Thank you

Very welcome, happy to help.

Definitely

I think it is going to be a great addition 🙂

Thank you

Same here, thank you.

@@HandyGuy2016 do you run mulch blades with that quick chute?

@@bobbianchini5086 No, just the high lifts

Definitely

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

No, I run the high lifts.

The accelerator aluminum catcher is my recommendation.

I didn't know that, thank you for the feedback.

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.

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

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.

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.

@@superduty3632 thanks for responding. That clears it up for me.

No it won't, the mulch kit is a different animal.

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.

Good point

Lol, no problem I do that too.

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.

Not something I enjoy doing for sure.

Don't know

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

Negative

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

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

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.

Amazon or Qwickchute website

Thanks

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. 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?

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.

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.

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: 1. High lift blades 2. Chute block 3. Accelerator Thoughts?

NQD-FW15 32" deck. Not selling on Amazon yet, but I found it on Arlington Power Equipment site.

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.

$360 I believe.
