Would a zero turn be faster than a B2601?

Yep, I was a ZT doubter for years. Mowing my 3-4 acre field with my little MF and a 6 ft RFM.
My ZT with 5 ft deck cut the time in half.

Me too. I eventually came around and I’m glad I did.

We like our 3pt mower. The reach under bushes, near the creek and some banks hard to do with other mowers. Also a smoother ride.

I've noticed that I much mow slower with the tractor than I do with a ZTR.

That is what i am thinking after all a Z400 is $6000 plus.

I think i save some time by not backing up at all so i am constantly going forward mowing grass.

I have a few trees and i can't go under them the rops catches even when down. I think a zero turn would have the same issue.

ZTR has a much lower ROPS. Possibly because it's lower ti the ground?

I cut my couple of hilly acres with my BX23 and a 54" MMM. It took a couple of hours and really ran up the hours on the machine over time. I got tired of R&Ring BH & FEL to cut grass.

A few years back, I bought a Z724 zero turn and I can cut my in an hour or less...This thing flies and it's thirsty and loud--Neighbor 1000 feet away says it sounds like Life Flight coming in.

Quick mowing and keep the hours off the BX...No regrets on the ZT.

It is advisable to wear sound attenuating muffs:

I prefer just the plain jane muffs, but some folks prefer the Blu Tooth types so they can listen to music

I always wear my worktunes with the ZT--Way too loud not to.

The Zero Turn is made to do one thing and that is mow grass. It isn’t good to me for much else. I like to drink beer when I mow the three acre I have care of but my zero turn won’t let me do that. The other thing is the ZT is fast! Nothing like beating the **** out of my back on those rough three arcs, while I can’t drink beer! If, you’re talking about getting the grass cut fast? Absolutely the ZT is my choice. It has one job to do and it does it really well. (My wife even like mowing with the ZT, And she won’t touch the tractor, go figure?) But I like other things from my equipment. Comfort, utility, able to pull a wagon, carry things around. A ZT cuts grass fast but at a cost. Wish someone would have told me. I expected to much form the ZT at first.

Thats just not true. A zero turn can run many attachments. They can plow or blow snow, dethatch, spray, pull a cart, run a blower or a vacuum.

Went into one of the box stores this afternoon. Standard lawn mowers that used to sell for $1199 were $1,999. Entry level ZTRs that used to sell for $2199 were $3099.

What's faster than a ZTR? Price increases.
