Zero Turn Mowers
What brand of a zero turn mower doe's the best job at cutting grass?

I now have a zero turn mower but if I go full speed it doe's not cut the grass perfect, there are some blades of grass that don't get cut.

I have a Hustler Z turn mower. They were the inventor of the zero turn lawn mower and I love it. Mine is a Fastrak model, which is the consumer model made for people cutting once or twice a week with lawns around 1 to 5 acres. The cost is fairly hefty ($5,300) but not much more than the much less quality Zturn mowers you will see a Lowe's or Home Depot. It gets much more expensive if you are to look into the professional lawn mowers. ($6-8k) Since mine mows with a 54 inch cut at 8 mph it works great.

If your yard is flat you can go with a larger cut, but if you have a hilly landscape you will want a smaller deck.
Something else to consider is what brand of Motor. You will usually find a choice of motor in a higher end mower. I have looked around and if you check out many of the professional landscapers around here you will find what ever brand lawn mower - the engines are usually made by Kawasaki. I guess that they have the most torque.

To keep the cost down I actually went in partners with a neighbor friend. I wouldn't recommend that to just anyone, but we wrote up a contract and it works for us.

Best of luck in your research.
