You can buy upgraded suspension seats for about any mower
Hustler has a Flex Fork option for their mowers as well as a lot of other brands
Dealer makes/breaks how good a mower is when you have problems
Worked over 20 years now in 2 different school districts buying and maintaining everything from push mowers up to 16' 80+ hp diesel riders
Worse zero turn came from a large JD dealer took all summer to get to 8 hrs on clock, 5 trips back to shop. Identical mower bought 6 months before with higher serial number went over 2000 hrs with no problems at all.
Dealer, Dealer, Dealer is what counts, as any brand will make a bad one sometime
You are so right. My brother in law had a problem with his John Deere z turn and they sold him a new battery when they had it but it was a safety switch that was the problem that they should have caught when it was in. He had to have it go back in for that switch and they charged him for pick up and delivery each time even though they never fixed it the first time.
