I have a Deere 54" zero turn, 25 hp Kawasaki. Basic machine, no extra heavy duty, no whistles or bells. About half the price of an xmark. I'm in my fifth year with it. I mow about 8 acres, much of which is semi-wooded (sticks, pine burrs and straw, roots, sweet gum balls---all hidden in a cloud of dust). I can't imagine that very many people put their mower through much rougher treatment on a regular basis. I put it into places where I really ought to use my tractor and rotary cutter. Point is, that little JD takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. I've only had to replace blades and a belt. I may be wrong, but I just don't see the necessity for a half-inch welded deck on a Humvee chassis.
Side note: I wonder if you folks are as amused as I am about the guys who just have to have a big zero turn mower when they only have a quarter acre lot. They never really get to open it up.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
