Picking up the IS700Z Today

[Turf n Dirt]

I didn't say that. I said that it is a nice machine for mowing a residential yard.

I would personnaly think it is commercial. ZT-3400 is commercial grade hydro.

Sorry Lawnboy, I misinterpreted what you said. It did remind me of other postings that did say they didn't feel it was a commercial mower.

I've got less than 2 hours on mine now. Love the ride, especially when I can see the front shocks working.
I mow @ 3" and it actually lays some nice stripes.

No problem!

Got any pictures of the stripes?

I've got one decent photo on my phone, but not sure how to get it to post here.
I cut again today, but the grass was over 10" tall so the discharge pretty much took care of any striping.
This picture is from today. The grass discharged nice. The mower is sitting in some of the uncut grass if you can see it.


The grass was much taller on the larger part of the property.
We've been getting nothing but rain for the past 2 weeks. Actually rained ~ 1" last night

It doesn't seem to stripe that much.

Besides the pathetic lines, the grass was really tall, ~10-12" here and over a foot on the larger part of the lawn.
It showed some ok stripes on the first cut.
I think all of the clippings were thrown over the previous pass and covered any stripping.

I'll get a better picture on my next cut.
The grass was really tall and a little wet but the Ferris really discharged the clipping nice.
I have the discharge chute on and in the down position when I mow.

Well, it did a very good job faning the clippings!
