I don't have enough yard to justify the price of a zero turn and my mower has to tow the firewood wagon up the trail to the house. A zero turn won't fit and they don't tow trailers.

Sprung for a new Troy Bilt Pony very similar to my old Huskee LT4200 that served me so well through the years.  I live in a subdivision and like Kelly can't justify anything Zero Turn or much over a 42 inch cut deck.  My Daughter lives next door and the Son in Law have always shared the mower through the years.  His check for half of the purchase price on the Pony was a welcome sight considering what lawn tractors are costing now days.  Comparing the new mower to the old mower is interesting, although they are identical in most ways you can really see how the build quality has gone down in 20 years, more plastic parts and thinner deck metal for example.  This one probably won't do 20.  but at my age I won't be around to complain. 

Back is improving, second visit to the Chiropractor this morning.  My first time seeing one and so far I am pleased with the results.  Not Voo-Doo as a lot of regular drug dispensing physicians claim.....
