That's my foot pedal control to open and close my Grassflap chute blocker.

@ Oh, I like that! I bought my Z3X used for my own property and it came with the Qwikchute on it. Does it work well and reliably? That seems like it would be much nicer if so.

​@chriscarter3232 Yes, it's a nicer option than the qwickchute. My buddy has that one on his mower and I didn't like reaching for the handle to open and close the chute. I use the grassflap on all my mowers and I'm very happy with it. With the foot pedal I can open up the chute half way to fan out my clippings which is a nice bonus plus with the foot pedal my hands are free to stay on my controls.

Thanks for watching and commenting! You'll love the new 60" Z3X! I started out on a Z2 52" for my first stand on mower before now owning 2 Z3X mower's. Good luck, and keep me posted on what you think about it!

@Joeyruss13 thanks for your comment! I had a local welder build my ramps for me. I showed him what I was looking for and he built them and installed them for me. The box is 8' wide and 16' long.

Yes, the rubber flap stripe kit mounted behind the deck.

I'm in York Pa! Wertz's is great! Tell them you saw my video. Kevin is great! Ferris is a great mower, and Wertz's is a great dealer! Good luck, and let me know how you make out.

I think all the hanging parts the same part numbers, I'm looking to buy a 60" to replace my 61". the dealer said its a direct swap

You're welcome and thanks for watching and commenting!

Yes I can shut it. During the day I just leave it open to air everything out. Then after my last lawn I shut the door and lock it all up. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@turningoveranewleaflawncar952 Great idea and smart !!!

I had my local welder fabricator build them for me. There are companies out there that make them as well but I'd still need a welder to install them. Check with a local welder fabricator first. I like to support small local businesses like myself for most of my work. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hi Kaden! Thanks for watching! The answer is YES! I'll be putting up another video as I just hit the 100 hour on it and taking it in for service and a check up! I plan to get a 100 hour review video up this weekend! Keep an eye out for it!

That’s awesome!! I’m excited to see how it’s goin for you so far!

No, I had my dealer install the Grass Flap for me before buying it. I get them installed on all my mower's.

A much better improvement on cut quality for sure! It's amazing the difference after I cut with the new 60" ICD plus compared to my older 61" ICD deck. It's like a night and day difference. Once I hit 100 hours on it I plan to do a 100 hour review on show a cut comparison video and go over what I like and dislike about it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@turningoveranewleaflawncar952 that’s awesome, I look forward to the review!

Thanks for subscribing! I'm glad you were able to demo one. They are a great mower! Have a great 2024 season!

Never had a problem after 3 sets of these mowers👍plastic deck wheels have 900 hrs, and still fine so🤔

I had my local welder fabricator build them for me. I showed him some pictures of box trucks with ramps and then he built it and installed them for me and gave me a lifetime warranty. If anything goes wrong he'll fix it for free. If you're interested in getting ramps I'd check with your local welder fabricator. They'll be cheaper and do a better job and you're supporting a local business. Thanks for watching and commenting!

It's definitely an improvement. No stragglers left behind that's for sure!

What about wet grass…heard that it’s not as good🤔love my Z3X’s, and ready for another one✌️

Thanks!

The factory blades that came with it. I only use them, and during leaf clean-ups in the fall and spring I'll use the Oregon gator mulching blades. I've also messed around with the Scag hi lift blades, and they also work great!

@@turningoveranewleaflawncar952 i have the 61" deck on a snapper pro with the 37 vanguard. I have only used the blades that came with my mower. I was really curious about the scah hi lifts.

@@ronniegibson8577 they do work great however to spin those hi lifts you lose power and go through gas more. If you're ok with that then use them. I've heard some guys use 1 hi lift at their discharge side and regular blades on the other 2 spindles to help throw the grass clippings further. I never tried that yet.

@@turningoveranewleaflawncar952 are the sails as wide on the scags? I know the oems from ferris/snapper are pretty wide

The Scag hi lift blades are a beast of a blade. They are big and heavy. At $150 for a 3 set they definitely take care of lifting and cutting and tossing the clippings out from under your deck. Another plus to them is the bottom of your deck stays pretty clean from the force of the air.

Actually, the new 60" ICD plus deck blows the old 61" deck away! It is cutting superb and no stragglers left behind. Apparently, from what I've heard, Ferris had to change their deck design because it was to close looking to the Exmark deck. Exmark sued Ferris and won, and that's why they changed them. It's actually better, so things happen for a reason.

