I`m in the market for a new Zero turn. I cut 2 acres at home every 7-10 days but it is on a good hill and rough. I also have multiple rentals that I need to cut from time to time. I would like to have the option to pull a lawn roller and Aerator from time to time. So I have looked at every mower with the 3xxx drives and narrowed it to a few options. I would like to know your opinions. cut quality isant a big concern, comfort and cost to maintain are my biggest concern. I would like this to be my last mower!
option one Ferris IS700 has 3400 drives 52" deck kaw for $6500 brigs for $6100
Pro is I like the bigger drives
con cost and Im worried about wear on suspension, all the moving parts look to be issues waiting to happen
option 2 Exmark Radius E Exmark power 60" 3100 drives with upgraded suspension seat for free at $5999
Pro is seat it rides nice and looks to be bare bones down to work basics
Con worried about the engine. dealer says they have never had a single issue (funny thing they all say that about everything but have waiting list to get your mower into the service dept)
Option 3 2012??? Ferris IS1500 5900607 52" 25hp Kaw FH721 has 300 hr asking $3800
Any advice on these? I know it has separate pumps and drives is that good or bad?
Also anyone have a Spartan??? A friend of mine says I should by one I like the ride and looks just worried about the fact they are new.
