Have a cub cadet 50 inch 3 blade zero turn.. Its the first mower that I have worn out 3 sets of blades and two blade spindles, and blade clutch. and it keeps going. Got it 2003 and mow 10 months out the year here in so-tex. Last blade change had to put a reinforcement ring on one of the spindle mounts as it was starting to crack at the bolt holes, but the ring is readily availible and works well. It is not a perfect mower like the toro, but it is a brute, fast, handles higher grass, and mowes at full speed. I wear the blades down to points at the tips and then they get shorter and start leaving a grass line. So blades get changed every 4 years or so.

the two bladed toro zero turn only likes short grass, mows slower, has a much narrower deck, is under powered, but is a bit more comfortable, but mows perfect, in the very thick carpet grass and Bermuda. So its great for smaller yards.

But since I mow an acre plus every week, or sometimes two weeks, the cadet always is used first. The toro Timecutter is a back up mower or used when both of us mow.

I have had lots of mowers but this one has lasted the longest for a comsumer grade mower. My bil has an expensive commercial zt and he has worn out more spindles and parts than I have and mows much less. He doesnt water his yard.
