Why WB's over ZTR's

[Hutch Lawns]

Bad mix. Switch to a fixed unit/swivel wheel sulky and you'll be much happier.

Got most of the major parts for a BullRider sulky if you're interested. Platform/wheels/hitch....I think.... $30.

Also have a Proslide (which I just received new gas springs/ 2 sets of platform springs in the mail today). Wear plate in good condition, unit overall in good condition. Make an offer if you're interested........

Thanks, actually this unit came with the Lesco castering type sulkey attached! Problem is that it's really not a heavy enough machine to pull it good. Spins the tires a lot, hard to maneuver.... Plus the castering sulkeys tend to make the machine very long and harder to turn when close to things (ie. I don't like running myself into fences...) I just happened to have the single wheel Velke in the shed so I slapped it on there to see if it handled better. It did. I'd rather have a 2 wheel though... reguardless, I'm not going to be using it much at all, so it's really not much of an issue I guess, lol.

What's the tread on the tires look like? Worn? Tire itself? Turf Master or Turf Saver or some other chinese tire?

Maybe your just too heavy!

Well... I don't even recall now... and it's in the shed! Yes, I PREFER Turf Masters over most any else. Iv'e had really good luck with them over the years... Acutally thinking of swaping out the... grrr, can't think of that brand either, brand that's on my Grasshopper with Turf Masters for next year. The ones that are on there really tear up turf BAD. (no they aren't chevron style).

I *think* what's on the Great Dane is simple Turf Savers, or something just like them. Machine only has maybe 100 hours, maybe less. It's an '07 model. Looks like new. Got it for $1,600.

I much prefer a zero turn ride on mower (happy everyone?)

Yep! And I run Dixons, hence I can use the term "ZTR". The rest of you must use some other backwords term like zrt, or ztm, or, that mower that goes round and round.

I see you agree with me !

[Hutch Lawns]

I see you agree with me !

I see you found me! lol! Yes, I used to use Dixon mowers exclusively, never knew till I found the forums that a "ZTR" was actually a copyrighted term by Dixon. I still call them all that though... Just to mess with you.

i'll stick with calling exmark, toro, dixie chipper, etc. ZTR's, walkbehinds, walkbehinds, and stand-on's, stand-on's.

i'll also stick with using my walkbehinds vs. ZTR's until i get properties with more open areas.

Come look at a few of my lawns since I got my 61" grasshopper... Hence the reason I ended up buying another 48" walker!
