Buying Advice Z-Force Commercial or Tank?

Needing a new mower. My local dealer options are



Cub Cadet

Kubota

Hustler

BigDog



I can go out of state (KY) to get other brands but trying to keep in the neighborhood (Southern Indiana).



Need to know if there are any known issues with the Z-Force Commercial 48" with the Kohler engine. I'm possibly going to look at getting the TANK since I'm only a about 1500 difference from the Zforce.



I'll be cutting my 1.1 acre lot with the possibilities of picking up a few lawns (to help pay for the mower).



I've asked others where I work and they say "Dont get a Cub, they are not what they used to be". That could be good or bad. I'm not a lawn pro (yet) and have no history of buying quality mowers. Always got the Lowe's versions.



Thanks,



Dave.
