Hello everyone. As you can see, I'm in the market for a new zero turn. Have always used 50 hp tractor and 6 foot finish mower but a lot has changed and looking to go with a zero turn. Looking at two and maybe a third.
Have a Kubota dealership two miles away and looked at the new 421 with 60" and 24 hp kaw.
Also looked at the Ferris IS700Z with 61" and 27 hp b&s. This can also be had with the 24 hp kaw.
Basically the Briggs Ferris is $500 cheaper than the Kubota, while the Kaw Ferris $200 is more than the Kubota.
Anybody experienced with these models or have any other suggestions or pointers? There is some roll to my ground but I wouldn't say it is hilly by any means.
(to add. Got a quote for a Husqvarna mzt61 with 24 hp kaw that is about $1500 cheaper than the cheapest of the three above, IIRC but have not personally looked at it. Dealer 30 miles away)
