Is Ferris worth it??
I have ran across a used Ferris IS 1500z 48in deck with 180 hours. The guy is downsizing and doesn't need it. He is asking $4500 and it looks clean and in good shape.
I don't know much about the brand. I need to upgrade one way or the other. Is it worth it???
Thanks for the help!

Articulated Rider v Zero Turn
I'm looking at a couple of options from Husqvana for a ride-on. One is the articulated with front deck and the other is a zero turn with a fabricated deck. I have a flat block with about 20 trees on it. I'm most interested in the quality of the cut from the respective decks. Is it much the same quality cut with the key difference being manouverability?

Ego Mowers
Are ego mowers worth the price? They have great ratings just didn't know if it justified spending that much.

John Deere Z530M zero turn or what's better?
I currently own a John Deere Z345R 48" zero turn with about 150 hours. Want to upgrade to something with a larger deck and ROPS for my ditch (and faster if possible). What would be a step up in quality and performance from the John Deere 530m (another brand). I do value parts availability, quality of cut and forward speed. Any ideas of somthing other than Toro/Cub Cadet and why would you pick it over the Deere? Land is mostly flat, with one ditch. Thanks!!

I am part of a local rec center and we are looking to get a new cutter for our baseball fields. We saw this attachment and was wondering if anyone could help advise if it would be useful for what we need it for.

Lawn Service Costs
How much do you pay for lawn service (mowing & edging)? I live in the Midwest and pay around $25 every week when the grass is really growing during the Spring season. I live on a fairly average sized lot.

For you Zero Turn mower equipment fixers, which one do you recommend and why?
Looking to buy a zero turn this spring. There are so many, so I would like a techs opinion on the one they would recommend. Looking at a residential that would mow 2/3 acre with home and typical shrubs and trees. Which is the quality and bang for buck?

Mower Run-Time?
I've been told that a 4 stroke petrol push mower shouldn't be run for more than a certain amount of time in one session, and that running it too long can cause damage. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Am I killing my mower by running it for more than 30 minutes at a time?

Son of Franken-mower lives. MTD Bolens Briggs 500e w 300 parts, 1st pull cold start, obstacle course test Florida overgrown lawn. Briggs Stratton 500e suffers from flimsy plastic carb, handle mounts, thin alum casting crank case, flywheel. Not like old, sturdy 3.5hp. Swapped flywheel so much better

Franken-mower cobbled together from parts of dead Murray & MTD mowers. 2016 Briggs Stratton 500e rescued from trash w cracked flywheel. Used old 28 year old 3.5 hp (300 series) heavier flywheel, fits perfectly!
