5 Best Zero Turns Under $4,000

I like the Bad Boy, because it will probably last the longest because of the 7 gauge steel body.

Here is a summary of the key points: - Zero turn mower prices have increased in recent years, with most models now costing $3,500 or more for a residential mower. - For a 1-3 acre lawn, a mower under $4,000 should work well. A mower may struggle on lawns of 5 acres or more. - It's recommended to purchase from a local lawn mower dealer rather than a big box store, for better service support. - The top 5 mower models under $4,000 are compared - Cub Cadet Ultima ZT, John Deere ZRA 300, Toro TimeCutter, Bad Boy Rambler, and tie between Ariens Edge and Hustler Dash. - Features like engine, deck thickness, tire size, fuel tank size, warranty and price are used for comparisons. - The Cub Cadet is selected as the best overall value due to its engine, build quality, large tires/fuel tank and best warranty for the price. - The similarities between entry-level models means personal preferences will determine the best choice. Local dealer support should also factor into the decision.

Great video thank you. I think that since the features are so similar among all of these mowers, the most important aspect to me is reliability. Not even necessarily the best warranty because who wants to deal with transporting your mower to the shop much less waiting for it to be fixed? I’ve had an Ariens 42” tractor for several years and it’s been pretty reliable, but I want to upgrade to a zero turn and the reviews for the Ariens models are not very good. Thanks for the comparison!

I wish Bad Boy would offer a twin cylinder for the 42" model. Especially a Kawasaki. That single cylinder Briggs has issues.

I picked up the mY RIde, great mower, and it will save my back

Buy it online will save alot of money

Two years ago I purchased a HUSTLER "Raptor". I regret it. The Kawasaki FV600 engine is very loud. I had to buy a pump to drain the oil because the drain on the engine is positioned right on the mounting deck. No way to catch it. Oil will spill oil everywhere. The dealer gave me a piece of tubing to use to divert the flow. The fuel tank is odd in that it will show full and then drain down. I usually add another gallon after the initial "full". It has a 42" 2- blade deck. I use it to mow 1 acre St Augustine grass. I mow at least weekly. The deck is terrible. The blades leave a narrow 'row' of grass even in straight runs, much less tight turns. During heavy growth, the engine cannot handle the load (cut height 3"). It will bog down. IF I do not disengage the deck the engine will die. I did have the dealer install a mulching kit. I have cleaned the underside of the deck with no improvement. When in operation or running free, the arms are off set. No longer side by side. The dealer says they have adjusted as much a s possible. Anymore they start replacing parts. It has <100 hours use. Never again.

Actually it's a very poor video because he never talks about cut quality Or reliability of the machine, Including dealer network. Overall I think it was a robot generated video and a bad one at that.

Got a spartin way beter thin thes

None of these piles of junk have the deck close enough to the left rear tire. That makes it hard to follow smaller trees. In FACT, the deck should stick out 6inches so you can mow under trailers and other objects. I'm surprised that "experts" don't know the value of what I have stated. They let the public figure that out,,,,,,,,,, TOO LATE!!!!
