You know? I see a lot of zero turns out there, and people love them. They appear to be great items and do great jobs. Having never owned one, I can say nothing bad about them, and again, the people that have them appear to love them, and they appear to do pretty well, and there are a ton of them out there, so that has to say something about them. Down below is a photo of a Cub Cadet. I was over at a sister's house, and she lives in a subdivision where "Keeping up with the Jones" really exists. Whatever one gets, the other tries to equal or out do, bless there hearts, and my BIL is no exception, bless my little sister for marrying him. So I'm over there one day, and a neighbor has this little John Deere about the size of that Cub below, only green, but it was some sort of hybrid cross between a lawn tractor and zero turn. It looked like that Cub, but the front tires didn't turn normal. They appeared to by free floating like a zero turn, so the turning must have been done by rear brakes like my field tractors and the sort.
I mow with an old Allis B. Its been long paid for, has a 59" Woods belly under it, gets good milage I figure, will still be around and running decades after I'm dead and gone like its original owner, and its zero turn. If I apply one of th rear brakes real hard, that tire will spin on a dime as the other propels me around, although it leaves a real big divit in the grass where the tire lug corkscrews down, but what the heck, its a farm yard and if people driving down the road don't like the looks of it when its done, they can go move into a subdivision with my little sister and her husband. Makes no difference to me. If it aint broke, maintain it but don't fix or replace it in my book.
Its your money, you earned it, you do what's best for you spending it as you see fit. Good luck.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
