What zero turn radius to buy
Hi Cutter
You recall correctly, I am another grashopper clippings victim. Thanks for remembering.
On the ZTR deal I have heard generally good praise for this residential series - so will probably take the plunge and buy the EZ Trac 425 at $4000 from my dealer, I could buy from HD (at the same price) but won't. I dont have much area to mow (2 ac. around the house) with it and can't justify buying a commercial model (expense, they start at around 7500) for that small an area. I also dont want to mess with maintaining a used one as some of the stuff is just too heavy / tight / big for me to lift / turn / manage. Thanks for y'all comments.

What zero turn radius to buy
Grass clippings blowing back up at the operator on any mower are usually the result of two things;
First, the discharge chute extension is set wrong, damaged, or missing completely. They are often removed to allow the operator to mow closer on the discharge side of the deck.
Second, in an effort to make the deck perform better a higher lift blade has been installed than is required, causing an excess of air flowing out of the deck, this causes the clippings to blow upwards and swirl around like confetti.
Any properly setup mower deck should blow the clippings cleanly away from the deck in a reasonably neat & compact stream. Anything more or less is indictive of a problem.
Best of luck.

What zero turn radius to buy
I havent read everyones reply but I have a mowing business in Maine and I mow around 150 lawns a week, and I have tried every zero turn around. The only one I can swear by is the walker. I dont know if they have them around where you are from but they are the best and easiest to use, the least maintenence and do the best job. The walker is the only zero radious I will ever own again. There more pricey then the other models, but well worth the money. you will get a lot longer life out of them. and a lot more agile. any way thats my two cents, hope it helped

That Walker machine looks really nice with the deck way out front and unobstructed like that. Fairly large wheels also. My wife didn't want me to get a zero turn so that she could use it also (although she hasn't used it so far). Instead I bought a JD LT190 with a 16" turning radius. I'm sure the zero turn is nicer, but a 16" turning radius is very tight and for 2 acres or less is quite adequate.

Take a look at the Wright Stander Ann. Was a little more than 4k the last time I checked.
