Wow never heard of that model. I am a ferris guy with 2 machines. Both 3200z. 2016 and a 2019 model. Is that new suspension really that much better?

I knew they released the new models but I did not know they have 40hp now.

Looks like the same seat on my ferris 3200z. Its not to high. If you dont like it you can take headrest off or lower it. Rops can be folded down

I have a deere also. Yes it folds all the way down but it will kill you in that position if you roll over. I did remove rops on my older ferris but my new one it folded half way.

Keep the machines. Pay them off and run them into the ground. I have 3 machines. 2 are paid off. They are great to have others as backup. Cannot rely on one mower. Just because it's new it could still go into the shop.

Ferris mower that I have can hold an amazing hill. I have tweels front and back and it helps. 2019 3200z with 72 inch deck.

I am in the market for the ISX 3300 ETC and for now the availability is scarce in the KS area. Plan to purchase first part of year or when I see one at local dealers. The only ones I see are at least several states away.

Does anyone think these machines will be delayed due to the various production and component shortages? Do these models reach dealers at certain months after the first of the year? My dealer said check back with him in December.

I was thinking about calling my dealer to see if I could buy one also. I did not know they are hard to find.

Usually a dealership will buy it from another. I have had this happen with my john deere. My dealer bought it from another dealership out of state

Does the vanguard etc system tie in with the blade engagement switch on the ferris like the exmark red system does with kohler engines?

There are only a couple features on my old exmark with red that I miss having on my is3200 but one of them was the automatic rpm adjustment when engaging /disengaging blades no matter which of the three throttle settings I was on.

The other is the ability to lock the deck adjustment lever so the deck can't accidentally get bumped up to the transport height without me noticing, this is also nice for when you need to feather the deck over stuff, it would just drop back down to the cut height when you take your foot off the pedal rather than having to push that lever over, (which I forget sometimes)

I Remove the spring that holds the deck lever in place. I do this with every Ferris I have. I also engaged blades at full throttle. I know I definitely have to do this on my 2016 is 3200 with the 72 or deck belt my come off. My 2019 model has different belt system .

I'll try removing the spring.
Mine has the 2 belt deck setup and I've had zero belt problems so far at 900 hours and both belts are still in good shape.

The 2 belt system is excellent. I just broke my first belt the longer one this week at 1200 hrs. It was a quick easy change to fix. The 2016 models had one big belt and that wears out fast.
