The new lawn tractors are junk.

f(Starting with Ariens snowblowers) I'm looking forward to seeing them as I'm in the market for a new snowblower myself.

When I sold my x300 and blower.

I got an ego battery blower. (Yes I was skeptical of battery power and all that plastic)

It's been 3 years now. Simply amazing.

I was so impressed I bought a second one for work place

I will NEVER go back to a gasser.

Seen to many big box store repairs that rival the purchase price for what amounts to be throw away junk.
I'll be adding: Ariens, Gravely, and Stiga to our line up this fall (Starting with Ariens snowblowers) I'm looking forward to seeing them as I'm in the market for a new snowblower myself.

I have an Ariens Platinum SHO 30" and it's a beast. 414cc motor chews through everything whether drifted 2 feet high, or wet and always blows it at least 50 feet away (usually more). Starts right up every time and is nicely weighted, auto-turn feature works flawlessly as well. I love mine and would highly recommend it (and I've had a few blowers over the years). The Ariens boards show similar high praise with the EFI models the only one's with some issues.

Have had the Ego blower for 3 years now myself and it's amazing
Two stage & will throw snow 50' with ease. It eagerly eats the dreaded bottom of the driveway stuff and spits it out. No "will it start when I need it" worries after the first snowfall!

Did my 4th cut with my Z530M zero-turn and realized even though I'm not a lawn guy I usually actually enjoy the time I spend on my old lawn tractor and I just don't enjoy it while using my ZT. Called the dealer and asked if they'd do a swap for a tractor which they said was fine. New X380 54" on it's way to replace my new Z530M 54". Partly because my property just wasn't as good of a fit for a ZT as I thought but also probably because I've run a lawn tractor for over 40yrs and maybe I'm too old to change.

How big is your property?

kinda like when it comes to family haulers, everybody knows a minivan is the most practical choice, but nobody wants one. They choose an SUV

Zero turns make more sense, but tractors are way cooler.

I’ve used a zero turn helping at a friends place . They are fantastic for grass cutting . There is something to be said for sitting a tractor , feeling all farmery.

You can't tow trailers around or pull a dump cart with a ZT.
