I see a lot of comparisons of ExMark and Scag with a few Toros and an occasional Gravely tossed in. I will purchase a hydro this fall and would like input in two areas.....

You may want to ck out the Hustler walk behind. It has motorcycle type controls and is very easy to use. Also why not consider a rider? Not much more money and it sure beats walking not to mention increasing your production.Comment

Personally I find the Z-Riders to be the most productive if they work for the job at task. Some lawns just aren't meant to be cut with a Z-Rider. I have a Toro and would buy another Toro if I were in the market. My WB is a Bobcat, which had to have the spindle replaced after 2 months due to a factory defect. Other than that, the WB has been fine. It is not hydro though, however I don't feel the need to have a hydro WB. If spending the money on a hydro WB, I would spend the little extra on the Z-Rider, much more productive. As far as brands go...I had an Exmark for my first WB and the thing is still running after 10 years. My advice, you can't go arong with ExMark, Toro (which owns ExMark, Bobcat, or Scag. [}

Hum, Me thinks me knows the little Grasshopper.
He's right about the equipment specs. However, one major note, the Z's suck on hills. However, the Toro is the most agile of them all that I have used. So if you are doing hilly areas, walk behinds are the way to go. If using a Z, straight up and down is the only way. I have ripped up some lawns on hills trying to save a crash, and I have pinned the damned thing a few times. But I loves me Z.
Best of luck my friend.Comment
