Cutting my grass that is! I've got a large hilly yard. I finally got tired of wearing out box store riding mowers every 4 or 5 years so I picked up a Z411 this morning. Wow at the difference it makes, so much faster and so much smoother. I managed to mow my front yard this morning and shaved half an hour off the time it normally takes me, and I only spun myself around in a circle twice, lol :D

Orange is addictive. Just sayin'! Warn your wife that this likely won't be the only orange implement that ends up at your place. I started with just one, now have three, and can still see a zero-turn mower in my future!

Congratulations on your new orange toy! Might be all done mowing up here for the year. Maybe one more at the most. How long does your season go to?

Thanks guys, I'm definitely pretty psyched!

It really depends on the weather year to year and how picky I'm feeling. It definitely slows down around October, but most years I could easily mow into November close to Thanksgiving. I have a lot of big oaks in my yard so I usually mow through October and then let the leaves cover everything until spring.

I can relate, picked up a z726 earlier this year. Went from 2.5 hours of mowing down to 1. About 2.5 acres.

A zero turn is good for one thing, mowing, and they are very good at it! Enjoy!!
