a couple of months ago. My dad had a scag that I just loved but my brother got that when dad passed away this past January. I still had to cut quite a bit of grass (including my dad's place) so I was looking for a replacement and came across Ferris brand mowers. Nice thing about them is they are reasonably priced commercial quality mowers with several engine options including Kawasaki and they have a pretty nifty looking suspension system on them. I ended up finding a used Scag with less than 200 hours on it that worked perfectly for a decent price (they are out there - just have to be patient and willing to work for them). If I hadn't found that deal I expect the Ferris would have been the choice for me. Scag is pretty tough to beat though and doesn't have a bad ride but I suspect that Ferris would have been smoother. This is similar to the one I was looking at but the one I wanted was the 48 inch and the price the dealer was talking was a good bit lower than that. https://sleequipment.com/ferris-is7...SDl7gQG6EoriQtPwNP7L6aTKJm92Po9AaAmioEALw_wcB Another good thing about this dealer is he was offering 48 months free financing on the one I was looking at. Pretty decent deal I thought.
New Scag like mine I paid 4300 for with 189 hours on it is right at 9K new from a dealer. The one I found had never been stored outside and never been used commercial - just a homeowner that their situation changed and didn't need a lawnmower any longer. Used is the way to go if you can find the right deal.
Need a mower for residential use but cutting about 3 - 5 acres. What would be the best mower? I want the Kaw engine no matter the mower and I want one that rides good as I know a lot of them will bounce you off the seat and are bad for back issues.
I bought a Toro 36" walk behind from a member on here a few years back.. 14 horse Kawasaki . Best mower I've ever had. Cut my yard work time in half and I still get some exercise chasing that thing around. If and when it finally dies. I'll be buying another walk behind.
Can always buy a velke to hop on if you get lazy. I had a one wheel type velke and it was pretty fun. Lol.
It actually came with a velke but it wouldn't tote me.. One wheel model Bout the size of a skateboard wheel.. It acted like a bottom plow when I tried to used it I'm tall but not that big a boy either.
Glad to see it is doing good by you. You got a deal.I bought a Toro 36" walk behind from a member on here a few years back.. 14 horse Kawasaki . Best mower I've ever had.
