We have three of the Toro 7210 ZTR mowers for the course, 18 72" Grasshoppers, and four of the commercial landscaper style Toro ZTR's for our landscape guys. Our Toro's here on the course do circles around the other two and are much more solid of a machine. Transport speed on the 7210's is awesome, and makes it very quick to drive out to where you left off in the morning. We have had two of the 7210's for about 4 years now, and other than the occasional spindle going out, haven't had any other issues. And, the reason why we got those, they were cheaper by about $2,500 than the Toro 328 outfront rotary mowers. I can also tell you that our 7210's are borrowed weekly to mow hillsides that the other two can't stay on.
That all being said, I have considered and looked into the Kubota ZTR's for our next purchase. At about $3,500 cheaper than the Toro's they offer bigger engines and are built like a beat as well. I'd like to hear back on anyone that runs those to see how they like them.
