Q: Hi Todd, I cut a 2.6 acre lawn. I currently own a the swisher ZMax 60" 25 hp and it takes me about 2 hours to get the job done (including cleanup). My cleanup routine consists of scraping the under deck of the grass (the mulching blades made a mess). I would like to upgrade to something faster and easier to clean. At least faster. What is the fastest zero turn lawn mower available? And your recommendation please. by John DeLorenzo from Pennsylvania on April 16, 2011
A: Thanks for your inquiry. If you are looking for an upgrade look no further than this Simplicity model. It has a forward speed up to 8 miles an hour. It is very durable and is equipped with a Briggs & Stratton Extended Life Series V-Twin Engine. I wouldn't be any easier to clean, but it would be an upgrade.

Todd's Recommendation
The Simplicity ZT2648 zero turn riding mower delivers affordable commercial mowing for a landscaper who doesn’t need to run their mower every day or for a large landowner who needs to spend hours on his zero turn to care for his yard.
The Simplicity ZT2648 sports a powerful 26hp Briggs & Stratton ELS engine, so you’ll have plenty of power to get your mowing chores finished. The Hydro Gear heavy duty transmission delivers speeds up to 8 mph. This mower is designed for mowing large acreage – 3 acres or more, or for mowing a couple of different large plots in a day.
The Simplicity ZT2648 has a pivoting front axle with shocks along with front and rear suspension that combine with the large 20" X 8" rear turf saver tires for a surprisingly smooth ride. The adjustable 18" high back seat adds even more comfort for the operator that needs to spend a long day in the saddle.
The cutting deck, which is made of durable 10-gauge welded steel, converts from rear bagging, side discharging, or mulching without any tools. This feature will not only benefit businesses but residential landowners as well that don't want the hassle of using tools on their mower. It's more convenient and saves your time.
If you’ve got BIG mowing jobs that you handle on a regular basis, then the Simplicity ZT2648 is among the best choices you can make. This mower delivers a high level of quality, pro-grade features, and a reasonable price. As the name suggests, it is simple to use.
