My 20+ year old garden tractor bit the dust at the end of last mowing season. Got this new fangled zero turn commercial mowing machine.....

Wowzer!!!!! You like the kind of mower my husband has. Zero turn, speed demon. ;D ;D ;D
My neighbor just got a new one, too. His is a monster. 48" cut! It cost a fortune. I have lawn mower envy. I'm still pushing ::)
"difference between a man and a boy, is the price of the toy" ;D
That's what this one is as well 48" cut, couple inches more than the old one. This has a 19 horse V-twin Kawasaki engine compared to my old 22 horse Kohler and it is so quiet it's almost unbelievable. It's taken a bit to get used to the steering and the turf tires are not the best for my hilly property, but over all I'm very pleased with it.

The commercial CCs are nice. My neighbor has a 54" deck on "The Tank". I've got the Scag Tiger Cub I bought a few years ago. 48" Deck. I think it has the 19HP same as yours. Learning to mow with it is a bit different though. Although it's a"Zero Turn" when you actually turn around you want to do a "Y" instead of a zero turn. Otherwise it tears up your grass. My property took over 3 hours with a POS Husqvarna. The Scag cut me down to an hour. And it mows at 14 mph with good blades. Which down here last about 10 minutes.
You are going to love how quick it is but you get a lot dirtier with the ZT over a rider type.
