Awesome ! Just what I was looking for . Checked Ballard’s but they didn’t have anything available yet so glad to see the quick chute . Thank you for the great install video , much appreciated !
No time to do this yet but this has been on my mind. I knocked a hole in my uncle's siding a few months ago. I'm really pleased with the FW15. Thank You Bud 👊🏼🧔🇺🇸
Do you use mulching blades with the QuikChute to help process the clippings better with the door closed? I know the chute is only closed for a few seconds until you can discharge again but I didn't know if needed to change blades from the high lifts.
Are you still using and happy with this setup? Just purchased my FW15 a few days ago and looking for the best setup, I have watched most of your videos, but seems like if you go this route you can’t use anything else except the side catcher. All that said this still seems like the best option. Do you have any videos of you cutting with this installed?
Just finished this, with your video's help, thanks! The fact that they make you drill holes through the deck is so retarded. This mower is already easily prone to rust I've noticed. They should've made the qwikchute have holes that already line up with the existing deck holes
Will you be trying out a side catch bagger? That seems like the way to go. Just curious how it would work hanging off the side of a smaller.mower. Would love to have your opinion. Hope to see it soon
I have an accelerator std catcher on my fw15 and a home made chute blocker. I catch as much as side discharge. Once customers see the look of a catcher they want it every time.
Easy install, handle needs to be 12"longer. You know that pawl (tumbler) has two mounting holes. you can use the lower hole to hold the door open slightly higher.
On my 61 I put a bit of weld on the pawl to hold it open even further. I didn't want a windrow forming. The 52 is fine on the lower hole. Trial and error.
Bud, just installed the qwik chute on my fw 15. Notched out an angle iron to fit around those two shims, then welded them to the angle iron. Drilled the front hole and now the accelerator fits like a glove. I have one accelerator for the 32 and 36 and a second one for the 52 and 61. No leaf loader yet, swinging the bagger up and over the sides of the dump trailer. Maybe one day when I'm rich like you guys. Lol. Have a good Thanksgiving.
I don’t see how you keep your mower so clean 😂. Mine is filthy. Might wanna look into replacing your front end with the upgraded kit. My old spindles bent when I hit a crack on the curb.
Getting ready to buy the FW15. Is there an issue with the front end I should know about? It’s not clear to me which part of the front end you’re talking about. Thanks.
@@frankiefiveangels601 there was an issue with the old style front end. Ferris reinforced the front end on the new models. If you are getting a new mower it should have the upgraded front end.
Yes they do. Might take some modification depending on the catcher you choose. I would recommend going with an aluminum catcher because the weight matters over time.
You have probably moved on from this mower now ? I just bought mine. How would you say it's gives the best cut . High lift blades with the chute block as needed OR Mulch everything with the wavy blades ? Thanks
You posted high lift blades as part number 5106420 And super high lift are 5108135 Which blade comes on the mower new ? I'm switching over to the chute blocker. I'm not impressed with the mulching on my mower
Also, mine is a Rackem brand not an accelerator. I went with Rackem because it was cheaper, but accelerator is what I would recommend because they are lighter weight.
@@HandyGuy2016 I already have the accelerator bagger for another machine as well as an extra mounting bracket. I am in the decision stage wether to go with the fw15 or the turfmaster. I am in Ontario Canada, and the price for the 2 machines are about the same. I will have to measure a number of gates before I decide. Do you think the fw15 is capable of going up a couple steps to get into backyards or is the back end to heavy to lift?
I’m a rookie and planning to get this mower. Can anyone tell me why or how this is different from the mulch kit?? And if you are going to have it open what’s the difference between this and what comes on the mower out of the box??
A full mulch kit has baffles in the deck and a permanent chute block to keep what you are cutting inside the deck being chopped up until it disappears. A chute block like this only controls the clippings being thrown where you don't want them, but isn't meant to stay closed all the time.
@@HandyGuy2016 thanks for the clarification. I'm thinking about getting a FW15 this Friday. Not sure how to set it up. I mainly cut small yards. I like to bag the ones that are full of weeds or leaves. Do you think the best set up would be: 1. High lift blades 2. Chute block 3. Accelerator Thoughts?
@@HandyGuy2016 does this mower meet all your standards? Cut, mulch handling? Do you feel it’s pretty powerful? I’m thinking very heavy towards one! Fully loaded with mulch kit what would the price be?

Man I don’t understand why it won’t let me like it more than once. You’re the FW15 King and I’ve seen all the FW15 videos and Thx so much
Thank you

Definitely
Thanks for all the videos of the mower. This video may have just sealed the deal on getting a FW15 to replace a time master for gated backyards!
Very welcome, happy to help.
Awesome! I installed a chute blocker on my FW15 as well. Nice to be able to control clippings discharge when needed.
I think it is going to be a great addition 🙂
Great job on the install.
Thank you
This was very detailed. Thank you!
Definitely
Great video. Full of good information.
Thank you
I use quickshute on all my machines, very impressed .
Same here, thank you.
@@HandyGuy2016 do you run mulch blades with that quick chute?
@@bobbianchini5086 No, just the high lifts
Very good looking mower.
Thank you
Great video
Thank you
Love my FW15, the mulch kit works well. Can I use this for mulching as well? Can you suggest a side mount catcher?
The accelerator aluminum catcher is my recommendation.
Do you use mulching blades with the QuikChute to help process the clippings better with the door closed? I know the chute is only closed for a few seconds until you can discharge again but I didn't know if needed to change blades from the high lifts.
No, I run the high lifts.
BTW this will work on the Snapper 32 inch FW15 pro. Both mowers are exactly the same other than a sticker with a logo.

