I am a soon to be owner of a 2.8 acre home property(flat, mostly open). I have narrowed my search and driven the following mowers and would like opinions on maintenance ease, deck size, durability, speed. Consider that all these mowers are roughly the same price(not worried to much about it) and the dealers have a great reputation. I drove them all on grass, parking lot, gravel, no cutting due to wet conditions.
Grasshopper 526V-52 52" with 810 cc B&S Vanguard
-Liked the fold up deck for ease of cleaning and blade change, my uncle has had great luck with his Grasshopper(albeit his is a much higher model$$)
Ferris IS 700Z 61" with Kawasaki FS730V
-Rode nice, but dealer is 40 minutes away(farthest). Not sure the suspension is all cracked up on the 700z compared to the 2100z/3200z
Gravely Proturn 60 series 60" with Kawasaki FS730V
-Most comfortable seat for me.
If I went grasshopper will it really make a difference going down from 60" deck vs 52". I have really no obstacles and our gate is big enough for all machines to get in the fenced part of yard.
I liked parts about them all and just want to make a wise decision. Thanks in advance for the opinions.
