Really impressed Pro z 972S EFI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mower will hang with a Ventrac about 95%.
I changed the rear tires to Carlise Versa Turf and the ride quality is so much softer. The 38.5 EFI Kawasaki engine can turn this 72" deck like nothing in deep dry grass handles wet grass too.
The best thing is the ease of the foot hydrostat control and one hand steering. I have 25 acres of WV hilly and I mean long hills steep side mowing and this baby hangs in there. I just hope I get the reliability out of it as I did with my Spartan SRT XD 32HP Vanguard oil guard unit. Not one brake down with it and had more options but the Cub Cadet wins with the steering wheel system for big acreage mowing. I run Lucas upper fuel lubricant also in the gas.

Not an owner of PRO Z but own other brands
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You really should consider offering rear discharge decks on these expensive mowers. That option just might add up with additional sales that might not exist otherwise. A number of people, who are wiling to pay for and need a commercial mower, need rear discharge decks. They add greater versatility on properties with different mowing challenges and conditions. Not everyone wants a side discharge deck.
