Considering all three, Exmark and Ferris in 48, and the Spartan in a 54 as it does not come in a 48 or 52. Like the Suspension of the Ferris, but the Frames of the other two seem to be more durable. Just built house on 1 acre. Current mower is a Snapper Self Propelled walk behind that I purchased back in 1999 and repowered with a Honda a few years ago so I keep my mowers for a very long time.
 
Keep the Snapper. It will outlast any new rider you can buy today.

If it was me, I would look for an older JD, SCAG or Toro 48" walk behind with BELT drive.
 
slomo - we talked back in 2020 when I was installing the GXV160 on my deck. Still love and use that mower. New yard is just way to much for it.

I pulled the trigger on the Ferris 300s 48", $1700 cheaper then the Radius. Same engine and trans, plus the Ferris has suspension and my yard is not a golf course.
