First off - new member. Have been reading the forums quite a bit and are very informative and not so opinionated like a lot of the other forums I have whizzed through.
The JD LT160 hydro crashed a few weeks ago so looking into the ZT market. I have narrowed it down to the Kubota Kommander, Ferris IS600Z and the Gravely ZT HD - all with 48" decks. Kub has a Kohler, Ferris the new B&S turf series, and Gravely the Kawi FRXXX. All "seem" to be fairly evenly matched but different. I realize the Kub is fairly new but has the brand recognition and long standard name and a couple extra bling items. Love the idea behind the iCD deck on the Ferris, suspension, ZT 3400's and a lot of little things that make a lot of sense. The Gravely is a .... Gravely - name says it all. The Kub and Gravely are very close in price while the Ferris is a little bit more. The Ferris dealer/saleman is my favorite. The Kub salesman was kinda cheezy (read used car salesman) but I can overlook that. Havent had a chance to meet the Gravely dealer yet - he's a bit further out (about 45mins - 1 hr). The Kub and Ferris dealer I can be at in 15 mins. Ive been using a friends Gravely ZT HD 52" and like it pretty well. I'm sure its just a matter of preference but I wanted you guys to chime in with your opinions/experience of each. I appreciate anyone who will take the time.
