That's nice and I would even consider buying one, but it's not a tractor.

Need three point hitch, loader, PTO, and industrial tires.

When you (or someone else) makes one with equivalence to about 30 or 40hp for under $30k and, I will instantly buy it.

The ZTR is just a test platform to ensure our motor drives can handle the load swings. We specialize in the power and drive systems, so we likely won't be making complete mowers ourselves.

All of those things are certainly doable, although we will be pretty much eliminating the hydraulic system, so the PTO and loader might need to be thought out a little differently.
