Our verdict
Bobcat ZT3000 52
The ZT3000 is the mower Bobcat points homeowners and light-commercial buyers toward, and it brings real build for the money. The TufDeck Pro cutting system uses a fabricated deck with heavy spindle supports, Hydro-Gear ZT-3100 transaxles give smooth control, and a spring-suspension seat with vibration control keeps it comfortable. A three-year, thousand-hour warranty backs it. It is not the full commercial machine the pricier ZT6000 is, and the seat is not a full-suspension unit. For a couple of acres and a buyer who wants the Bobcat name and a durable cut without commercial pricing, it lands in a sensible spot.
