Cub Cadet XZ3 - thoughts?

[JWB]

Hello,

 

I'm in the market for a used 48" ride on mower that will mulch and cope with coarse pasture grass.  Got up to £3k to spend on the right machine.

 

I've been researching Cub Cadets, but it appears from my research (only can find stuff from forums over in the US), they don't seem to favour this brand any more. 

 

The particular model I'm looking at is a XZ3.

 

I just wondered if anyone had any experience with them over in the UK? 

 

How do they compare with Stiga Parks for example?

 

Thanks!

You could probably get a brand new Ariens Zoom, or perhaps Ariens Ikon for that sort of money. Might be worth checking them out.

Thanks Lurkalot - I haven't heard of Ariens before in all honesty. Are they comparable to the likes of Stiga? They do seem to be a tad over budget though. 

 

Any other offerings/thoughts? 

 

Btw it doesn't have to be zero turn...
