What a BEAST!

Taka kosiarka to z pewnością kozak maszyna:) Pozdrawiam:)

I cut the trailer park about 3 Acres of grass All total maby two trailer lots in weekend with a push lawnmower I wish I could get one of those man what a lawnmower

Nice job

I had two different 5100s. Both were very unreliable to use. Something always failing. Super heavy machines. Only good thing about them is the ride, the weight made the suspension work. I replaced the last 5100 with a ISX3300. Ride is slightly rougher but just as efficient as far as acres per hour. Turning is much more efficient due to lighter weight. Also, one can buy two 3300s for the price of one 6200.

I am curious as to what your problems were? I have a 5100 I use around the farm. I have had to replace belts, one spindle and the A-Arms on the back due to defective design. Anything else I should be looking for?

@@DavidSmith-fr1uz Machine 1 was a 2012 I bought used with 420 hrs and had 1100 hrs when I sold. Machine 2 was a 2013 with 111hrs and replaced Machine 1. I mow commercially on established lawns. 1 had the flywheel plate stub just break while mowing. Both went through idler pulley bearings on the pump/PTO belt system on the rear like eating candy. Sometimes after 20 hrs of use sometimes 200. Each pulley has two bearings and usually one would go. If you catch it in time, you save the belts, otherwise replace both bearings and belts. Dealer couldnt figure out why they failed. Suggested I buy a new pulley with bearings installed, same problem. I finally would just replace the bearings every 150 hrs (if I made it that long) whether they needed it or not. Did have a spindle get loose on 2. Had over 2K hrs on 2 when I sold. Had several sets of rear tires fail, inside sidewall fails. A new 3300 replaced it and dont regret it a bit.

​@@DavidSmith-fr1uz I got a question for you about it. Do they have a problem with the front end being light? With an engine like that it seems like it would. I live in southern middle Tennessee and it's not exactly flat around here

Im thinking i might purchase one some day, but with an engine like that it looks awfully light on the front

I wish Ferris luck with this machine especially as I have two Ferris mowers. However, I wonder who would be the market for this mower?

@Jacob Del BeneMakes sense. I am not a farmer but I use my IS5100 for a 175 acre farm I own to mow around the edge of fields, barns and so on. Great machine for that kind of work.

He did not give the weight or blade speed, I would like to up grade my Kubota ZD331 but am not sure as what to buy. The local Kubota dealer will not sell the ZD1511 due to regen problems.

Hi David, the IS 6200 weighs 1158 kg with empty tanks. As for blade speeds, we don't specify blade speeds as it is very subjective to other variables. Therefore it is not a spec you can compare 1-on-1.

I would suggest the 1211. I have one with 200 hrs and no problems

Alvin landscaping for 26 years and I have found Snapper to be the worst more when it comes to longevity and durability. These new is models do not work very well. Lots of electrical issues in these Ferris mowers are nothing but beefed-up Snapper Pro. This particular diesel mower has too many belts or what it's supposed to be meant to do. They'll stretch is too many holes is in too many belts on this mower. No Straight Shaft from the motor to the deck like Kubota. Ferris is selling themselves on that comfortable seat. I admit they have the most comfortable seat out there but that doesn't mean anything when it comes to durability and longevity

I wonder if the increased electrical problems are going to be common on all the brands as they are becoming more sensor and computer controlled. Kind of like cars.

To many problems. I have used Ferris for 4 years now. And something is always wrong with the machine. Next time we will try a new brand. Sorry to say.
