I purchased the 42" mower last year, after waiting for our chepo rider to finally give up. I logged hours online reading reviews of various mowers and went with the X Mark mower. I don't plan on buying another mower for a long time so I wanted the most reliable and durable mower for the money. It took a few mowing's for me to get used to the ZTR controls but after that, its something you don't even have to think about.
Our yard is mostly flat with a couple of small steep hills, which I have to use a push mower on. My ONLY complaint for this mower is the lack of traction when making quick turns, really poor when its wet. I believe different tires would make this a moot point.
Our yard looks better than it ever has and I'm VERY pleased with the quality of cut. This mower has plenty of power and unless your mulching tall wet grass, your not going to slow this thing down much.
I have cut my mowing time to less than half of what it used to be and by the time I am done, I can use my string trimmer to touch things up. My push mower only comes out to cut our steep hills and honestly, no rider would be good for that. This past weekend, my neighbor who has the same size yard, started mowing 15 minutes before me. I was able to mow the entire yard, get my trimmer out, use it, put it away, and sit down with a cold beer while they continued to mow.
I mow an acre and I can get 3 cuttings from a fill up. The engine starts easily, runs smooth, develops a lot of power and cuts very cleanly at full speed (without the mulching kit).
This mower costs more than the ones in big box stores but they are the difference between a common Chevy and a Cadillac when it comes to quality and function.

Comments about Exmark Quest S-Series:
I have 5 acres of land so the 60in cut helps me to do my job more quickly. Of course, the eXmark I just purchased runs great, it should after all it is a brand new mower. But, I was amazed to hear it producing much less noise then my last mower did, this was a plus. However, I did find the oil filters to be more pricey then the ones on my last mower. Over all I have been satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this product to others.

Comments about Exmark Quest S-Series:
I just purchased the Quest in July and so far it is an awesome machine. I just did my first oil change and it was very easy. I am a female and I retired two years ago. I use this machine to cut our 3 acres (with lots of trees and dips) in the country. What an improvement over the old Kabota tractor and bushhog I had been using. So much faster and the place looks like a park now. Love it !!
