A few of your favoritest subjects.
Recently my beloved Snapper LT16 was gong through the death throws. Motor and frame still solid after 23 years but the electric clutch and previously the battery recharging stuff went out. So its time to think about retiring the old red thing. Been a good one. Long time relationship and a lot of seat time on that mower. I might try and convert her to just a yard cart puller or something. See if I can get a few more years out of her not mowing but towing the yard trailer around.
So... I go on my hunt for the perfect mower. And spend hours and hours looking and researching. A mower is a long time investment to me. I like nice beefy stuff. Now... the new thing is the Zero Turn stuff. So I concentrate my efforts on those and of course am disappointed in the ones made for the Residential market. Everyone with big lawns is going with the Commerical stuff. But thats like over 5 grand and goes way up from there. So with little to spend and all I finaly find the perfect Residential one. Price and Beefy Commercial like build on it. It was not the Snapper. The Snapper one is adequate just not really up to the same build as the Commercial ones. Finaly I find the right one....
This is their smallest one. I only mow about a half acre. Got a good price on it too. 3 grand. Lists for $3500. This thing is built like a brick chit house. Learning to use it now. Its tricky. But its fun. And it has a place for my beer...
This company you might not have heard of. They made the very first Zero Turn mower in 1964. But they mostly sold to the Commercial Highway dept government market. And just recently got back into doing Landscaper Commercial and now Residential size machines. Someone forgot to tell them to build them cheaper made for that. They just downsize the overall size is all. And put a great warranty on them. Three years parts and labor and lifetime on the deck and frame. And then sold them for a bit less than Snapper or Cub Cadet. Amazing peice of equipment. Take a look at Hustler if your in the market. And if your near around me... let me know. I know a guy... cheap... good dealer.

With the 16 foot swath it wouldn't take but a few minutes to cut your 1/2 acre
