    They are if all you want is a larger lawnmower. I use a little JD 1023r as a lawnmower. But it also has to do things like mount a landscape rake to a 3 point hitch and even a 6’ blade for road maintenance. And move things like small wagons and trailers. Some people put front end loaders and snowblowers on them too. Not something you can do with a zero turn.

        How’s the used tractor market down there? You guys must have some 40 year old Ferguson 30/35 tractors around? I understand those things are eternal.

          There’s a market in the more populace places but where i live not so much. And by the time you freight something across the whole country you have spent so much money.

            Yeah if you can’t buy it local it’s very seldom worth the shipping. Still, keep you eye open. You never know.
