Best commercial mower under 8500

Thanks everyone for the replys so far. I would like to demo the Z Master sometime, and possibly the exmark. I have a Ferris dealer as well but I don't think I've ever seen a lawn company use them... I wonder why.

The Toro and Exmark are basically the same mower, there both owned and made by Toro. The Z master and the Lazer Z are basically the same. The Exmark will run you more money though.

No, just no dealer support in case there is a mechanical problem. I have never seen a mechanic shop in the back of tractor supply.

I don't think you would have an issue with getting one worked on. Any dealer should be able to work on them, the dealer I use works on them and he doesn't seem to have problems with parts that I know of.

I see a lot of Ferris PRO 60's used by lawn company's around here, but they are over 10,000 dollars.

Lawn companies use ferris and snapper pro mowers here. The is2100 has the best ride I have ever been on. The icd deck cuts great as well. That's what is on my s150xt. Very good mowers. For 6k you can get a snapper pro s150xt with 48" icd deck, fx series engine, zt5400 hydros, 10 gallon fuel capacity, flat free front tires, and 23x9.5x12 rear tires. Can't get all that on a z master for anywhere near that price unless you own horses. The is2100 52" will cost close to the top of your budget, but has everything plus the independent suspension.

I think it depends on or your the location as to what make mower is being used. In the 8 going on 9 years I've had the business I don't think I've ever seen but maybe two Ferris and a couple of JD and I've never seen a Snapper being used commercially or other wise. The big knock on those type units is there weight. And I don't understand why people put such an emphasis on the size of drives when in reality it doesn't mean all that much.