@@turningoveranewleaflawncar952 thats not why they changed it ot was almost identical to scag not exmark. However the new design looks like exmark and exmark does 60's so idk where ya heard that from the new design is like it.

@@turningoveranewleaflawncar952 also my initial comment was In reference to 61' vs 60. The extra inch makes a difference.

​@@ecooutdoorswww.servicedealer.co.uk/homepage/briggs-stratton-ordered-to-pay-28-8m-damages

So I’ve had three of the 61” deck and it’s the worst deck of the lot when it comes to that deck size (when compared to other companies) I’ve logged 200+ hours on every deck and I can say it sucked… discharge was terrible, it left stragglers even with brand new blades, and it always left a row between blades (and this isn’t a sharpening issue, I’ve tested this with every other mower). Supposedly the new 60” deck was made to fix those issues, not any of that lawsuit bullshit that other guy was talking about. It’s the same reason exmark now has the 60” deck, they made it cut better. I believe this involves a little more overlap of the blades rather than shortening them all down a 1/3 of an inch.

Thank you!

Awesome! Thank you!

Ballard products for around $15. It definitely comes in handy!

Ballard Products around $15 a couple years ago. It comes in handy.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Awesome! I'm glad this helped you! Congratulations on your new Z1 and have a great 2024!

I can't believe it's been 6 years, wow you're awesome 👏 ❤️ 😊 Ly sis

Thanks! Yeah the box truck setup is nice. I wanted an Isuzu NPR but this old Penske GMC fell into my lap and I had to get it. I figured this being my first box truck setup I'd see how I like it and run this for a couple of seasons and if it works nice I'd eventually get an Isuzu. Thanks for watching and commenting and have a great season!

Thanks! They do make square buckets that may work too. As I was looking online for 2 gallon buckets some square ones popped up so that is another option. I'm thinking a black, red or gray color bucket would look perfect on it. Thanks for watching and commenting. Let me know if do this to yours? My other buddies that run Ferris near me liked the idea that they ran out and bought buckets to hang on their Ferris mowers.

Thank you, Sir!

Thanks!

I liked them at first because it was better than nothing for holding trash. It's a great option but after seeing some other mowers the other day that had trash cans on their mowers I wanted to look at other options and this is what I came up with. I'll let you know how it goes.

Have you tried the wright bucket holders, or those from Spencer products? I don't hang anything on the trim sides , it gets hit on side hills with fences and as you say blocks the view of the edge of the deck.

@firstname6208 ​ ​ I have looked into the Wright mower's trash kits and they're around $100/$140 for their bag or bucket kits. This $5 bucket works for me. I actually got the idea from seeing the Wright mowers trash kits. I'm hoping Ferris sees this video and comes up with something similar. It's a perfect spot for a trash bucket right behind the battery shelf. It'd also be nice if not just Ferris but other brands point the exhaust pipes to blow out the same direction as the decks discharge chutes. Having the exhaust pipes pointing towards the trim side hurts the bushes or hedges with the heat.

Thanks! The box truck setup is definitely nice. I had my local welder fabricator design and build my ramps. I showed him what I was looking for and he came up with what I have there. He gave me a lifetime warranty so if anything happens to them I just take it to him and he'll fix it. All the ramps online for sale I'd still have to get a welder to attach it to my truck so why not just have a local welder build one for me. Thanks for watching and commenting! Have a great 2024!

And this one is bad ass!

Thanks! Yeah, I don't miss those days!

Thanks!

I believe it's only the 60" deck that they redesigned.

@@turningoveranewleaflawncar952 gotcha 😉👍

@@JsCrazyCutzLLCat the moment just the 60”. I believe new 52” and 72” versions are in the works as we speak

​how does the baffles comparetothe61" deck@turningoveranewleaflawncar952

Did the chute flap come standard or is it aftermarket?

Thanks man! I'll definitely do a review follow-up probably around 100 hours when it's do for it's break in check up. Have a great season!

Thanks Inga!

Thanks! I'm going into my 9th season in business. I had the idea for mowing in 2015 and I started as a side hustle in the spring of 2016. After 2 seasons of working both my full-time job and this side hustle I decided to go full-time in 2018. I love it and don't think I'll ever work for someone else again. I love my freedom too much running my own business.

@turningoveranewleaflawncar952 that's so cool. I definitely understand. Starting my 23rd year. I hope you have a blessed year.

​@memyselfi5907 that's great too hear! Wow 23 years! Congratulations and have a great 2024 too!
