Did you like the mower, there all nice when there new!!! What were your likes and Dislikes???? Pro's cons. Didn't let me know anything other then you demo'd the mower for 5days.
It's a nice smooth ride, very comfortable. Almost makes you want to get out there and mow. The cut quality is very good, but I felt like my Scag Turf Tiger lays better stripes. It may help if I tried different blades. I also like the build quality on the Ferris. It's heavy duty all around.
That's a good question. I really liked the mower and wish I didn't have to give it back after the demo. I'm not up to speed on mower prices in the used market, unfortunately.
Honest question. Why does this 3200 have a 37 HP motor with the a 61" deck and the 800 has about 10 HP less with a 61" deck. I'm looking around to buy a different mower and I've been offered a new 800 for $7500 or a 3200 with 300 hours on it for 8500. I'm thinking on going with the new 800 unless someone can give me a good reason to buy a used 3200. I have also been offered a 3100 with 100 hours on it for $8500.
My IS3200Z DFI engine fuel injector cuts out and sometimes stops! Dealer said I need to change engine at $3,000! No warranty. Only 163 hours. Any help?
I just had my Ferris IS3200Z mower delivered. The oil guard system is great, but my dealer is recommending that my first oil change be done after 100 hours, then go to the 500 hour cycle, even with the synthetic oil. Makes sense to me, but I was wondering what everyone else has experienced?
That's a great question. I recall talking to a sales rep about that and they said the 500 hour mark is fine for the first one. I personally would do it sooner, just because.
It should be somewhere visible without searching too hard. I only tested this mower for a few weeks, so unfortunately I'm not sure. Maybe under the seat somewhere or around it? Let me know how it goes, I'm curious where it's at.
Appears to be a good mower.......however, if I'm going to spend that amount of money it better be rated for more than a 15 degree slope (all lapbar mowers). Cub Cadet's Proz commercial mowers with All Wheel Steering can mow up to a 25 degree slope. We need Ferris, Scag, Exmark, Deere, Toro to step up their game. Thank you for the video.
I don't have too many steep hills or ditches where I live. I also run a Scag Turf Tiger that has a low center of gravity. I've seen the Cub Cadet you're talking about. It's impressive!
Hear me out, screw how much the damn thing is, I ran over a fucking metal bar and it bent the living shit out of it and I checked the blades and they were untouched. This is the best lawn mower ever.
markthomasbuilder I noticed the tread pattern looks different than others. I believe Gravely now uses radial tires & the Spartan mower uses radial. Both of those have a different looking tread pattern. Of course radial tires offering 'sidewall flex' should help stability on slopes. Ferris has that patented suspension which appears to work better than all others including Bad Boy & Spartan. That being said, I own a Kubota. Hey.!!.. I'm happy, but fascinated with a car suspension on a lawnmower👍👍

A “demo” means that you show us how to use it. That means starting it, releasing the parking brake, engaging the blades….that’s what I was hoping for.
Sorry about that. My idea of a demo was geared for lawn pros familiar with zero turns.
Me too, idiots
I have that mower with the 72inch deck and that 37 hp engine has no problem with it 👍🏻 great mower
It's such a nice smooth ride, I wish I owned it.
How many hours do you have on your Ferris?
I own that mower and it is truly a Beast !
I wish I didn't have to give the demo back! It was powerful and smooth suspension.
Same model & engine? How many hours do you have on it so far?
I have one for sale with 136 mowing hours on it. Kept in immaculate shape. What do i sell it for? Only used on residential.

The main differences in the 2 units is the 3200 will have 2 fuel tanks and larger hydro gear wheel motors, (more ground speed)

I have someone I can ask. I'll let you know what I find out.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Thank you very much as I am in a real problem. Can the injectors not be repaired?
@@MarkThomasBuilder Forget it !
@@kathiekirkland5829 Sorry, I've been inundated with many items this week. I can reach out today if needed still?

6 qts of oil and a filter is cheap compared to a damaged engine. CHANGE THE OIL !!!!
Where do I find the model no. Clutch plate seized and can't find where to buy one in Australia😢

@@MarkThomasBuilder all we found was the serial No. And part No. On the right side of the frame.
Great review mark. Love that Oilguard tech!
Thanks! I'm really liking the Ferris. Did you happen to hear me drop your name in the video?
markthomasbuilder Lol yeah. You need to try the Z3!
It looks awesome! I watched your reviews and would definitely love to try one out!
The oil guard is also available on other mower brands . It’s more of a Vanguard feature and not a Ferris. I saw one on the Spartan Mowers as well.
Nice ride
It's such a smooth ride, makes me want to go out and mow!

@@MarkThomasBuilder which model of cub cadet you're talking about?
thanks
TOUGH & DURABLE & Comfort & Cut Quality.Have a Deere Z930m and Love it.Nice Looking Ferris 👍
Thanks, the township I live in has several Deere mowers. They do a great job on the tall stuff.
What features do you look for in a zero turn mower?
Hey while you are there go see Taryl.
Love the hat!
Awesome, glad to hear it!
Hear me out, screw how much the damn thing is, I ran over a fucking metal bar and it bent the living shit out of it and I checked the blades and they were untouched. This is the best lawn mower ever.
Oh wow, that's incredible!
So, it bending a bar makes it the best mower ever? Maybe it just had the best blades ever?😂 calm down pup..its a good mower. Not the best
Are those tires Radial or Bias-Ply??
Sorry, I'm not sure. The suspension does an amazing job, so it's hard to tell if the tires are stiff or not.

I own a Kubota. Hey.!!.. I'm happy, but fascinated with a car suspension on a lawnmower👍👍
Waste of time thanks
Piping on seat, uncomfortable.
I didn't notice that when I drove it.
Don’t put it on a hill it’s one slippery bitch even when dry!! NOT IMPRESSED FOR 15k drive it every day tears the grass to hell
There's a special touch it takes to keep from tearing the grass.
Broken seat belt buckle! Lol
Yep👍
What a waste of time....Where is the actual MOWING FOOTAGE?
Sorry, just trying to show features of this awesome mower.
No problem, but in that case, it's not a demo. It's a walk around.
