Just picked up the new to me mower. 2019 Ferris IS700Z with a 52" deck and 27hp commercial briggs engine. Only has 43.7hrs on it, first zero turn for us, plenty of torn up lawn is in our future lol.

I am old enough to remember the old push reel style mowers and the days when my Dad used to mow the lawn with the sickle-bar mower and the 8N Ford tractor once or twice a year. Gas powered mowers were

Ferris is what I wanted when we where looking forward a zero turn. Ended up with a cub cadet zero turn with the steering wheel instead. Best decision ever. In the last 2 years I’ve only cut the grass a half a dozen times. Either my wife or my daughter jump on it and go. It leaves me time to take care of other things that no one else will do.

Never thought of it that way.....I am debating between the Ariens and Ferris.......but guess I have to give that cub a look now for that same reason.

I know some guys love to cut the lawn. I’m not one of them. To me it’s a chore that has to get done. I don’t hate it but I don’t look forward to it either.

My wife will do it in a heart beat. She tosses in some earbuds and gives zero f$&@&’s for the next hour.

I think she would have learned the bars but she definitely preferred the wheel.

I am old enough to remember the old push reel style mowers and the days when my Dad used to mow the lawn with the sickle-bar mower and the 8N Ford tractor once or twice a year. Gas powered mowers were for the rich folks. So this idea of paying jillions of dollars for feeding the lawn so that you're able to mow it more often is something that I can't really get into. I don't do a thing to promote it to grow faster and taller. Yes a lot of the green is because of the weeds, but I guess I really don't care. The price of fertilizer will be going through the roof, and those 5 gallon cans of gas are starting to yield a healthy dose of sticker shock, and as I get older, my time keeps getting more valuable. So I just can't get into the weed killers and the fertilizers and other lawn chemicals. If its not as green as others when August gets here....so what.

Keep us posted on how the organic stuff works.....I may go this route to keep the chemicals to a minimum where the kids play.

I did the prior one about 6-7 weeks. So far everything looks great considering the steep hills and i don't use sprinklers.

On my 3rd cut of the year, mulch is finally in and flowers coming up.  Held off on a couple spots in the back because I plan on having a couple trees taken down this summer.

Nice. If you want a nice upgrade. Grab a gallon or two of this and do your foundation white. It's easy and will really pop!
