I have dealer pricing on Ferris for the state of Kansas. I took a lot of digging but I know exactly how much the dealers pay and make off these machines. If your interested I'll see what the IS700z and 2100z cost them and post it. Shipping cost is most likely the biggest difference. Neat fact about pronunciation lol. The super z is looking very tempting...should last you 1000's of hours.The dealer said the 2100z is 1700 more than the 700z. So around 9000 + tax. I'm not sure what engine is on the 2100z in stock, but the 700z has the B&S 810cc Vanguard. You're right, the prices may be a regional issue. I've checked other dealers and they are a couple of hundred higher. I stopped by one "dealership" (co-op that carries Ferris) and they had a 2000z for 9200 + tax. Yes, a 2000z. The Super Z is more than I wanted to spend, but if it's a good deal and if will last me many years, then I can justify the cost. Thanks, DSepe. P.S. In Mississippi, we pronounce Ohio, I O W A. Different regional dialects, I suppose.
Good to know. Thanks. Do you know if your friend also has the rear anti scalp wheels? I think they are an option?

I think with your description I would go to a Bush Hog dealer and look over the line.
I believe he does, but honestly i havent paid attention. I dont on mine though. Not an issue unless you are mowing in reverse on uneven terrain. I had an Issue while striping up hill, but i corrected it after the first time i mowed with it. Does just fine without them, but if they are not expensive it may be worth getting them.
I have the excel sheet I could post later but since I'm mobile I'll post a few. In Ohio I got the IS600z Kawasaki for $5250 the dealer freighted it in for $150 since he didn't have one on hand. He told me he would make $500 off the sale...based on my calculations $536 to be exact lol. So I'd say more or less this is the nationwide average. I just happened to find the Kansas spreadsheet. Don't let the dealers fool you into thinking they have the lowest possible price...most of them stick to retail. I had 2 dealers quote me $5800 for the Kawa IS600z...yikes!! Not even retail lol just based on demand.If you can post them, I would be interested in knowing. Is the dealer cost nation wide and the cost difference dealer to dealer or is dealer cost higher farther from Kansas (shipping cost, as you said)?
I asked the dealer the price and he said around $250. I am interested in a more comfortable ride. I've got a bad disc in my lower back and a day on the tractor or mower can leave me bent over the next morning. I thought the combo of the suspension seat and FFs would make the most difference.
As for throwing them in on the deal, I dont know. He seems to have come off the mower price quite a bit. He said it lists for $9200. All he can do is say no, though.
Yep looks like they went full retail on the IS700z and 2100z price you stated earlier. Ferris will hate me for knowing Dealer pricing...should be locked up tight but this little spreadsheet found the internet.
