Thanks. Yeah its alot of money but when you sit it next to a cheaper one you can see the difference. This mower has roller bearings where the other would have plastic bushings, and just small ---- like that is what drives the price up. Is it worth it? Well that comes down to opinions and I think it was definitely worth every penny

Its an ExMark LazerZ 18hp 48" deck. I've been riding Z's for about 7 years now, thats why the lines are dead straight without the amature waves or hooks. 
Yes the striper like makes a huge difference. Since your an idiot your opinion really doesn't mean much but John Deers are for ****. This will cut 10 times as nice in half the time. I'd like to see your John Deere mow at 10mph
It was expensive but had the old mower for 14 years so we figured it would be worth it to go get the best. And I like Z's becuase I've been using them for a long time. And what it comes down to is we can afford it so why not? Paid for it in cash.
The next big thing is building a 36x30 garage. i agree that john deers suck ***.
and if you wanted the best you should have got a Dixie Chopper, they are the best.
i don't know where you live, but if you do leaves, or bag, get a Trac Vac, they are the ----.
its a good quality mower overall, IMO you paid too much.

Nobody asked for your opinion on the price.
The mower was actually $5500. With the options and taxes it came to a little over $6,000 and we also got a free Redmax weed wacker with it. Please show me a better deal delivered to my door. I've cut for a year with a 72" dual motor Dixie Chopper Suburban Turban and I like the Z's better.

Re: The new impulse buy
We have a Lawncare business and we have a John Deere Industrial Z-Trac. And just so everyone one knows, New it was more then 2x Whiteys!!!
Z-Tac is definitely the way to go. In our small area we have about 3-4 companies and we are the only one with a Z-Trac. We can shave TONS of time and thereby cost because of the time savings. Cutting grass at 9mph or better saves alot of time, and the ability to turn on a time save trimming time!
Good Buy Whitey, We were looking at Exmarks but our local JD Dealer gave us an awsome finance rate!

Re: The new impulse buy
z turns ------ rule man. i run a small lawn maintenance business and i've been using a 36" bobcat-ransomes walk behind, that always outlasts my buddy's john deere 36" walk behind. lately i've been running the 48" snapper, but i like the 36 better. the 48 digs the deck into the ground on a hill alot easier than the 36 does. the z's are great, but you can't get in people's backyards sometimes, though a 36" would be necessary for any lawn company
no doubt this mower was a good buy, but i beg to differ about the striper, i think the mower does a great job of striping w/o it
