Hey, fellow forum members!
Our Ferris is an ancient one :tongue: one of the first ones to have a sulky seat attached to the back. I'm not sure what model it is, and I'll try to get some pics posted soon. We paid $600 CAD for it about 3 years ago, and that seems to have been way too much for the amount of work we have to put into it. Looks like we'll be shopping around for a new one in the near future. I worked in lawn maintenance for almost 4 years, so I think I know a bit about mowers :tongue:

Re: Intro from another Ferris Owner
Have you considered using tiger blades? They cut your clippings into much smaller pieces that hide way better in your lawn.

New Ferris owner here in Indiana. I picked up a new IS700Z with 61" deck for a fathers day gift to myself lol. I have just under 5 acres to mow and it was getting really old trying to keep up on a 42" Craftsman YS4500 riding mower. 5 - 6 hours of cutting on that Craftsman and it is approaching 11 years old with 512 hours on it. Recently I've been spending as much time fixing it as I have been cutting the grass so I figured it was time to upgrade to a commercial mower. I looked at the Scag Patriot, the Husqvarna MZT 61, and the Ferris IS700Z. I decided on the Ferris mainly because of it's ride quality and my local dealer is excellent. I might have gone with the Scag but my local Scag dealer leaves a lot to be desired in the customer service department.

Hi I have a IS2500Z Diesel that I use to mow just under 4 acres. I have some pretty intense hills and have been toying with the idea of adding tracks to my mower for side hill stability and traction. 
Just want to say thank you for the chance to share with those who have the same interest. I bought new Ferris IS2100EFI last year and simply love it. Located in South Carolina which has a long grass growing season.
I've purchased a IS2600Z with Yanmar diesel engine and it's time for my first oil change. Can anyone recommend what synthetic oil and appropriate filter to use? Live in PA and cutting only about 4 acres per week.
Thanks in advance!
