John Deere Zero Turn Pro's/Con's?

[daydreamer]

Looking to get into a new John Deere Zero Turn. Only have experience with their traditional riders. Any pro's/con's I should be thinking about before purchasing. I have about 2 acres to mow with very few trees and only one slight hill. Looking at getting into the Z245 or the A425. Thanks for any information you might have.

If it was mine, I would go with the Z445 to get the quality pump and wheel motors and the Commercial Kawasaki motor. It is a heavier duty machine, but it will last.

You only have to replace oil and air filters and the occasional belt with these.

I looked at them and was going to get the z45 with the kaw ended up with a cub z force 50 a whole lot less money and after two years so far couldnt be happier. I have roughly 2+ acres and I am done in 1 hour and 50 min lots of trees probably about 60
