What you say is definitely correct. There are lots of other options that will cover more ground when mowing normal lawn and zero turns now have the manoeuvrability sewn up. But yes on a budget and if you have serious grass to tackle they are very capable and mostly bullet proof. If you can turn a spanner most likely the cheapest to continue to maintain over a long period there is just nothing expensive that can possibly fall off. Drive system fails the clutch linnings are $15 everything else is just idler pulleys, belts and the like.
Have to say the vanguard engine mine came with has been most impressive. I've only ever done normal maintenance and it still doesn't burn oil an runs like a top.
