I'm looking to purchase a new mower and I'm torn between a zero-turn and a traditional lawn tractor.
I've been eyeing a 42-inch zero-turn, and I love the idea of the time savings, but I also need to be able to do some light hauling around the yard. I have a small aluminum utility trailer that I'd use to move some gardening supplies or mulch, and in the fall, I'd want to use a lawn sweeper to clean up leaves. I've read somewhere that the transmission on the zero-turn isn't as robust as the ones in dedicated lawn tractors, and I'm worried about whether it can handle the extra stress of pulling a trailer and a sweeper regularly.
So that made me think if I would be better off getting something like a T2290 lawn tractor? It's an investment so I just want to get it right the first time and not have to worry about premature wear and tear. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
