I wanted to purchase a machine to take care of the lawns without taking up all my weekend time. I also wanted a machine that would be comfortable to use and where I would not be "beat-up" in the process. Those were the end results of the search. Originally it was a search for something to use that could would serve a purpose.
After reading many performance reviews of several manufacturers, I literally stumbled across Ferris. The more I read, the more it made sense and the more I wanted one.
The search to find one was not easy. Several Ferris dealers tried to sway me to another model but kept searching until I found an Evolution.
I have only had one issue and am too glad that I did the research and searched out the model that I decided upon. It is fast, efficient and comfortable---all of the things that I wanted. It is also built like a tank. All heavy gauge materials with quality engine too. I expect to be able to have many hours on a quality machine.
