Hi all. I thought buying a ZTR would fund and exciting. It turning into a real challange to compare machines.
Yesterday I was already to buy a CC Tank 48" with a Briggs engine. I met a buddy of mine this morning who had just bought a Ferris 3100 with 60" cut. He said that the suspension was great.
These two machines are not apples to apples comparison $7K for the CC and $11K for the Ferris.
To get the Ferris into the same price range you really end up with an entry level machine - front suspension is not independant, it seemed like most of the machine is lighter. I thought it was closer to low end professional Toro.
Whereas the CC Tank seems to be a pretty good machine but I don't have a local dealer to check it out.
I looking for a quality machine, low maintenance and logivity. For the ZTR's I have noted that tires are issues, air filtration system, hydraulics, deck leveling question, greasing, etc.
What are your thoughts? The Tank lists everything but are the things accessible and functional?
I don't think the cut with the Ferris will be that much better than the Tank?
Thanks in advance
