Ive been very pleased with my ferris this summer. It cut my mowing time from 8 to less than 2 hours. Im looking forward to using the bagger attachment to suck up all the leaves that are sure to start falling in a week or two

I've been really happy with my Ferris. It handles the bank behind the barn reasonably well, I had to switch to some more agressive tires as the turf tires just wouldn't stick if there was any moisture at all. I've gone from almost a full day with the old simplicity to just under three hours with...

I had considered those just for the slope behind my barn. I couldn’t find one anywhere to take a look at. I watched several videos and they seem to be very good on the steep slopes.

I'd be glad to have a Custom carry Kimber too!

the local kubota dealer that I’m not a huge fan of sells the gravely mowers. I stopped in there to put eyes on several brands at the same time. They had kubota, husqvarna, Wright, and Gravely machines on the floor. I was very impressed with the gravely machines, they were very well built and...

Yes the fellow I bought it from had sold a large property in Gilford and moved to a home in an association that does all the outside maintenance for you. He had recently sold his excavation business and knew the value of buying good machinery up front and then taking care of it. This machine...

Thanks! Agreed on the cost but I think in the long run it’s money well spent. This machine should have durability to last many many years the way I’m going to use it plus the time it’s going to save me has value too. Whether it’s time I’m able to use to make a few bucks or time I use to go...

I have a reasonably flat area, it’s wet in places now as it’s mud season here. In a week or two when it’s dry I’m going to use the bagger and dethatching rake to start cleaning up for spring. There is one slope behind my barn that is in question. I’ve measured it at 18* and the mower says 15*...

i bought the used ferris i mentioned in a post earlier in this thread. It seems to be a top tier mower, and given the acessories that the buyer threw in i thought it a great deal. I got the 52" IS 2100 and got the turbo pro max bagger and a small trailer and a blade sharpener and a few other...

I wish i could say but once i get a chance to run mine a bit i'll let you know. It's going to be a couple months before we get a chance to really put it hrough its paces. I would suppose its all going to be dependent on your field and how rough it is. I watched a ton of videos on you tube while...

Glad to hear Ferris is staying around as I bought the Ferris IS 2100 I went to see last Friday. I was concerned about availability, several of the dealers I had gone too mentioned issues keeping mowers in stock. I really like the look of the Ferris mowers I saw at the dealer and when I looked at...

Thanks Boss, I feel really good about this one! Even better is my wife came along to check it out and she said "its a no brainer" which makes me feel really good about it!

Carl, I was at a Ferris dealer earlier this week and they had the new ISX 2200 in the showroom, the price for just the mower was 11,599. i figured with the collection system and the other goodies you'd be pretty close to 15K to buy it brand new.

I'm sorry i wasn't clear in my other post, I did buy it; it was too good a deal to pass up. It was more money than i had wanted to spend but i think this is one of those cases where spending more is going to be better in the long run.

Well I went and looked at the Ferris, it’s as good as brand new, the nubbies are still on the tires, it’s literally spotless. Runs great, everything works as brand new. It comes with the “turbo pro max” three bag collection system , de thatching rake, a liquid fertilizer tank/spray bar...
