I have a 60" Toro, never had a flat tire yet.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

They're all good mowers. But like anything, all of them will probably have an issue somewhere down the road. I asked same question a number of years back. I ended up buying a 60 in Hustler. Look at the warranties and incentives that are offered. Is there a dealer/mechanic close by?
I work at a golf course and we've had a number of zero turns. A few years back the course purchased two husqvarnas, commercial grade, identical mowers. Boss was skeptical about buying husqvarna, but the deal was too good to pass up. One turned ou to be a fantastic mower, no problems, still using it today. The other one was ran for a summer, constantly needed work, turned out to be junk. Last year we purchased a Toro Z-Master, a $30,000 mower. For that kind of money you'd think you have a pretty good product. This particular mower has not been a good mower, lots of issues. but the exact same mower sitting on the showroom floor was probably an excellent mower!

I have a 64 inch Snapper commercial mower. It runs great, but the blades are really hard to remove. I had to buy two 36 inch breaker bars to get them off.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.
