Uncle Alvah: Absolutely, and absolutely worth it!
If YOU have a lot of lawn like "I" do then buy a John Deere "Accel-Deep" Model with 54" dual deck and the "Power-Bagger" option and "don't look back"!
This machine is one of the top five mechanical devices I have have ever bought in my 73 years on earth (and I have bought thousands of them!)!
Indeed the "zero turn" John Deere has cut my lawn mowing time from 4 hours (with a regular lawn tractor!) to 1 1/2 hours with the giant John Deere zero turn mower.
Go "zero turn" - absofrigginlutely.
Buy American.
