[QUOTE="Ready_fire_aim, post: 4317068, member: 50626"] Dang, I feel poor… people out here spending more than I’ve ever paid for a truck, for a tool to cut the grass. I mean come on it’s literally just cutting the grass. I will say Ferris mowers are good though. My father-in-law bought a smaller Ferris about 15yrs ago (nowhere near the cost of this one) and it’s still a mowing SOB to this day. He mows close to 10acres in the country, not a 1acre flat lot. It can raise the deck way higher than most z-turns which makes it kinda like a brush hog for tall/neglected areas. Personally I mow about 2 acres and I’m young with kids on a blue collar income. I can’t imagine spending $10k++ to cut the grass lol. I don’t enjoy mowing… it’s like cleaning a toilet bowl to me, just a crappy job that has to be done. I live out of town and my lawn doesn’t need to look perfect. Several years ago I bought an older cub cadet 50” z-turn with the Kawasaki 691 used for $900. It works for me. I do my own repairs so the occasional needed fix doesn’t bother me. If I had $10k+ to spend its going to other things in life, and I’ll just keep my old used mower as long as I can lol [/QUOTE]
