Great job showing and telling, can’t wait for my new Z3X coming January or February. With the 60 or 61 deck, I got to learn all about it. So wish me luck and get ready to mow that grass, have a great one see ya next time see ya bye.
That’s awesome man! Congratulations and good luck. I have never run the z3x.
Very nice video. Thanks for that demonstration on the mower, also glad you keep your equipment clean.
I just bought the SRS with the Vanguard 28hp engine and its such a great mower. Its such a massive time saver.
I agree with the GrassFlap. It is a must!
Nice video! Watching your videos almost had me ready to go grab a Ferris! I'm sure a test drive is in the future! lol You guys do that brand well!
Thanks,
Shawn
Shawn Henry thanks Shawn! Just my honest opinion after 5 years of testing their products 👍🏼
Very informative review on the Ferris ZRZ!
Question where did you get your grass flap? Are they crazy expensive? I was trying to find your video on your installation but I couldn't find it.
We use our small SRS for doing parking lot Islands.
No more push mowers !.
Cut our time way down and the guys love the fact that they can just step right off and pick up garbage and get right back on to work again.
Awesome mower, I have one in the 61". I thought I should let you know that the Z2 does not go 12 or 13 mph, they are rated for 10mph.
I just bought one this year..best mower I've ever owned! Great video
Turf Ryders we are in the same boat! It is so much better than every other mower I've ever used
@@nickenslandscapingexcavating if you want a little more power, get the z3x model too, its 52 model has a 37 hp engine option on it
great video buddy
I have the snapper pro ss100, same mower as z1. I bought it in 36” for some of my smaller accounts. I absolutely love this mower! Comfort, control locations, stability on hills, speed, and quality of cut. Amazing machine
I purchased the snapper pro ss100 with the 48" deck. I have a really bad back and this thing is the closest thing to taking a magic carpet ride. Never thought about the difference it would be from sitting on a zero turn vs standing. Amazing ride!! The ONLY thing that bugs me is the deck bounce. Sometimes it will bounce from 3-1/2" and lock itself in the highest position. And if I am not paying attention I'll mow three or four passes before I realize it. Not now but when I first started cutting with it. Now when I hear that clank of the deck I automatically look. I been trying to figure a way to lock it in place as my yard is pretty level. Just bumpy as hell in places. An absolute awesome mower other then that. I got the 23hp Briggs vanguard. I never use to like brig's but this engine is bad ass IMHO. I got mine used with 72 hours on it for 5,000.
@@tellitallnow3914 mine has the kawasaki fx motor. All my mowers run kawasaki. Ive had briggs, kohler command, but the kawasaki for me has been more reliable, and more power to the ground. Ive got a 48” gravely proturn, exmark 36” walk behind, and snapper ss100 36” . Snapper sees more than twice the use of the others.
@@greggreen6636 yeah, Kawasaki engines seems to be a hot item the past few years. Brig's definitely did something right with the vanguard engine. The 23hp is a beast for it's size IMHO. I runs flawlessly with lots of power.i have noticed It don't even build up any carbon what so ever inside the muffler it runs so clean. Spark plugs are nice and bronze color. Unlike all the other engines I have ever had in the past including Kawasaki. One thing is for sure. Time will surely tell the tale of the tape.
I can’t speak for the z1 but everything you listed is the exact same for the z2. Revolutionary mowers in my opinion.
Nice video! Happy new year 🎊🎆🎈 I’ll be just starting my lawn cutting business PT March 2018 thinking about getting the Exmark commercial 30 to speed me up. Have you had any experience with this mower ?
Good review!!
The Days Of David thank you sir! I know you run the same one 👌🏼
looks great!
Grass Daddy thank you 👍🏼
Love the ferris brand! Got the fw25 36 inch. Love it
Ryan Gallegos Ferris all the way! 👍🏼
@NickensLawn&LandscapeLLC - I demo'd a 2017 Ferris SRS Z2 w/ the 28.0 HP B&S Vanguard EFI and a 52" deck recently. One of the things I didn't expect to dislike on the Z2 was the deck position, which is off-set to the left of the machine chassis. While I can appreciate that by so doing this provides 4" of trim side overhang from the rear tire, it causes a few other issues:
First and foremost is that there isn't room for a set of anti-scalp wheels on the discharge side of the deck due to interference with the front caster wheel. In addition, the anti-scalp wheels in the rear of the deck are pretty tight to the center of the deck. Combined with the lack of a discharge side front anti-scalp wheel set, I found the deck "dug in" in the front and rear corners on the discharge side. The anti-scalp wheels are also not adjustable.
