Now that i'll have a thicker lawn this year after overseeding last fall and had sprinklers installed, i decided to upgrade to a 42" zero turn. Took it on its maiden voyage yesterday. Holy crap it's gonna save me so much time.
what kind did you get? i'm still on the robot fence, but my yard is too big. I have an old ass John Deere rider that probably should have died like 5 years ago, but it keeps starting every year so I roll with it. I'd love a 42" zero turn. The other thing is how much bigger they are and my current rider barely fits in my garage with the cars.
I ended up getting a Cub Cadet ZT1 42" from a local dealer. I was between that and a Toro timecutter. My lot is .6 acre. Probably only .4 grass. It was definitely a time decision for me. It was taking me a little under 2 hours, with a good percentage weeds. With a better stand, it is going to take 2 hrs +.
Only problem is my backyard is rough AF. Going to have to decide this fall how to best tackle that.
