Look into a Hustler, in my opinion the best mower out there for the price. I'm on my 7th year with mine and love it. What model is the Hustler you have? What kind of price tag?

I had a thread on here a month or so ago similar. I was looking at the cub zero turn with steering wheel. I have a good amount of hills up to 20%. They say the steering wheel model is rated better on heels compared to the sticks, I still haven't done anything yet. I have been meaning to haul my friends ferries here and try it. My parents have a cub with steering wheel zero turn and it does great. Probably the route I'll go.

I sure like my Husqvarna Z52. That mower leaves me a lot of time to do other things.

Had several Snapper, Hustler, Troy Built. All good mowers and huge difference over regular steered mowers. Cuts cut time i by a third or better. Went ahead and bought an X Mark with 60" welded deck. Never looking back. Will cut at high speed and tough as nails.

Is yours the Ultima ZT2? It looks like this is a new model for 2019, and it does have the welded heavier deck on it. I'm in a pickle on what to do?? Some reviews are positive, and some no so much. I was also considering the Husqvarna mz 54, but the one I'm looking at would be almost $1000.00 more than the cub cadet. Mine is the RZT54, with a stamped deck. I looked at the ZT2 yesterday at HD. It looks like the same mower I have with a welded deck. I dont know how much you want to spend, but if you have a Scag dealer go look. If you are a vet you get 15% off. They are built by a company that builds military vehicles, and built like a tank. The one I sat in was as comfortable as my recliner, has a suspension seat with armrests. It is more money than the cadet but the way it is built it will last a lifetime. The way I look at is would I rather spend $4000 on a mower that may last 10 years or spend $6000 on a lifetime mower, that doesnt beat me to death? My cadet is 5 years old, I have used it 2 of those years. With what I know about it is if I had to replace it today it would not be another cadet.

Our family run's a 54" Hustler with a welded deck and suspension front wheels. If you wait until the grass is dry, you can mow steep land. It definitely takes some skill to cut on a side slope but it can be done. We also have a J.D. belly mower with 4 WD. I hate that thing for mowing because you can't see in front of you. The big nose on our J.D. 955 is annoying. It's a great tractor once you take the mower off. 72"cut. We run them on 2 different farms.
