I just bought a new Zero Turn at Home Depot yesterday. I didn't see a
48" green option for $2800. I did see that for $3600. I bought the
50" Cub Cadet for $3k. I had a really hard time trying to decide if
the Deere was worth another $600. The Cub also has a three year
warranty instead of two. The Deere is nicer, with solid connections
between the levers and hydrostatic transmissions and a rear engine
shroud thing. But I am sick enough over spending $3k on a tool I'd
rather not use, so I decided not to spend 20% more.
