    bad title first time around i am a newbie and can't decide between the super z kaw. 25 or the ferris is3000 kaw.25 had them both on my land i think it comes down to construction and weather or not the suspension on the ferris means more wear on the additional pivot points super z seems to have a higher blade speen wich they list in their specs , ferris doesnt list their blade speed super z just seems like it has faster blade speed. thanks for listening to the new guy i have been trying to make up my mind between the 2 for the last 2 weeks

    I am happy with my hustlers.
    1 60" cut @25hp
    3 60" cut @23hp
    Don't know why the change in hp's but they mow well and do very well on fuel consumption.

    I think that the torque specs for the 23 kawi, and 25kawi are almost identical. I think the 25 just let in more gas for more "boom" in the cylinder.

    just wanted to say thanks for the input i just found out through my dealer that hustler is putting a lifetime warranty on the hydraulic hoses, lines and fittings to never leak along with the rest of their warranties. once again i appreciate the response. i have a choice to make
