Hello, I'm looking at buying a new Ferris ISX 800 and would appreciate any pros or cons. (Especially cut quality in all conditions). I do about 7 yards and currently have a 20 year old bobcat walk behind, but I'm tired of trying to pull it backwards. The price I was quoted is $7700(good/bad?) Other options? Thanks in advance, Dan

Yes, real good mower. The 3 link susp. up front with those soft coil-overs front and back, ride excellent. I'm the service tech in the back shop but, they sell a lot of them up front at the dealership i'm at!

Ferris is made by Briggs who just filed a chapter 11 so have a good look around, you might find some real cheap fire sale ones very soon.

Ferris....IMO, they are one of the "top tier" mowers on the market. Good cut, built tough and have an outstanding warranty!

I was quoted $6700 for a 52” with a Kawasaki fs730 in Georgia. No suspension seat

I have an is3100z, w/36 hp engine, excellent mower. I feel the ferris mowers are no nonsense well built machines. I have my hydros cranked up to about 13mph and i can cut at full speed and get a good cut even in tall grass with the ICD deck.

That's about right....a Kaw engine raises the cost $300 - $400 of any mower
