- We have 5 of the best Zero Turn Mowers which we test to find out which is best. We have mowers from Hustler, Ariens, Grasshopper, Kubota and Toro. We test them in long grass, short grass, on commercial areas, their speed and also how well they behave on slopes. #mowers #zeroturn #zeroturnmower #mower #commercialzeroturn #bestzeroturn #lawnmower #bestlawnmower2024 #machinerynation

Scagg or ferris would be my choice
I mow my property with a 400D grasshopper 72 inch I previously had a grasshopper 428D given to me by my dad it’s a 2001 model and still runs and mows prefect has almost 11000 hours on it
They all performed pretty well. The most impressive mower I've used was a Bobcat bank mower. It was an 80's machine, with a 72inch deck, with independent steering and was walk behind, extremely heavy, but easy to use. It absolutely destroyed everything in front of it! Great machine!!
Nice! Big unit that 👍🏼
Dixie shopper - Gravely - Bad boy - Scag
It’s like the older topgear. Great banter lads
Thanks Stuart, love to see comments like this 🙌🏻
The grasshopper looks like an 80s toy...love the fourth blade
The rear discharge deck was proven in the grasses of the UK when it was developed. If it works there, it must work everywhere.
Great mower, but yeah it would do with a bit of a facelift. But as the saying goes “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”
Scag liberty z 42”
Cub Cadet zero turn. I bought the domestic version with a steering wheel last October from a great local company, in North Devon, sadly no more, you may have heard of them. Excellent mower, tough, stable on slopes, cuts long grass, really good finish on short grass. Change over from Side discharge to mulch takes moments.
Any thing is better than green 😊
Brilliant video and content like this is why I subscribed to this channel in the first place. Now we've had a commercial ride on test, what about a commercial walk behind and/or stand behind mower test?
Thanks Ben. Yes we will do a commercial mower test at some point 👍🏼
Very good comparison guys, I actually have the Ariens Apex and have enjoyed it the past 2 seasons. When I decided to purchase it there was
a toss-up between it and the Hustler, both performed well.
I have a Dixie Chopper zero turn in my shop for a belt replace. It's advertised as the worlds fastest ZT..... they aren't kidding, its very fast.
The Ariens is a great mower and very well made. I’ve never used a Dixie Chopper but hopefully will soon, but it will be in a different colour 😉
Thanks, if you do get one you'll "quickly" see what I'm talking about. 🤣👍
They hold up really well also 😊
So far so good on mine Phillip, thanks bud. 👍
Hi James & Josh having zero experience of using zero turn mowers they all looked to do a good job your scores nearly reflected the pricing good over view demo video Thanks again
Thanks Darran, yeah they did 👍🏼
Awesome how those rear discharge decks coped with the long grass. They all gave a great finish 👍🏼
Thank you so much for your comment and feedback. It is a pleasure to have you as one of our subscribers and followers on so many of our channels.
That grasshopper looks like it is from the 60s. My Toro Titan didn’t cut low enough (32mm was the lowest, I think), so something to bear in mind when shopping.
Phew, it wasn't just me then. I kept thinking about how old skool that one looks, I quite like it.
The 60s were groovy, man. Demo the Grasshopper with that rear discharge deck and you'll yearn for the good ole days.
Great review 👍
Thank you 🙌🏻
Hi James + Josh, on this weeks addition of Top Mower, James drives a mower and Josh drives another mower. To be honest I would not be disappointed with any of them, but I like the Toro and Kubota. Looks like you both done good work with these mowers and most of all you have fun doing it, have a good one, Take care
Thanks Shaun mate. We just need Rich and we have the trio 🤣
I use exmark/toro cant beat the warranty you get what you pay for. Always wanted to try out grasshopper they just look like a solid mower that stuck with what worked kinda like the brown.
Love the Hustler very nice machine and quality cut. You should also take a look at Walker Mowers next time, they are outstanding in my opinion 👍🏻
I love my Kubota 726x
Great video. There is all good kit tbf at the caravan park where I work We use a toro groundsmaster it's good but can get tight between the caravans the tighter ones we use our john deere x750
Makes sense, thanks mate 👍🏼
I'd love to see the "New on the market" YATKA, I recently ran across this and am impressed, also if Husqvarna brings their articulating 4X4 models across the pond that be great. Thank-You
0:40 Nice to see Rich working for a change!
Best comment of the week 😂😂 well spotted
No Scag? I'm struggling to decide on your question. For me personally I'd be really tempted by that Grasshopper for jobs where a smaller machine is required (which is often a lot) but for big industrial jobs I think I'd go for the Hustler.
