Hi guys, I appreciate everyones input. In relation to hydros at my price point they are all zt 2100/2200. Watched a youtube clip on rebuilding them ...pretty straight forward anyway.
After going back to Red Shed and AG, I discounted the Rover. On closer look basic in its finish. Hustler also discounted on price but I added the Toro MX4200. I liked the engine but only 3 yr warranty on frame and engine. The Husky had extended 5 yr. They redesigned the deck which was a weak point in previous model. Now has cast iron spindles which I liked and front wheel bearings and front axle (wheel pivot thing) also has grease nipples. Tick for me, easy remove foot plate cover gives access to belts in 30 seconds too. Nice feature. 21.5 Kawasaki engine 5yr warranty. End of the day I got the baby zero turn z242E. If I was to spend 6500 to 7000 then everything changes and more options. Disappointing it's a week wait until they can drop it off but cant have everything.
I'll let everyone know how it turns out. Now to fix the no drive on my old greenfield tractor 8 and sell it. That's been a great mower. Need front pulley/bearing that attaches to engine shaft. Does anyone know the part number?
Regards
