Ferris Owner Check-In --- Read This First!

Same with flat land here. I don't find many 72" decks on dealer lots around here. I tried a Toro 61" Z master a month or so ago on my place and it was considerably faster and made mowing a bit more fun too. Sounds like you'll be getting a fresh mower if it's still in the crate. Looking forward to seeing it!

I got the last 72" deck this dealer had for 2018. Thumbs up to Cutting Edge Small Engine Repair in Winchester, VA for giving me a good deal on the mower. I called a lot of other dealers within 50 miles, and no one, could touch their price. Now if they would just call so I could pick up my new mower.....

I'd be interested to hear what your dealer says about your cut-out issue.

Yes I got it. I've been busy making tall grass short!

Congrats! Thanks for the pics. Sharp mower and nice yard! I see you also opted for the suspension seat which doesn't come standard on that model. Bet the seat coupled with the wheel suspension makes for a smooth ride.

GREETINGS to all Ferris mower owners! :thumbsup:

If you're new to the forum, please reply to this thread and introduce yourself and your mower

Hi, I'm John from the Virginia mountains with a Ferris IS600Z 4 years old. I call it the beast (tank was already taken by another thing around here). I like it for it's indestructible build, but am not happy with it's traction on my hills.

I figure if you're spending that kind of money on a mower, might as well buy the seat as well.

I just bought my wife a IS3200 last week. It was an older model but still new for $9,999.00, it doesn't have the oil guard on the Vanguard 32 HP Big Block. She will just be mowing our yard.

What is a good price for one of these anyway?

Just purchased a 3200 with the 37hp Vanguard, 61" deck. My dealer had a 2018 model in a crate, upgraded the seat to the new suspension model, threw in a oil filter and 5 quarts of oil, and delivery for $10,500.

Anyone have a need for a new non-suspension seat?
