Default Commercial mower

Every dealer claims there mowers are the best.
Are there any magazines that compare commercial mowers? Like a consumers report?

Tom
Are you looking for riding mowers or push mowers?

I get a magazine called 'Landscape Management' and they review equipment on a regular basis...the last issue reviewed a bunch of stand-up riding mowers.

Zero turn mowers like Scag and Walker and Exmark. Not Home depot 21 inch mowers

Good roundup there, but doesn't really compare reliability...

Not sure how up to date this is, but I remember it when I got my first computer around 2000.
