zero turn mowers EXPENSIVE

If it's comfort you're looking for AND a great cut.....

LOL

You can laugh, but trust me, after a full day of mowing in hot sun, a cab with AC would be incredible. It would be an amazing boost to health and safety of the operator in the short and long term.
I see a few coming out with cabs here and there, but Im surprised they are not an industry standard option for large frame zero turn mowers.
Really surprised Kubota doesnt have one. I would think they would lead the way in cab technology and advancements on their bigger zero turns

I thought hard about one of the F series cab mowers, but ultimately a cab would be a major hindrance for me cutting around trees. I spend a lot of time bobbing and weaving under trees!

I wished the ZD1511 was offered with a 84 Single Deck

I’ve mowed 15acres around my farm for 24yrs with a 84 & 110 Rear Finishing Mower.

This 72 Zero isn’t saving me any time but it cuts & trims way better plus saves 10gals of fuel per week compared to the 66hp JD tractor.

84” straight deck would be a scalper for sure.
I’m looking at keeping my ZD331 with 72” deck and getting a 100” WAM now.

Never had an issue with my 84" RFM scalping.

I think he was talking about an 84” zero turn

 

[Brown Dog]

My 84” single deck RFM didn’t scalp BUT I mow at 4” blade height.

Most people try to mow way too short with wide deck mowers imo.

Taller Grass here in the South will survive heat & dry conditions way better than grass cut so short.

What brand & model 100” are you wanting / looking at ?

There’s only a few realistic options I know of Deere and Toro. I can’t possibly buy a new one. There may be more, but I haven’t seen them yet.

I’d like to run the 96” ExMark
