Of those three choices I'd go Exmark 1st (find another dealer if you have to), Ferris 2nd. The suspention on the Ferris sure sounds good, if the cut is not effected.
I about bought the Exmark last year but went with Scag Wildcat 61" instead. No local Exmark dealer. Scag also has the extra few inches out from the wheel to make it easy to trim up close. Scag also has the wheel on the front right extended a little further out than the one one the left (trimming side). From other pictures I have not noticed this on other ZTR's. When I was shopping I was not aware of the extension, so did not look for it on other ZTR's.
Here's a pic of mine which you can see the extension ....I'm guessing it helps with turning quicker / easier. I did my best time yet last night. Mowed 4 acres in 1 1/2 hours. This is bumpy terrain in some spots so I cannot mow at top speed 3/4 of the time. I can sure turn fast and triming around things is a breeze.
