OK, I must admit it...I am. I had more fun cutting my grass today than I've ever had. I broke down and bought an Exmark Zero-turn mower. Looked at tons of different makes, but this one is built like a tank. Have bought new cars that cost less, but this will be the mower to last me the rest of my life. Mowed my yard in less than 1/3 of the time of my John Deere lawn tractor (and I was going SLOW getting used to the track of the new one). The technology that goes into these things is pretty amazing, turns on a dime (actually had to slow down as I cut a few "divots" cornering). Very user-friendly and serviceable (even the hydraulics). The ride is good, and it even has a cupholder for my Bitburger. Cleaned, waxed & detailed after I was finished. I normally don't go "Tim Allen" over lawn implements, but this thing will have you going Aaargh, Aaargh, Uhhh, Aagh it's so much fun.
