[QUOTE="Beefeater, post: 1567028, member: 25588"] A big difference with the decks will be the cheap ones are stamped and the good ones are welded [/quote] Not entirely true. Equipment to stamp out a large mower deck from 7ga steel is simply cost prohibiting to some manufacturers. I’ve owned a JD Z960a for going on four years now. Large Kawasaki engine and she’s a beast. 300 plus hours and I replaced clutch last Fall and mower engaging switch (my fault for being to rough) and a sensor. JD, Scagg and Feris made my list when researching my purchase in the Midwest. Bought the JD from commercial guy upgrading to Ferris for a smoother ride. One thing that was consistently recommended was not going to the 72” deck - simply too much wear and difficult navigation for most acreages. Cut my mowing time in half buying some electric fence and a few sheep. They’ll mow in the rain and don’t tear up the yard, but pretty sure my wife would put her foot down if I try going into the front yard. [/QUOTE]
