Another vote for Country Clipper here. Have had it for a year now and no issues. The flip up deck is great for cleaning/blade removal and the wife likes the single joystick so she can text while she mows lol

Last year I picked up a 2017 Cub Cadet RZT SX54 with the steering wheel and a 54" deck...... LOVE it. Used to take me about 5 hours with my 21 horse 42" ride on now I can be done in about an hour & 45. I needed the steering wheel because of my ditches and side hill terrain, there was no way a mower with front casters would work. I chse cadet because for comarible price points they offered a fabed deck over the toro stamped deck, 0% financing over 3 years with 3 year warranty and I was impressed with the dealer knowlege & service (Agriterra in Stony). Cost me about $4950 out the door with a duel rear bagger attachment.
My whole property is uneven and off kilter, I don't find the zero turn cuts any more erratic than my ride on did.

Looked at a few different brands last year , ended up buying a Gravely 42 inch. Liked a few features better than the cub cadet or the JD and the price was very comparable. Works very well been great so far

anyone know of a zero turn model that has the mower deck far enough forward to cut under the branches of a spruce tree?

If you're looking for a 54", look at the Z125SKH-54 in the Kubota. 25hp Kohler w/ 54" deck. If you have a Kubota dealer close by, go try one out. You WON'T be disappointed.

I get under there with my Deere... just get that pine fresh smell by the time you get round all the trees.

Is that the same as hanging a pine tree air freshener in your truck?

I bought an old used JD F725 early last year. Great rig. Not a zero turn, but front deck, rear steer....will leave about a 8" circle on a full tight turn...perfect for going around trees.

I'm bringing this thread back from the dead. Currently doing my research on what zero turn to buy. I have approx. 2 acres to cut, lots of trees to mow around. We moved in at the end of August and I borrowed a buddies 42" Ariens to do it. It did okay but just took a whole afternoon to get the lawn mowed, my time is worth something to me... So I'm looking for a 54" to 60" deck. Seems like they all use version of the same 22-25hp Kawi, B&S, Kohler engines so not much difference there from what I can tell. My budget is 8k tops, looking for good used/low hours but not opposed to new if the deal is right. Just don't want to buy something that needs a bunch of work from the get-go.
Seems like major players John Deere, Kubota, Cub Cadet, Husqvarna. I don't really have a preference, just want something that is built decently and will last a long while with basic maintenance and decent dealer support.

Watch the auctions, Teams is a good one to watch. Thats a tight budget for a zero turn but watch the sales enough and you should be able to find one. The smaller auction companies in rural AB you can find a better deal at times. The online bidding has sure increased values though

Parents have had a John Deere Z540R with 60" deck and 24hp engine for about 5 years now, been a sharpen blades, change oil, and add gas machine since new. They have 2.75 acres, all of it is lawn with the back 1/3rd having tons of trees to mow around. It's about 3hrs to mow it all if the grass isn't too thick.
You never know, you might walk into a Deere dealership and find a salesman that wants to give a deal for a January sale.
Here's a used one from Brandt, not sure if there's room to dicker on price. Not much of a deal on used, only save $1,600 for 150hrs and 3 years old, can't imagine there is much warranty left on it either. For that price I'd probably just go new.
