I continue to see quot; Harry Home Owner quot; purchase these old time engineering garden tractors to merely mow their lawn, when the Zero Degree mower is far far superior and often less in the home owner category.
The zero turn mowers that I have seen are a bit more expensive than a run of the mill lawn tractor. Some of what I mow is too rough for a zero turn girlie machine. I need the real thing. I also use mine to pull things around the place. Not everyone mows a golf course. There is also more stuff to maintain. when it quits steering you may wish you had an old school yard tractor.
