How about a Jacobsen? This example have been sold for $3000 at the crown asset auction in Kingston, On, Canada in May 2014.

One of his customers brought in a 2072 for us to get running so he could sell it--it never left. He wasn't happy about me buying it but nothing he could really say. I went through the deck and driveline replacing anything that looked worn. Now he loves that machine. I've pretty much laid the law down to stop mowing at my house as I have a teenager that needs the experience. I also picked up a 982. Now 2 of us can get out there with a pair of 60" decks and knock out our yards in short order. Glad to see you realized time is more important than grass and bought something to give you more time

I've often wondered how good a Cadet Tank zero turn is?
the cub cadet tank is just a rebadged Lesco. lesco makes a good machine but i see allot with hydro pump issues. me personally i like ferris the best but i love a good orange zero turn!

Never heard of Lesco so I googled it, couldn't find anything on the company other than MTD/Cadet made the mowers for them. Apparently they had ties to Scag at one time, now Deere has something to do with them? I think I'll just stick with my Supers!

I owned a Lesco ZTR. I couldn't get parts for it. IIRC, as John said, Cub made them for Lesco and I think Deere purchased the Lesco line so Cub quit making parts for them. I ended up trading it for an 1863.

I was told to stay away from Kubota Diesel ZTR's. They have(or had) pump/transmission issues. They were good for about 600 hours and then it was time to dump a pile of money into them.

+1 on the Scag. If I ever breakdown and get a ZTR it will be a Scag or Exmark.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
