Just bought a kioti 60" commercial zero turn...and absolutley most comfortable ride ever on a mower. Adjustable seat you set dial to your weight exactly and go. All digital start code and cushioned ride. Mows fast too. We have 3 acres and can mow it all in about 1.5 hours tops.. This thing made all the other mowers we ever owned look like POS's.seat is way more comfortable than most autos I driven. Jim

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I paid150 per cut nine years ago. Grows so long in a week they needed to cut it twice. Once to cut, the next to chop the mat of grass. At that rate I can pay off a mower in two years. Going to check out the kabota today. My local dealer didn't have one so we have to find one in another town.

I have a Toro and really like it.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

So I have tested all three. The exmark "s" series started hard, manuverability was good, the floating seat deck was good,. When turned off it ran on for at least 2-3 seconds. The hustler was the quietest of all, manuvered well, but it backfired when turned off. Both salespersons said it was because the units were just taken out of the crate and still needed to no gone through. The kabota with it's wide tires was smooth to ride, fast, seat was good for not having any suspension, started quickly and shut off with no issue. Manuvered well. It was the loudest and that may be because the deck seemed to vibrate more than the others. I am leaning to the kabota.

Kubota, hands down the toughest most reliable zero turn on the market. The company is there for you not like some of the other brands. You won't find a better company to do business with and to me that is huge, in itself.

My local Kubota dealer has a foul attitude. Hustler has been making zturns the longest time of the 3.
