or the likes with front suspension. I'm still learnin' ZTR ops, but mine does ok going along inclines. You just feather the downhill lap bar a bit more than the uphill one. My Z-Force bounces around my rough areas exactly like my 2544 did.

A ZTR will mow faster and cleaner at speed. I think the tractor would ride better and be better on hills.

I second Ferris ZTR. They are the only one with independent suspension, which will help with the rough terrian. :thumbsup: I have one and you wont find a better ride!