Coming soon, but I think this is going to be the ultimate setup for me.

I have a side mount catcher that I will probably try out for this setup. I really think that would be the way to go on this machine.
Please please.
@@scottsnedigar7136 Will do, working on it right now.
I have an accelerator std catcher on my fw15 and a home made chute blocker. I catch as much as side discharge. Once customers see the look of a catcher they want it every time.
Will this work with the mulch kit installed or is the block off plate integrated with the baffles?
No it won't, the mulch kit is a different animal.
Easy install, handle needs to be 12"longer. You know that pawl (tumbler) has two mounting holes. you can use the lower hole to hold the door open slightly higher.
I didn't know that, thank you for the feedback.

Man drilling into that deck makes me nervous
Not something I enjoy doing for sure.
Do you still have the baffle under the deck with this setup?
Negative
Does that have the same hydro system like the newer snowthrowers?
Don't know
Can you leave the quick chute up in the open position, and use the ferris bagger that comes with the mower at the same time?
Not the Factory bagger but a side mount catcher works.
@@HandyGuy2016 so I should just get the quick chute and accelerator or do you suggest something else. Skip the ferris mulch kit and bag
@@drewd6083 yes, quick chute and accelerator is perfect.
I don’t see how you keep your mower so clean 😂. Mine is filthy. Might wanna look into replacing your front end with the upgraded kit. My old spindles bent when I hit a crack on the curb.
I have never had an issue with mine, and honestly I don't like the look of the replacement kit. I will probably leave it alone until I have an issue.
I clean them often, but they are not usually this clean lol.

@@superduty3632 thanks for responding. That clears it up for me.
Are you able to use the factory bagger with this installed? If so could you do a video showing how they work together
It will not, at least not without modification.
@@HandyGuy2016 That’s what I was afraid of.
@@bradflood7112 a side mount catcher will work with it, which I might try.
@@HandyGuy2016 I have both and find that the side catcher snags on i level ground and once it gets close to full will weigh to one side
Sorry if you read all that about the bagger question before I took it back out.
I know better than to ask a question before seeing the full video.
Lol, no problem I do that too.
Hi Bud
Do your baggers still fit over all your installed quick chutes?
Yes they do. Might take some modification depending on the catcher you choose. I would recommend going with an aluminum catcher because the weight matters over time.
@@HandyGuy2016 so the steel ones that are cheaper are heavier and more likely to rust?
Just heavier
So did the much kit not work well enough for you, I remember last year you had installed a kit on the same unit?
The mulch kit is great, but not perfect for every situation. I just prefer a chute block for my area.
Thanks happy Christ birth and a good new year. I’m thankful I had a good year even amid the covid nonsense.
Hey my friend can I use the quickchute as a mulcher if I choose.Thankyou great vids!!
@@louislograno7524 it doesn’t work well as a mulcher except with ultra light clippings and you raise the deck for the second cross cut
@@louislograno7524 no it doesn’t work well for that except in low thatch situations
For the 36 stand up. Were can I order the quick shot cover
Amazon or Qwickchute website
Thanks
You have probably moved on from this mower now ?
I just bought mine.
How would you say it's gives the best cut .
High lift blades with the chute block as needed
OR
Mulch everything with the wavy blades ?
Thanks
Still in use and high lift with open chute.
@@HandyGuy2016 thank you
You posted high lift blades as part number 5106420
And super high lift are 5108135
Which blade comes on the mower new ? I'm switching over to the chute blocker. I'm not impressed with the mulching on my mower
The high lift come on it, the super high lift work best.
Hi, does the accelerator bagger mount fit with the quik chute installed?
Mine does, because I made it myself, but I don't know about the factory one.
Also, mine is a Rackem brand not an accelerator. I went with Rackem because it was cheaper, but accelerator is what I would recommend because they are lighter weight.
@@HandyGuy2016 I already have the accelerator bagger for another machine as well as an extra mounting bracket. I am in the decision stage wether to go with the fw15 or the turfmaster.

Do you think the fw15 is capable of going up a couple steps to get into backyards or is the back end to heavy to lift?
Should be fine, I'm not a big guy and I can pick up the back or front with ease. The FW 15 will outlast the turfmaster for sure.

Check out the fw15 owners Facebook group lots of good info over there.
@@HandyGuy2016 why can't you keep the Chute block closed at all times?
@@juanmanuelmarquez4945 you can, but it is just a chute block not a full mulch kit, so it will leave a debris trail most likely.
@@HandyGuy2016 thanks for the clarification. I'm thinking about getting a FW15 this Friday. Not sure how to set it up. I mainly cut small yards. I like to bag the ones that are full of weeds or leaves. Do you think the best set up would be:

Thoughts?
What's the part number and or a Amazon number??
NQD-FW15 32" deck. Not selling on Amazon yet, but I found it on Arlington Power Equipment site.
Is this the latest model? 2022 may
The mower is a 2019, the Qwuickchute is a 2021 model.
@@HandyGuy2016 does this mower meet all your standards? Cut, mulch handling? Do you feel it’s pretty powerful? I’m thinking very heavy towards one! Fully loaded with mulch kit what would the price be?
The mulch kit is good if you cut weekly, otherwise it's just like any other mulch kit. The cut and handling are great.
Price??
$360 I believe.
