Man, I'd been using a Swisher pull behind mower for 7-8 years. I thought it was a great way to cut grass until I got a ZTR. It cuts (literally) my mowing time in half. Not to mention getting a nicer cut. I only use the Swisher now to trim up around the pond and in the soft areas.

I don't know either of these mowers. I would like to find a pull behind mower for the T-4.

Full suspension zero turn? I didn't know they made such a thing. I bet that's a lot easier on your back and hips.

I bought mine at Northern Tool when Missy and I first started dating around 8 years ago. They had an end of the summer lawn and garden clearance and it was roughly 20% off. I had to buy it in Atlanta as they were the only ones around that had one with the 13hp Honda motor. It's a nice unit, built sturdy, and had never given me any problems until last year when the bearings in the blade spindles just wore out. This is like mine except I don't think they are available with the Honda anymore.

That is cool. I have a lot of hill sides to mow at my place.

I bet that diesel would last forever. Would like to try one out one of these days.

I rode in a diesel Ranger once years ago hunting. That thing like to shake the teeth out of your head, was obnoxiously loud and had a lot of fumes. Was about 5 years ago, hopefully they have improved them. Personally I would not have owned that one.

Mountain Motor Sports in Pound, Va has one and I've had the opportunity to play around on it. It's a good machine, seems pretty solid. I was looking at it as a trail maintenance machine for the trail system. It would be a great jobsite type machine, one that would be awesome for companies that would be installing waterline along the roadside, etc. As for a trail maintenance machine, it isn't strong (attachments) to do much on a trail. The mower seems very solid and I bet a man can mow forever with it. Controls we're a little tricky, but doesn't seem that hard to get used to. Overall they've got a pretty good idea, I can see larger construction companies benefit from it.
