Having had a Craftsman 1000 kholer for many years and still running but it's time to upgrade. After lots of TH-cam and Google and physical researching I went to a FERRIS Dealership TOPS. In my area Harlingen TX according to them nobody has any 42" or 48" available not even the warehouse, they'll have to be made and it'll take around 2 to 6 months to a year. 8a to 5p Hrs of operation and they're always jammed with people needing service but they don't can't help anybody. TERRIBLE customer service so just imagine trying to get parts or maintenance. Stopped at a KUBOTA and customer service was fast attentive huge store and fully stocked organized plus they have many Kubota locations everywhere. 4 year warranty too. Bought the KUBOTA 42" Z232 Kawasaki zero turn with free delivery next day. Very happy with SERVICE and feel confident about continuing business with Kubota and will be buying more from them . Also Ferris mostly uses Briggs and Stratton motors.
Usually depends on the distributor. You had the 2-6 month wait because that distributor didn't have the unit ordered. Can't think of any brand that doesn't have at least one or two terrible distributors ruining the brands relationship with the dealers. Main reason we cut out the middle man and sell directly to our dealers.

I love Kubotas, it’s a great brand, one of the best in my opinion! I had a Kubota Z724X before my Scag.

@@yaktaoutdoor Yakta! I realized last night I didn't include you in this list! Guess we'll have to put you in #3 version :)
@@LAWNandORDERTexas Looking forward to it! Spoiler alert: we're not light, but we're tough.
@@yaktaoutdoor I like your marketing already :) . I will be headed to Denton TX soon to look at the Yakta models they have already.
