Bummer. The 61 inch deck is amazing sad to see them cut the inch off as it does make a difference. Scags and ferris beat all my other machines usually. And i own exmarks as well but ferris has always been my top fav. Sad to see the old decks go
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.
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.
Congrats, To the addition 💪🏽
Thanks!
New sub! I just demoed that mower and it’s beast 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for subscribing! I'm glad you were able to demo one. They are a great mower! Have a great 2024 season!
Price? Performance on hills? Under trees? Tear grass in turns?
can you do a blade change or bottom deck video vs the 61 difference?
Nice!
I have a Z3X icd deck how is the new plus doing?
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✌️
Was the chute baffle standard?
No, I had my dealer install the Grass Flap for me before buying it. I get them installed on all my mower's.

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

Did they redesign all their decks or is it just the 60" ?
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?
Cheap plastic deck wheels and no protection in front of engine
Never had a problem after 3 sets of these mowers👍plastic deck wheels have 900 hrs, and still fine so🤔
