Stihl Zero Turn RZ152

I’ve been over analyzed a mower that will work best for my particular lawn for several weeks now, and I’ve bounced all over the placed, from different styles, to new vs used, and beyond. Stihl recently dropped their price on the RZ152, and the specs and Ferris suspension caught my eye. I’ve never owned a zero turn, but my lawn is far from smooth. Am I over exaggerating the significance of a zero turn suspension system?

Anyway, this guy on Facebook was offering a 100 hour RZ152 for over the current new price of $4.5k. I messaged him tonight and made an offer at $2.8k. He at least made it seem like he’s entering it…At 100 hours, no warranty, and taking the sellers word for maintenance, how much is too much for this unit? He’s about 90 minutes away, and I’d have to rent a trailer for pickup.

There is shockingly little owner content on the RZ152, at least from what I could find. I know Stihl is relatively new to the zero turn market, but from my limited knowledge, again, it would seem to spec out well against similarly priced models.

Can anyone here tell me about their experiences with a RZ152?

Grasshopper 725DT

’m considering buying a Grasshopper 725DT with a 72” deck. I currently have 2 Kubota zero turn mowers and ever since I learned about the front mount Grasshopper mowers, I’ve been very interested in getting one. However, I’ve got a few questions I’m hoping this group can provide some real world answers to.

  1. How does the cut look with the Grasshopper diesel mowers? I’m asking because I have 2 Kubota mowers - a Z726 (gas) and a ZD1211 (diesel). Both are 60” decks but the cut quality is significantly superior with the gas mower. How’s the cut quality with the 725DT?

  2. How much better is the premier suspension seat? I’m hearing the grasshopper ride is smoother due to the front mount deck, so does the suspension seat make that much of a difference?

  3. how critical is the hydraulic deck lift option? With my Kubotas, I use the deck lift to cross over driveways, etc. but not much else. However, I do like the idea of the control being on the steering arm and that it also disengages the blades.

Thanks in advance.

Just thought would shares some pictures of my beloved stand on Altoz.

This mower uses rough cut, swing blades similar to a brush hog. These typically run about $20k out the door brand new but I picked this one up a couple years ago with 50 hours on the clock for $7,000.

Woods M2560 Mow Machine?

Anyone know anything about these? A friend is selling one with only 500 hours for $3500. My son is looking for something to mow ~1.5acres of flat land.

This can’t be right. Right?

I have new Scag Liberty with 2 hours. I’ve cut my yard twice so far and as soon as blades are engaged it continuously makes this clanking noise. At first I thought maybe it was the deck spring vibrating against the deck but now I’m not so sure. Any thoughts? Thanks

Cleaning & Scraping the Deck

Let's hear your tips and tricks for keeping the underside of your mower deck clean. I've been doing the good ol' floor jack, jack stands and a long Harbor Freight pry bar as a scraper. Planning to pick up a mower jack next week. Anyone ever try using an air scaler or air chisel to speed up the process? Any other ideas? My grass/soil caked on stuff won't come off easily with just a pressure washer.

Dilemma!

I am in the market for a new mower to replace an old 1995 John Deere that is beating me to death. 6 acres of land with 2 pristine acres. Long straight away maybe 15 degree slope. Narrowed to these three.

- Bad Boy Maverick 54/60

- Toro Titan My Ride 54/60

- Cub Cadet ZTXS4 54. Leading contender...

Which is better for both the nice lawn and the not so nice yard. Leaning toward the steering wheel version.

Cub Cadet

Overthinker?

Replacing front tires/wheels on my ‘new to me’ Scag 61. Currently pneumatic. Machine is rock solid, just needed some TLC. ‘Airless’ fronts seem logical, but at what comfort/grip price? Will i legitimately feel a big difference?
