Dave, I mow 8 acres. I test drove the following (all 72" decks):
Kubota (diesel) $12K. great cut, power, speed.
Exmark $9,200. great cut, power, speed, right seemed stiff.
Ferris 5100(Cat diesel) $14800. great cut, huge power. best of all, ride is untouched. SMOOTH.
SCAG: never got around to driving it after experiencing the suspension on the Ferris. It appeared to be the heavist built. But also expensive.
After riding the Ferris with 4 wheel suspension. I knew thats what I was getting. I really needed the suspension. Took a bad fall and the tailbone can't handle lots of bouncing.
Any dealer that is serious about selling should let you test them. All around me let me mow my entire lawn (8 acres). They even drop them off and picked them up.
Ended up getting a Ferris 3100 (32hp gas). Lighter built than the 5100. But still nice.
