Gravely ZT HD 52 or Toro Titan MX5400

The reviewer is a small lawn business owner looking to expand and is considering the Gravely ZT HD 52 or Toro Titan MX5400. They are impressed with the reinforced spindles and thickness of the decks on the Gravely. However, they find out that the Toro also has sealed bearing aluminum spindles and a 3 year/300 hr warranty. They decide to go with the Toro because they know the owner of the dealership and it is a commercial grade product at a residential price. They also mention looking at other brands like Kubota, Hustler, Exmark, and Husqvarna. The reviewer is also looking for recommendations on a trimmer.
