Weight and build quality, I have used those smaller homeowner zero turns, they are not the greatest they have a very poor weight balance. Fill the rear tires with liquid that will help a fair amount. The machines basically don't have enough weight to keep them planted.tjnamtiw wrote:Besides price and gauge of the steel, what differentiates the 'residential' from 'industrial' versions?

They are the older red ones, by IH. Identical twins, with hydrostatic trans, 44 inch mowers and snow plows. Also a two man post hole digger, two big gocarts, both two seater with torque converters and bigger tires. I just bought a utility tractor for mowing & digging, and the grandkids are moving from carts to 4 wheeler.
