ZTR mowers
"Art" wrote in message ... Red wrote: I've got a flat 1 acre lot and am considering getting a smaller ztr mower. I just compared the cub cadet and troy bilt 42" mowers and found that they are made by the same company (MTD) and virtually identical except for 1hp difference in the Kohler engine. Even most parts are interchangeable. Well, maybe the cub cadet has a few minor niceities. So my question is: is the cub cadets 1 extra hp (20 vs 19) and a few minor features worth the $300 price difference or is it paying for name recognition only? Yeah, I know the Kawasaki engine is better but they only come on the larger size mowers. Red Both are pieces of crap. Don't throw away your money, buy a decent machine. -- Art Please give us reasons why. And what would you consider a "decent machine"? -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
