That's awesome.

However, I have a legit question. I'm sure zero point turn mowers are more efficient and easier to use, no but don't they look goofy as hell? I liken it to a recumbent bike vs a normal bike. Sure it may be easier to do, but wouldn't you feel stupid using it? I know I shouldn't care what other people think, not when I got a new riding mower last year, I just couldn't bring myself to get a zpt mower.

Proceed with the down votes...

    I think that riding mowers look goofy. They’re like a toy tractor. You have a grown ass man riding a power wheels tractor!

    That’s on top of the fact they do a worse job in twice the time! One of these is made for drinking beer and one is for getting the job done.

    But that’s just my opinion.

    Yeah really can't have a beer on a zero turn, unless you're pulling up every 5v minutes for a mouthful.

    Just hook in get it done then have beers after

    Fellas are you trying to look cool on your mowers or am I doing it wrong?

    I went zero turn since I have other paddocks with trees etc and they're so much better for zipping around obstacles etc.

    There main downside of them is you can't have a tin in one hand while you mow the grass. But when you're cutting around trees and fences, the less piss you're consuming the better.

    They are if all you want is a larger lawnmower. I use a little JD 1023r as a lawnmower. But it also has to do things like mount a landscape rake to a 3 point hitch and even a 6' blade for road maintenance. And move things like small wagons and trailers. Some people put front end loaders and snowblowers on them too. Not something you can do with a zero turn.

    Yeah i really want a small tractor one day. The fork tine attachments for hay etc would be amazing.

    How's the used tractor market down there? You guys must have some 40 year old Ferguson 30/35 tractors around? I understand those things are eternal.
