Parents wanting to buy a new zero turn....
Original Message Jul 5, 2005 4:39 pm

Well, my parents have 2 acres and they have been buying murrays and weedeaters and so on for years now. Well my dad is wanting to buy a quality mower this time, I found a 48 inch Snapper today with a Briggs on it. I believe it was a 20 hp. The mower is brand new from a dealer down the road he is asking 4100.00.Personaly I think that the Briggs will hold up just fine for that yard they will only be using it only for that yard of course once a week in the summer and spring and just a few times in fall and winter ( florida). What do you guys think and any other suggestions??? I don't think he is wanting to spend over 5000.00 for one Oh yea he said he wil not buy a Cub Cadet, because his co worker has one and he has had nothing but problems. Later Mike

Hi...

Been checkin' out Z-turn riders past few weeks... for their needs I would strongly consider the Hustler brand Fastrack models... 48" & 54" ? cuts under $5,000 here... Seems pretty close to the commercial models...

Seeminly solid machines !
