[QUOTE="cumminspuller, post: 1617284, member: 39206"] My dad and I cut commercially for both of our second jobs. We run older Deere's. (ex. 737,757,777). They have given us very good service over the last 20 years. That being said Deere stopped building these models in 06. A low houred one is getting harder to find. Before the 757 and 2 777's we have I tried two other mowers. A Grasshopper 721D which is a front mount mower. Mine had the metal box collection system on it. It would make a yard look great if it was not very thick. The deck was not deep enough to handle a lot of grass at one time. I ran it a year and a half and traded it for a brand new super z Hustler. The Hustler would run 16 mph and cut grass at that speed if it was a yard that was cut every week. Ran it 2 and a half years and it was in the shop 9 times under warranty in the first 2 years. I sold it with 900 hours and went back and bought 757 Deere. Then came 2 777 Deere that we are still running. I really like the old 700 series Deeres. If I had to buy a brand new mower it would likely be a Scag or Exmark. My opinion is even if you are not cutting commercial if you will at least buy a lower end commercial mower you will have no problems getting 20 years of service out of it cutting a 2 acre yard. All that being said don't waste your time looking at anything sold at Home Depot, Lowe's etc. They are not quality mowers no matter whose name is on it. [/QUOTE]
