If all you're doing is mowing the lawn, go for it. For some of us,
however, there is more to a lawn tractor than simply cutting grass. I
use mine to tow a roller or a trailer. I also have a bagging system,
which I don't believe you can get on a ZTR mower.

Incorrect. You can do all of these things with the Deere SST series (which
are ZTR).

Next year I plan on
adding a spreader to my collection. These are not things you can do
with a ZTR.

Again incorrect.

You can't get a snowthrower or front blade for an SST. You also can't get a
garden tiller. Pull-behind options are not a problem, though, so everything
you mentioned (including the rear bagger) you can do with the SST.

So it depends on your needs. With 3+ acres that need
cutting, faster would have been nicer, but I had to weigh my other
needs.

Too bad you didn't weigh them correctly! grin
