How Many Hours on Your Zero Turn

[PondPopper]

From the net:
Bet it will all depend on how well it is taken care of.


Two thousand hours is generally the number you'll hit without any major repairs. One guy hit 7,000 on a Ferris when another guy's Exmark only hit half of that. My cousin's Ferris started having problems at 1,800 hours.F

2006 grasshopper. Hour meter quit a few years ago with 1200ish. New meter has 150 on it. Not sure how many hours were put on it the few years the meter was out.

2019 hustler x one with 330ish hours. Change the oil, plugs, air filter etc. before I put it up in the fall/winter. I run over lots of limbs so I change the blades a couple times a year

I bought a grass hopper in 2004, I don’t know how many hours it has, but it’s a bunch.
I kept my business , road side, my yard and the church yard mowed with it, 20 hp Koehler engine.
it’s on one of my places now and we still use it.
I have two other ones on the other places, bad boy and a cub cadet , they are fairly new.

I have a Hustler raptor SD54 i bought new when we moved into this house back in 2016. I currently have over 400 and the only issue I have had is spindles. Kawasaki motor has been great.

What is a "lot" of hours on a zero turn?

I have a Hustler Raptor SD 54". I bought it October 2018. As of today it has 192 hours. I have changed the oil twice. Changed the fuel filters twice. Changed the hydraulic oil and filters once. I have changed the belt once. I have sharpened the blades 3 times. I cut one of the rear tires a couple of years ago. I replaced both of them at that time.

Don’t know about the hours but it sounds like it’s been well taken care of Mike. That type of maintenance can keep a machine young.

I have a 2100 ferris that I bought in 2017, has the 25.5 kawasaki twin on it. Just replaced the battery yesterday for the 3rd time. My front yard is almost 3 acres, and it has around 60 something hours on it. Back in those days they hooked the hour meter to the pto so it only counts when the blades are turning. I should have changed that when it was new.

2015 Raptor SD 54" bought in 2016 new, 290 hrs. Maintained fluids/filters per schedule. Had to replace the brackets last year to stouter ones and was past the time for Hustler financial involvement. Been a good mower powered by Kawasaki.

I don’t look at the hours, I just go with how it starts, runs, and cuts. If something goes wrong, I get it fixed. I change oil once a year and blow air cleaner out after every mowing, blow all the crap off the mower too. Blades are sharpened about the middle of mowing season and changed when the oil is changed. My first Hustler ran 15 years or more then I gave it to my son, he still mows with it. My new one ain’t as good as the older one was, I can see that already. I now wish I had moved up into the lower tier of commercial mowers.

I'm cheap, I still use my FIL's hand-me-down 1984 Dixon SpeedZTR. I have no idea how many hrs it has, but it's a bunch. Looks like this one

John Deere Z920M. Bought in ‘15. Just routine maintenance plus I cut the deck belt. Mow just under 4 acres of tough grass every 5 days if it’s not too wet. I keep 3 sets of blades in rotation. By the end of the season, they’re shot and I replace them eachSpring. Just bought a new Z930M with a 60” mulch on demand deck, so now wife and I can race when we mow‼️🤣
The ‘15 model is still going strong. No telling how many hours, but it’s a bunch.
