The advantages of buying the Ferris ISX 800:

🛠️ 1. ForeFront™ Suspension = Best Ride in Its Class

Ferris is the only brand with independent suspension on all four wheels, and the ISX 800 uses their newest ForeFront™ Suspension system.

•     Smoother ride = less operator fatigue

•     Better traction = cleaner, more consistent cut

•     Faster mowing on rough ground

Source: Ferris highlights this as a next‑generation suspension upgrade on the ISX 800.

⚙️ 2. Briggs & Stratton CXi EFI Engine = Power + Fuel Efficiency

The 27‑HP Briggs CXi EFI engine offers:

•     Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for better fuel economy and cold starts

•     ETC (Electronic Throttle Control) for consistent blade speed under load

•     Low maintenance and strong torque for tall or wet grass

Dealers list this engine as the powerplant for the 60" ISX 800 (model 5902172).

🛢️ 3. OilXtend™ System = 250‑Hour Oil Intervals

This is a major cost‑saver.

Ferris’ new OilXtend™ system increases oil change intervals to 250 hours, which is 2.5× longer than industry standard.

That means:

•     Less downtime

•     Lower maintenance cost

•     More mowing hours between service

🏆 4. iCD™ or iCD+™ Cutting Deck = Commercial‑Grade Cut Quality

The ISX 800 uses Ferris’ redesigned iCD+ cutting system on select models, engineered for:

•     Better airflow

•     Cleaner discharge

•     Stronger deck durability

Source: Ferris describes this as “next‑level performance” on the ISX 800.

🚜 5. Commercial Hydro‑Gear ZT‑3400 Transaxles

These are true commercial‑grade hydros, not homeowner‑grade units.

Benefits:

•     Higher torque

•     Better cooling

•     Longer life under heavy use

Dealers confirm ZT‑3400s on the 60" EFI model.

💰 6. Strong Value for a Commercial Zero‑Turn

Typical pricing from dealers:

•     $11,249–$12,374 depending on dealer and promotions.

For a mower with:

•     Full suspension

•     EFI engine

•     Commercial hydros

•     60" deck

…it’s one of the best values in the commercial ZTR market.

đź”§ 7. Built for Durability

•     Heavy-duty frame

•     10 mph top speed for productivity

•     4‑year limited warranty
