I have to agree...some people takes things way to far. One guy actually had 20 machines delivered to his house for test rides. Some have posted that they have been searching for a ZTR for 6 months. Do a little research, go to a few dealers and then buy one..simple. I bought a Ferris 1500 last month..test drove a couple of units and realized the suspension is what I needed because of some bumpy areas. I didn't need to test drive on my property, test driving at the dealer was more than enough. Process took about a week.
