ZT18440KH ($4,299) or ZT20500BV (4,899).

Both have separate hydro pumps and wheel motors as do all commercial units. A better setup than dual hydros. More durable, easier and less expensive to repair and the units will go faster. These are pretty close to commercial grade.

The Hustler FasTrack and FasTrack Mini are good machines but have integrated hydros. I prefer the Snapper setup.

Exmark is great stuff...I also like Dixie Chopper as well as the other commercial mowers. A well maintained commercial unit will be a decent choice but personally, I like to have a warranty.