Second is that the discharge side blade cuts about 4" beyond the outside edge of the discharge side caster wheel, but the trim side blade cuts about 8" beyond the outer edge of the trim side caster wheel. This makes stripe widths uneven unless you set your front caster wheel at varying depths from the uncut grass mark pending whether you're mating with your last stripe using the trim or discharge side of the deck.
I found that this required extra concentration. Not doing so meant you were losing cutting width to inefficient overlap - I found the stripes more closely resembled that of a 42" mower. But if you DO vary your offset from the uncut grass line, you'll end up with uneven tire marks. You're stripes will be wheel-to-wheel on mating discharge side deck passes, but will have a goofy 6" "dead zone" between wheel passes on mating trim side passes if you're maximizing deck width.
I also found the Carlisle Reliance 13x5.00-6/3.25 front caster wheels more prone to scuffing and tearing turf during changes of direction in 3-point turns than were the casters on some of the other units I've tried. These three things are the biggest cons I found during my demo. Have you found any of them to be issues on your machine? Ideally I'd like a 52" deck. But if I'm sold on the other aspects of Ferris, perhaps the 61" iCD deck on a Ferris Z2 wouldn't have the same issue with the deck offset and lack of anti-scalp wheels.
I have seen these at my local dealer they are sweet rides for sure
Jonboy's Lawn Service yes they are!
You've got a nice rig fella.... good looking truck, trailer and mowers. How are you liking the Ferris after some hours on it? Would you still want the stand up after using it for a while? I'm looking at a 5100 diesel or maybe the IS3200Z gas. Thanks!
I absolutely love where they put the deck height set point hand lever!!!
Mark vaars same here. Literally couldn't have put it in a better spot 👌🏼
i think it should be on the right side,best controls u can"t even reach your key
there a few design flaws that were a deal breaker for me .went with the Bob Cat stander 52 better design better lay out,better machine and a better built and stronger mower
good video man i have a z1 36 with a vanguard 23hp inch loving it.
one man show lawn care smart man! Ferris is the way to mow 🌱🌱
I can’t imagine a 36” with 23 horses, my 48” Z1 has the 22hp Kawasaki and it’s more than enough.
How are you liking the ferris? Im in the market for a stander 48 this year and inbetween john deer, wright and ferris.
Just purchased one yesterday. Z2 wirh Vanguard. May i ask where you purchased grass flap from? Is it aftermarket or from Ferris?
Everything on that control panel is great, except for the fuel gage and the hour meter being on the front 😂
What was your honest opinion on the cut compared to the scag in the wet grass ???
Good to speak to you at the Home Depot. Come out to Smithton Fri-Sat and we will hook you up with some kettle corn!
D Clif10 Yeah man good to talk to you! I may have to take you up on that. I may be mowing in smithton Monday
you killing it man, nice stripes from the drone. does it look as good at ground level.
Lawn Commander thanks man! It sure does 👍🏼
awesome looking mower. thinking about trying a stand on mower for tight spots. this thing looks nice. Do you plan on getting abother to replace the walk behind or do you like to keep a walk behind too?
Matt Reynolds for now we plan to keep this set up. I always need to have a walk behind 👍🏼
Hi - are you still using the Ferris oem blades? or did you go to aftermarket one's? also did you adjust the striping flap at all ? it has two positions - I enjoy your videos - Thank's for posting them - God Bless
Larry A we use a high lift blade. And we have not adjusted our flap, whichever position is closer to the ground will stripe the best 👍🏼
I'm just starting out I have 5 lawns in the neighborhood I have a Toro AWD 22 inch echo 225 trimmer, edger and a echo blower. At what point did you upgrade to a stand on or a rider? With those five lawns if I get a cleanup during the week it takes me so long and it so hard on the equipment I have.
Jaz & Keli (
It's 10mph. I have one It's awesome
I'm considering purchasing this exact mower, but what are your thoughts of a 6'4", 330 pound rider on this mower? I haven't seen anything on any kind of weight limit, but it seems like the front may want to raise up easily. Could you see it not being comfortable to operate being taller? Curious to get your thoughts.
