But the Frame and chassis will outlive the hydros and they share the same drives as the residential exmarks and bad boys. You gotta hit the 7k mark to really get anything better.

Some to share drives but better backing and warranty
Frame/chassis still not as good

Exactly why I would go with a garden tractor. You can get a much more robust tractor for much less money than a ZT. Heck, I've still got my dad's 1982 John Deere 210 he bought new. It still works as good as it did when it was new and nothings ever been done to it. How many ZT do you think you'll see running nearly 40 years from now?

I have a ZTR that has 1100 hours on it in 5 years. ZTR's are amazing. I don't know if you can hook up snow blowers and plows two of them but I don't do any of that in the south. But as far as cutting grass goes which I know plenty about and do plenty of a ZTR is light-years above a tractor for Speed and quality of cut. I cut over 60 accounts a week and there's no way I could do that with a tractor style mower.

I would suggest the mulch kit for the leaves. As long as you run them over once a week you should be able to deal with whatever material you have without having to using bagger attachment. I would only suggest a bagger attachment if you're saving the leaves for compost.

I drag the leaves on a tarp into the woods now. Honestly by the end of the season I have a pile I could hide a car under. I don't think that much leaf debris mulched into my lawn would help my turf any.

I had a 48” Ferris with mulch kit with new gator type blades I could make 8” deep leaves disappear in 1 pass!!!! They pile in spots in heavy rain drainage then you can hit them again or pick them up if you wanted.
