All of the above mentioned brands are good. Go test drive them and get the one you like the best. I would get one from a dealer close to your house in case there are any issues. That way youre not stuck driving an hour for service.
60" Bad Boy ZTR with a 28hp Kohler.
took my 6 1/2 hour mowing job that I was doing with a 48" craftsman garden tractor down to 1.8 hrs. Love it.

What he said. Have a buddy that got one of the Lightning models with a 60" cut with 26hp Kawasaki, it will mow at 13mph.
That is impressive. Must have extremely fast BTS.
My main problem with the garden tractor was the 47 trees on the place. Trimming around them took tons of time. The Bad Boy ztr solved that problem.
If you plan on going with gas get something with a kawasaki engine. I have never heard a complaint about them. Here plenty of stories about hondas and B&S but never heard anyone say anything bad about the kawasaki. The salesguy at Marvins here in town said the first Exmark he sold had a 19 horse kawi on it and now has over 3000 hours on it. He said the mower looks like someone drug it down the highway but the motor still runs strong. I have never used anyone of the ones you mentioned. I have an 48" Everide if it ever gets stolen I would buy another one in a heartbeat. The deck is 3/16 and 1/4" plate steel welded together no stampings and has never failed me. I mow 5.5 acres weekly and it takes 2.25 hours.
