Great video! It's cool to see so many different mowing machines in action.

Thanks! It was fun running them all this season. It definitely kept things interesting being able to operate a few different brands each week.

Which machine do you prefer for cut quality up here in PA (out of the ZTRs)? Looks like you've tried almost all of the major brands.

It’s a toss up between the Hustler and the Exmark. They both handle tall fescue and other thicker grasses really well and the the decks have excellent airflow and high capacity. I’m leaving Scag out of this since the one I run is older than than both of them and deck technology and design has evolved since Scag came out with the Advantage deck. You can’t go wrong with the two brands cut quality wise, it really just comes down what you prefer engine wise and the design of the rest of the mower. Here in southeast Pa, you will see most landscaping companies running Exmark, Hustler, Scag, and JD. With Exmark being the most common, atleast that’s what I’ve in my local area.

@@JohnDeere318Guy Cool, thanks for the info. What about the Grasshopper? Any thoughts on their deck compared to the competition? I have a 2006 Exmark Lazer Z HP at the moment, but I'd like to grab something newer.
