JOHN DEERE Z997R ZERO TURN MOWER

COMPARING THE JOHN DEERE Z997R ZERO TURN MOWER TO THE  FERRIS IS6200Z.

THE JOHN DEERE Z997R ZERO TURN MOWER IS THE LASTEST AND GREATEST JOHN DEERE COMMERCIAL DIESEL POWERED ZERO TURN MOWER. POWERED BY A  NEARLY 38 (37.4)  HP, 3 CYLINDER LIQUID COOLED DIESEL ENGINE.  HAS A 12 GALLON FUEL TANK . IT HAS THE TYPICAL 7 IRON PRO SERIES MOWER DECK AVAIALBE IN A 60 OR 72 INCH, AND IS SHAFT DRIVEN NOT BELT DRIVEN FOR MORE DURABILITY AND RELIABILITY. COMES WITH DEERE’S COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE PACKAGE WHICH MEANS IT HAS ELECTRONIC DECK CONTROLS INTEGRATED INTO THE STEERING HANDLES. THIS IS A NEAT FEATURE, BUT NOT ONE THAT REALLY PROVIDES ANY KIND OF PRODUCTION INCREASE. JUST A EASE OF USE OPTION. IT COMES STANDARD WITH A SUSPENSION SEAT THAT ALSO TILTS/RELINES FOR BETTER COMFORT. STARTING PRICE FOR THE JOHN DEERE Z997R ZERO TURN MOWER (ASSUMING THE 60 INCH) IS LISTED ON THEIR WEBSITE AT $25,859.

FERRIS’ NEWEST AND LARGEST MOWER IS HERE. THE ALL NEW Ferris IS6200Z FEATURES A 48 HP CAT DIESEL ENGINE, WITH ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. IT IS ONLY AVAILABLE WITH THE FERRIS 72 INCH iCD HYDRAULIC LIFT MOWING DECK, A TWO BELT SYSTEM. IT HAS A 15 GALLON FUEL TANK AND WILL TRAVEL UP TO 12MPH. FEATURES A 3 INCH INTERACTIVE COLOR DISPLAY TO KEEP YOU INFORMED. AND OF COURSE, UNIQUE TO FERRIS IS THEIR PATENTED SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY. THIS MACHINE, ANY MANY OTHER FERRIS’, CAN HANDLE VERY ROUGH MOWING CONDITIONS. ALONG WITH THEIR DELUXE HIGH BACK SUSPENSION SEAT, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMFORTABLE MOWERS ON THE MARKET. CURRENT PROMO PRICING ON THIS UNIT IS $29,999.

IN MY OPINION, THE FERRIS IS6200Z IS THE SUPERIOR MOWER. OBVIOUSLY THIS AND THE JOHN DEERE Z997R ZERO TURN MOWER ARE TARGETED TOWARDS MUNICIPILITIES, LARGE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, AND LARGER RURAL PROPERTIES. THE FERRIS HAS MORE HORSEPOWER, IT’S FASTER AND ABLE TO MOW LONGER, DUE TO THE LARGER FUEL TANK AND SUSPENSION THAT KEEPS YOUR AVERAGE SPEED UP. IF THERE IS ONE ADVANTAGE OF THE Z997R, IT IS THAT THERE IS A 60 INCH DECK OPTION. IF YOU ARE LIMITED OR RESTRICTED BY SPACE, A 60 INCH OPTION IS NICE. OVERALL, YOU CAN GET YOUR JOB DONE FASTER, AND IN MORE COMFORT, WITH THE FERRIS IS6200Z.
