0-turn mower vs. tractor style mower

[TXTad]

I always wondered if those could tow stuff. That is a redneck setup if I've ever seen one and I salute you.

Meanwhile im using our $50 Craftsman DLT3000 bought at an estate sale to mow after our $100 Cub Cadet finally stopped after 10yrs.

New tires, belt and battery has it running like a top.

Both of my Toros came with a trailer hitch. My old Timecutter 4235 has a small pin hitch for a small cart or trailer with no stated maximum weight, but I'm sure they expect it to be low. My new Z Master 2000 has a 2" receiver hitch, but a GTW of 250 pounds and no more than 49 lbs tongue weight. I'm sure you can go a little heavier without problems as long as you're not being ridiculous.

They did? 250lbs doesn't sound like much but a wagon full of leaves or something to spread lime isn't very heavy

I just inherited a newer Husqvarna riding mower yesterday when my biological father passed. Horrible way to get a mower.

Sorry to you and your family 45guy.

It is not much. I had to read it twice to make sure it wasn't 250 kg, but it is not.

I suspect it can handle more if you're smart about it, but I bet it wouldn't take much trailer weight to cause major problems if you're trying to pull across a hill, so they went with a very conservative limit.

If you buy a 42" zero turn do not buy the 10 or 11 hp engine. In tall or heavy grass will bog down, know this from using one. Sure wish that I had bought the 23 hp.