Try it you'll like it it's the best ever I'm 6-1 280 it's the best thing I've ever rode
z3 has the more capable durable hydros, get that for sure
I have the wright 32hydro walk behind and we love it but have been looking at stand on mowers. Been looking at the ferris and the gravely. I would have bought another wright but had such a bad wright dealer rep im not going back there.
John Bailey Check out Ferris man! You won't regret it! Demos are free 👍🏼
what kind of the blades are you running on this? I'm searching for some blades to put on my ICD deck so I'm seeing what other people are using. thanks!
M Murph I run high lift blades in the summer and mulching blades in the fall 👍🏼 hope that helps
Nickens Lawn & Landscape thanks! I'm not sure what they put on from the factory but the ones I'm pulling off are terrible! think they might be a medium lift blade. thanks again for the info
looks bitchin guys. great video on the Ferris
Does the Ferris have the sealed bearings. I had a vride loved it but have having to grease the spindles lol
Grass Trees Landscaping spindles are not sealed
I want 1 they seem to have a great cut.
how does it compare to the walk behind on hills and tuff spots?
buffalostate1 it is actually very well on hills. Not quite as good as a walk behind but it does good
How do you like your Ferris Zero Turn? I have the F60z and I'm a bit skeptical about it. My deck won't stay level at all.
I guess I should clarify. How do you like the stand on? I need something different than the model I have. It just doesn't have a true Zero turn feel and like I said, the deck won't stay level at all.
RM Lawn and Landscape the Stander is awesome! Cuts like a dream and is super easy to operate 👍🏼
what do u use for editing your videos?
Bryan B I use Final Cut Pro
Do you have a stripping kit on there and if so where can I get on I have Ferris 48 stander
like your video....from derek
what brand trash bags are on it?
A-Veteran Lawn Care I'm not sure what brand they are. Got it from my dealer with the mower
who made the beat
Mike Gipp just one we got from TH-cam
Grassflap ???!!!!.
What the hell ,I'm going to look for that now online !.
We've been using a piece of s*** bolt on steel plate ....pain in the ass !
How much does a model like this run? I want this exact model, but I don't want to pay an arm and a leg.
Aaron Allred roughly $8,000
Nickens Lawn & Landscape Thanks for the info. That's not to bad, and hopefully I'll be investing in one later this year or next! Great review!
Is anyone else having problems with springs breaking on the Z2? My Z2 has broken the same spring 5 times in 52 hours of use. It's the mowing deck tension spring. The dealer said it was a known weak part but they had a new manufacturer for it now. I've still broken two of the new, improved springs. I have the EFI engine and it produces a lot of vibration---I've noticed the spring vibrates constantly when in use. Anyone else having this problem?
Did you get the Kawasaki EFI or Vanguard EFI, I got a quote for a Kawasaki 52" EFI for $7800.
Mine is the Briggs / Stratton vanguard EFI. I think that was the only option for EFI where I purchased. Mine is also a 52".
10mph not 12-13mph
With adjustment 14 to 16 lmaoooooo
Watch my vid 14-16 mph with adjustment
Nice mower but why is everybody so afraid is see that you were afraid also not sure why everyone is so afraid you know everyone is going to ask why your so afraid to post the PRICE ? Im sure you paid for it? Maybe not ?
John Bailey it's different everywhere so I don't want people going off of what I paid. To get an accurate price check a local dealer. Here they are $8,200
John Bailey here in MPLS I paid 7299 on fleet I bought two of them and love them. I also run wright the ferris will go on hills no other rider will do
John Bailey I should have bought 2!
Man blow your mowers off before you put them up in your trailer, and they're stand-on mowers not walk behinds, unless you "walk behind" your stand-on 😂
We could blow them off, not a bad tip.
But they are definitely walk behinds. Lol. Stand ons have a built in platform. Walk behinds are designed to be walked behind. The velke is just us being lazy.
Stripes don't equal a good cut... knocked over grass is not cut qualit
Daniel f you are totally right but this one cuts as well as it stripes.
Daniel f icd is the best deck in the industry
THE best built mower is the grasshopper! NOTHING comes close and NO OTHER mower has 3 gauge decks !!! 2nd is Ventrac and does more than ANY OTHER Mower. The Grasshopper Has a ton of attachments also. These 2 mowers are so far ahead of the game it's not even funny. The other mowers are a joke compare to these.
grasshopper makes a good machine for sure
Grasshoppers are good no doubt. But the best mower is the one that’s paid off and had the best dealer support.
You're welcome to come and mow with me
yes haha a troll :)
