Exmark. There is a reason you see them on most pro's trailers. In reality it's more of what line you buy in each brand. Be sure to get a welded deck and not a stamped deck. A commercial grade mower will last a lot longer.
I know several friends that mow commercially and they all love them. Also, my grandfather and Dad both have Hustlers. They are good mowers and will haul ass :****:
BTW, all the guys that mow commercaiy have had Toro's and ExMarks etc; they sold those and now have Hustlers and say they won't go back.
Different strokes for different folks.We get demos once a year and I couldn't stand riding a hustler..they have a 72 inch front mount deck with a diesel that's awesome though haha
