Best Residential ZTR Walker or Ferris

[vpod1]

I have a question?? I want to buy a real good machine for some upscale residential properties I have acquired where scalping and such cannot occur and quality is demanded and paid for rather than quick completion of the job.
Which ZTR would be better for such a purpose The Walker GHS or a Ferris IS1000 or 3000? Or would I be better going a different direction?? I currently do commercial accounts now and run scag.
Please help me out and give me your opinion. Thanks!

The Walker will provide a much nicer cut than the Ferris & is much better suited to upscale res. applications.

I have never used either, but I have my dream machine (Ferris IS-5000) as my wallpaper on my computer screen. I dont know what it costs, nor would I ever buy one. Of course, if I win the lottery I will buy for %$#!&'s and giggles. 31.5 Cat diesel engine with suspension system. Hell, I might buy it, put a hitch on it and pull an 18' trailer with it. Heheheheh

The best ZTR made - is the one you can afford and the one you actually buy.

This is probably the most over used question on this board (no problem for you asking it again[]), but this subject has be hashed and rehashed so many times it is becoming tiresome.

Go out and buy the ZTR that you like, and the one that fits your budget - you'll do just fine.

Holy Cow Quality! That baby is $13K, I believe it. No one can argue that its not the toughest looking lawn mower on the face of the earth. It also looks like it weighs about half a ton. For that price, you can go get two ZTRs and a trailer to haul it. I would love to demo it though. Probably has a blade tip speed of 28,000rpm. Might even double as a stump grinder.
