Yes it is an amazing machine. It is smooth riding and it is now 5 years old and I have only changed oil, filter and lubed the grease zerts. I checked out lots of zero turns and Ferris seemed to be the best built of them all so I bought one. My old mower was a John Deere lawn and garden tractor and it lasted 17years. Great product but the Ferris zero turn is an awesome zero turn with a super ride due to the suspension.