If a certain ex colleague were here he would be laughing and calling me, "Fan boy" again as I learned zero turn on a Hustler and I've liked them ever since, though that Toro is... Ugh, I can't make my mind up, if money were no obstacle..
Hahaha, such a fanboy 😉
I have a pro Z100 Cub Cadet I only had engine issues and drive belt issues due to oil leaks but the caster wheel on the front left is wore out because the grease fitting popped off but before i had it the mower needed deck work it has well over 800 hours.
I love a zero turn. Miss my turf tiger with a boat engine in it. Definitely missing a few big brands scag/Ferris/bobcat/ club cadet but the one i would of liked to have seen the most is the cramer 82zt132 up against its petrol borthers. Also didnt expect the Kubota to have a Kawasaki engine in it. Cracking video lads 👌
That would have been great to see! Yeah, first petrol Kubota I’ve used 👍🏼
Ferris and Scag
Right now i've only gone 9 seconds into the video and boy oh boy i know i will enjoy it ;)
edit: Good video
Awesome news 🤩
Definitely like TORO for comfort and parts. Hustler looks good. Would have liked to see Cub Cadet
An adjustable cupholder and a USB charging port would seal the deal for me. But something you guys missed out... Speaking as an exgreenkeeper that always had a wet arse, it is a seat that performs well in the wet!
The Hustler has a USB plug on left side of seat 👍
Haha, got to charge up the entertainment somehow, The wet arse however… I believe there is a cream for that lol 😂
Yes, there is we forgot mention it 🤦🏻♂️
I agree with what Josh said they are all great machines, but if i was a contractor i would go for the toro and fit a electric flap 👍
100% Nev 👍🏼
Would love to see raw unedited asmr grass mowing with both ride on mowers and push along mowers, that would be ace to watch especially long grass vs ride in mowers
Review Ferris and bobcat
edit: also simplicity
I’d of never looked at the grasshopper mower if I didn’t watch this video. It looked to have a really good finish with that deck. Not much grasshopper dealers up here in Cumbria yet though.
I've been looking at zero turns and having rear discharge seems like a very overlooked feature depending on what kind of work you do. As you showed going around beds and stuff like that you won't blow a bunch of clippings into them or have to go round the lawn a particular way and it leaves the best finish.
100% agree 👍🏼
Too bad you weren't able to test a Walker mower.
Husqvarna Z560X
Grasshopper is my favourite
Thanks mate, we would have liked the Husqvarna to be there.
Good review. I’d like to see a review of them with the mulch kit on and how good of a finish they leave. You could do that with stand on mowers.
We did think to include this in the video but would of dragged it out even longer 😂
It wouldn’t have mattered you can never have a mowing review like that that takes to long. I think it needs done
Badboy
Bobcat ZS4000!
Which was most comfortable to ride and use thats important! and used know a Debbie she could really spread
Great video lads one of my favourite subjects zoro turns green works battery z.t Optimas z or the Spartan with the big briggs and Stratton vanguard engine I would love to see these on test but I'm not sure they're available over here 😅😂
We will hopefully bring a battery zero turn comparison soon 👍🏼
SCAG and Cub Cadet missing, other than that for the UK market at least you have the best of the bunch outside of battery versions like Mean Green.
I'd probably go for the Kubota and with the money saved opt into a 3-5 year service plan and lots of spare blades :D
Ferris for speed
Simplicity or snapper for cost all have suspension
Wright manufacturing makes the best commercial mowers hands down and customer service second to none. The Arens and the Kubota are not what I would consider commercial duty mowers .
I have a scag 52 , shame they couldn’t send one 🏴👍🏻🙋🏼♂️
Toro is Cool!! important🎉🎉🎉😊 all day long. I have the 2000 My Ride
Nice, how long have you had it?
please for the love of lawns, lift ur deck on ur turn arounds or else the scalp wheel digs into the lawn. happened on the ARIENS at 7:35
Definitely Scag. I prefer Scag, because, well I have one haha
These are great but quite big have you thought of reviewing stand on zero turn mowers
Videos coming soon… 😉
It would have been interesting to throw an EGO Z6 in there to see how one would compare, maybe a diesel (Ferris IS2500Z or John Deere Z997R) as well.
We are already planning a battery version of this video and then maybe one with both…
Gravely & Scag
What happened to Wright?
Ariens should concentrate on getting the A series countax back on the production line instead of the zero turn!
Not surprised to see Cub Cadet missing from the line up... I've struggled to even get a demo of the LZ7.
Considering we have done so much with them in the past. It was a shame they were not involved.
