Those big doughnuts should get the job done. Nice how they clean themselves. On my Ferris I loaded the tires and it makes even more traction. I suppose you have the floating seat on the mower too. The Ferris is easier on a persons back for sure.

I would install no other tire than the Versa Turf on this mower after 4 years they have proven to be awesome. There may be other tires available now...I don't know. Versa Turf tires work very well on this mower. Mow safely thank you for commenting.

I was researching replacement tires for my is3200 and came across the versa turf tires, then found this video of them actually on the machine I want to use them on which helped me verify they will fit so thanks for that! . They just arrived today so I'll be installing them soon...I use my Ferris in my business and the added traction of versa turf on saturated ground will be a huge plus in the summer here, along with the fact they are radial tires which just ride better and tend to last longer (Spartan mower has their own custom radial tire but they don't make it in 26 inch size or I might have gone with that) Have you noticed if your versaturfs track badly on concrete? I used to run at101 tires on my exmark mower but had to stop because they would track up concrete very noticeably if I turned at all on it. thanks for the video!

Did you consider the Kenda K-502 Terra Trac? This is the tire that comes on the 3200 midnight. I ask because I mow around a 2 acre pond, but its not mud I worry about, but a hill I must mow and lose traction coming down quite often.

Hello Marauder, Thanks for the video. I have is3200z 72 inch deck. I was seriously thinking of up grating the tires due to dirt buildup, Traction and better ride. I like your carlisle versa turf tires are self cleaning on the outer sides. Not so much in the middle? Did you try to mount the tires on the rims that came with the Ferris? Thank you, The best to you. Mike How much was the tires and rims?

@lilchirp4846 3 жыл бұрын

how do they compare to the standard turf tires as far as leaving tracks and tear up on the lawn? would you recommend for a hybrid solution for when more traction is needed on hills but still doing a good job on mostly flat lawns?

@maraudermitchelli 3 жыл бұрын

Versa Turf is fantastic...i think it's much better than a standard turn tire. It's a radial tire with great traction in slippery conditions...how much better than you stock tires...is the traction value to you? I can answer, we may be installing this type of tire on our new 5090M tractor. Stay safe.

Why did you choose the Ferris over the Deere? I did demo a Ferris and wow the suspension is night and day difference. I am choosing to put the suspension forks on my Deere to see if that improves the ride.

@maraudermitchelli 3 жыл бұрын

Race i was frustrated the JD only offered a Kohler engine on the fuel injected mowers. JD almost hides the engine brand in their literature. Also the JD other than the tweet tires was old technology. So i stumbled onto the Ferris, was fascinated by the suspension, then I researched the American made fuel injected Briggs engine with 6 quarts of oil, researched where the engine was made in texas, and the mower is made in New York State...very impressed with all. The suspension saved my back, the engine sounds like a harley. I use the mower as a brush hog. I'm extremely impressed with the Ferris...my neighbor bought a 28hp Ferris, my dealer told me that usually happens. I put versa turf radial tires on it, which made the ride even better, and the traction amazing. I'm a John Deere guy, but love my Ferris demo one and you'll understand. My awesome John Deere dealer was very understanding, great dealership. I hope this helps, stay safe and thank you for supporting my channel.

I would not mow that area with my hustler Super Z , it weighs about 1100 pounds. It doesn't matter what tire you put on a heavy mower, you are going to tear up the area. If I felt that I absolutely HAD to mow there , I would get a smaller /lighter mower. I'm no Archimedes but I figured that out long ago. That is why LGP( low ground pressure) dozers have wider tracks than dozers used in mines , and other hard packed areas. You do have nice grass between the ruts though.

@maraudermitchelli 11 ай бұрын

The Ferris weighs over 1600lbs it’s a pig. The tires make it more capable on my property but not invincible. The tires are more aggressive on my lawn and do dig in wet areas…I think they have performed well on this machine but not for everyone. Thank you 😊
