Shopping for a new lawnmower (Toro?)

Posted by Buckeye Oliver collector on July 18, 2013 at 01:03:37 from (174.255.66.108):

Probably would have helped to get this on a more tractor related forum like this one (its on tool talk). Anyway, I've got a Huskee Supreme (MTD) 23 hp 46 inch deck that is getting tired. Think I'm losing a deck spindle on it and its just one thing after another fixing it. I'm leaning toward a zero turn. I'm just tired of cutting for an hour and a half every week plus trimming. We have 2.5 acres or so (not the biggest yard for a zero turn I know). I like the looks of the Toro Timecutters. I see two 42 inch models that do not seem overly fancy (we don't need a commercial unit): one with a 22 hp Kohler (SS4235, 74625) and the other with a 21.5 hp Kawasaki (SS4260, 74626). I've been around Kawasaki and Kohler motors both at work and like the Kawasaki a little more but they both seem good. Any opinions on these? Or am I crazy to consider a zero turn on this size lawn? I know Toro is not Scag but I'd rather avoid MTD and John Deere. Bobcat and Ferris both make nice mowers but they cost too.