@@MachineryNation We didn't get the memo or we'd have been involved 😉
@@cubcadetuk2602 We’ve done so much with you guys in the past and would have loved for you to be in the test, as you know we are huge fans.
You’ve had the same emails as everybody else and the last we heard you were waiting to clarify marketing budgets and would let us know about comparisons at the same time. There is only so much chasing we can do, very happy to include you in future videos. Do you have a different contact in your marketing team? Just incase, ours is contact@machinery-nation.com
John Deere missing one
I would chose kubota because of reliability and dealer 2 min away
Yazoo was the first!
Hard to compare residential mowers to the full blown commercial toro. That is like comparing a Toyota Tacoma to a F350! I do understand you can only review what was sent. Thanks!!
It would be great to see a HUSQVARNA Z460 or Z554L
To be honest if I was looking at spending the amount the Toro costs , I'd more likely buy a new BX series Kubota with a 60" mid mount deck and 3 cylinder diesel.
It would certainly be a toss up 👍🏼
Instead of Speed measuring the area covered in a given time might be more useful. That would tell you how much time you need to cover a acre for example since it takes into account the width of the machine, I.e. how many rows you have to drive for a given area.
Yeah , lots of different test we could do. But that would also depend how long/tall/think your grass is. And no doubt sometime would moan we didn’t do the test the way they see it 👍🏼
@@MachineryNation oh, I was just thinking about taking the width of the machine into account as a factor but I think I know what you mean.
Haven't watched the video yet, but would like to see the how the Ego battery powered would fare against this line up. Obviously it's home gamer but it'd be interesting.
Battery zero turn comparison up coming 👍🏼
Should of featured the John deer 0 turn
Was Dixon the first zero turn mower?
Lots of mixed information so far. We will keep digging!
I think you scored debis spread wrong, you said the Toro was 2nd best but scored it 2 points when it should have had 4 points? Great video though, thanks!
You’re right we did, luckily on review it doesn’t change the scores. Well spotted 👍🏼😉
@@MachineryNation Well it would won't it? since the toro would of gotten 4 points (the koboata that you scord 4 would of been 3 points and the hustler would of been 2) so the end scores would of been a tie for first? at 21 points
No john Deere z545 one of the best on the market at the moment
Would be great to have John Deere involved 👍🏼
I think you also should have mentioned the ego zeroturnmowers. I know you've already tested them but yeah
We will do a battery zeroturn video soon 👍🏼
Gravely, cub cadet
maybe be consistant with how you score, is 5 the best or 1?????
Stihl, John Deere, Cub Cadet and many other zero turns are missing from this line up.
They are, although Stihl don’t do a Zeroturn in the UK.
Ferris, grillo
I like my battery gear, but it’s obvious that battery energy density is an issue with not one manufacturer putting one up … however, it’s about time the ICE manufacturers went direct fuel injection and catalytic converters for pollution and the health of the driver.
We will bring a battery comparison soon 👍🏼
why don't you tru greens/gang mowers next
Put a z781i and x 1 up against the 4000 then it will be a comparison
John Deere + Ferris 100% and Husqvarna
It would be great to have all these involved with our channel 👍🏼
Walker B27 would beat them all, especially holding traction on wet slopes.
Where is the Bad Boyand the John Deere?
And yet the very best didn’t turn up
Ferris!
Husquvarna missingone
Kubota
Guess our invitation got lost in the mail 😔
Are they available in the UK? Ping us and email it would be great to learn more contact@machinery-nation.com
@@MachineryNation Not yet. Will send you an email to stay in touch for when we are! Aiming for next year.
Dixon
John Deere z740
We would love to include John Deere but they don’t reply to our emails haha.
cub cadet
Toro is the better mower, you just use the most expensive one for your video which hurt it in the ratings. For a better comparison, you should’ve gone with a Z 2000 or the Titan Max.
No ear protection guys? Poor example to set.
What was that? 🫢🎧
Why never no john deere
True
They didn’t provide a mower to them= no review
they're shit
We email and they don’t email back 😂😂
no hearing protection shocking. setting a bad example
Sorry, I missed that. What did you say?
@@MachineryNation i almost fell for that. its still early morning 🤪
@@mikecoxycox4734 😉
Please….for the love of all this is holy…I beg of you…learn how to do a PROPER 3 POINT TURN! I know nearly every commercial,lawn company owner/operator is absolutely cringing. 😮 I could barely watch the mowing footage as you single point pivoted on the tires, tearing the turf up and even spinning the tires backwards. That’s NOT how you turn a zero turn and it’s hard on the drives.
Obviously a pointless video having not included what is the best zero turn, FERRIS.
No
All are over priced
All of them are over priced
Hustler overpriced
