I've been doing some research to purchase a new ZTR mower I had it down to three machines a 2010 Husqvarna PZ6029 60'' deck for 7795.00 in CT 300 miles round trip to pick it up, and a 2010 bobcat pro cat with a 61'' deck for 7799.00 at the same dealer in CT, and a ferris IS1500 with a 61'' deck for 7699.00 in NY I decided to give the local guys a chance to match or come close to that price I would rather give my money to the locals dealers, I went to a scag-walker dealer and they didn't come close to the price on a Tiger cat with a 61'' deck this morning I went to another dealer and they had a massive selection snapper,X-mark,Toro,Bob cat,Grasshopper,Husqvarna,and Ferris I looked and purchased the IS2000 with a 61'' deck for 8100.00, I pick it up tomorrow,I'm very happy with this mover it takes me most of a day to mow now with the old and trusty 42'' Husq tractor I will post some pics later...
Pulled the trigger on a 2011 Ferris IS2000 today...

You will save more than half the time with that machine over the old tractor
I recently bought this mower too. The best thing you can do is buy the suspension platform for that seat. It makes a huge difference and its a bargain at $150. Your dealer should stock them. It used to take me 2hours to cut my lawn with a John Deere 60" tractor, and now it takes me 35 mins. You'll see a huge time savings. Good luck

I have had mine for a short time. Only 40 hours on the clock. Has cut my mowing time down to a third. I have added a spray tank to the front with a foot switch and mounted a vertical spray nozzle on the left side. Great for doing my fence line. 30 acres mow over 10 with the Ferris. Tractor and Brush Hog what is left.
