    Loved the series. As you have stated multiple times, they are all great machines and it comes down to personal preference at the end of the day. Thank you so much Pete for putting so much time and effort into this.

    spartan mower in the top 6 over a toro/exmark blows my mind. I figured cut quality alone would get the toro/exmark in the top 6. Thanks for all the information in these great videos.

    Awesome stuff, Pete!
    The highlight of this entire series for me is...the COMPETITION. When you have this many quality competitors in one field, the consumer ALWAYS wins.
    One of the biggest issues in this country right now is price controls. When there's only 2 or 3 players controlling entire industries, consumers don't have choices, and we lose.
    This series makes me extremely proud of the current competitive state of the landscape equipment industry in this country. Keep at it manufacturers! 🇺🇲

    Pete, I have the bobcat mower and agree with you. I am not a huge fan of the safety in the drive lever. They did it that way however so that the mower can be used as a walk behind also is my understanding

    Pete, I am excited to hear that the Hustler Super S made your top 6. The fact that you were impressed with the cut and the quality of the steering reaffirms what Hustler is all about. I also wanted to thank you for being incredibly kind when I picked up and dropped off the mower. Regardless of which mower you end up going with, I want to thank you for giving Hustler a shot, and wish you the best in the future!

    Dealer support is, to me, the most important factor when purchasing and equipment.
    I was surprised by your top six. I know that it's all personal preference and interpretation though. That said, there's two on your list that i absolutely would not own (I've used both and owned one brand for a decade plus) and there were two that i was certain would be on your list that were absent. I haven't watched all of the individual reviews yet but i know that one then will get dinged for lower HP than you like and for it's safety switch being located in the handle. That said, I've never had an issue with it not performing well in the tallest and wettest St Augustine grass and in tall, thick blue grass and fescue. The cut quality is always good, however, it does not stripe well but that is easy to remedy with a little ingenuity
    Thanks again for doing this

    Something to consider is the amount of problems with the machines, dealer support in an area as well as the other things you have mentioned. Since you run wright zk's you know the issues, if any that you have had with them. For me, we have 4 in our fleet with zero issues in 5 years. I will stay with wright until they fail.

    I've been researching to buy a mower for my 5 acres. Regarding the keypad start, I've learned that if a keyed unit fails, it costs about $20 in parts, whereas the keypad unit's parts cost $200. And during COVID-19, the keypads were impossible to find.

    Great video series. Thank you for putting in all of the time & effort. I hope the videos get the views they deserve.
    Do you think any of your generalized findings for these brands would carry over to their ride-on ZTR models?
    I'm very intrigued by the Ferris and Spartan mowers.

    None of those mowers offer an integrated bagging system. I think Toro which we run and Scag are the only ones that offer such a thing. I wouldn't be surprised if Toro came up with a suspension system for the next model.

    Great video Pete but this one almost gave me a heart attack. I had to turn the volume up so loud to hear you, then when you started a mower or when your music played at the end it just about blew my out of my chair it was so loud. But after recovering from that, great content here!

      I have had zero problems with the oil filter on Wright zks. I moved the trash can all the way forward. Problem solved. I jack it up from the back and slide the oil pan underneath then lower it down. Or use a 9x13 pan from my wife’s kitchen.
