Well, after a year or so investigating, I finally bit the bullet yesterday and ordered the 61" Gizmow. They are not being manufactured right now, but I found a dealer who said he can get it. It's supposed to arrive next week.
Last year it was so late by the time I got any grass growing that I decided to keep my Cub Cadet SLT-1554. But the grass came on like gangbusters this spring. The other day I must have cleared the outlet ten times. That was the last straw.
I looked at the Cub Cadet 48" and 60". They seemed OK, but the 60" did not have cruise control, and the foot pedal was stiff enough to be a problem for me. I have my fingers crossed that the Gizmow will fill the bill.
