Here's my situation:
I'm looking at upgrading my mower and I'll be buying a zero turn when I do. My budget is $3k-$3500...I mow 1 acre weekly at my house and ~3 acres bi-monthly at the farm. I will be hauling this mower on a trailer about every 2 weeks and I've got to stay right around a 50" deck; nothing bigger than that will fit on my trailer. I will be buying a mower with either a Kawasaki or Kohler motor, for sure...

Here's what I know:
My Dad has owned 2 Toro's over the last ~8 years and they've been good mowers. I like everything about them, but the deck is somewhat cheap/flimsy...I saw a Cub Cadet at Tractor Supply that had a much more heavy duty deck, but I've never heard good things about a Cub Cadet.

What should I buy???
