they should have put a 1 gallon fuel tank on a raised bracket platform in front of the engine by the handle and I also agree the height adjustment should have been clearly indicated and makes in inches not just standard increments but 1/4 inch increments for what it now costs 3900 +tax these 2 areas should be addressed and straightened out

Thanks for the review. I have been following you since you first purchased this. I'm getting one for my personal use along with the mulch kit. Thanks again. Very helpful!

Thanks for the video. Looks like a quality mower. I will be looking forward to your DIY grass catcher. :)

I use to own a scag 32 inch for about 10 years, I sold it for a toro commercial 21 inch because my yard isn’t that big . I’m thinking of going back to a 32 inch cut and getting the Ferris FW 15 seems like a nice machine. Good review 🇺🇸

Good review, seems like a solid machine. I like the front caster wheels.

Very small fuel tank and steep price tag is why I passed. Bought a Cub Cadet 33 wide area mower for $1299.

Definitely gonna look at this when/if my ExMark commercial 30 ever dies. Great review.

I'm really like the mower very easy to start one pull

Nice review mate. Looks like a great machine

Thanks for the feedback

Nice to hear that not even once did you say it wasnt worth the price these cost, that speaks volumes to me, i could do %90 of my lawns with one of these 32" , i never bought the Toro ones after i heard about the transmissions and $2800 can be worth it if the machine holds together for a decade instead of a season and a half like the Toro's do.

Bud, I was finally able to get gator blades for my fw15. Started with Oregon 396-716. They have the carbide edge (g6). Take 'em to a machine shop along with an old blade and they can punch out the holes to match. They are much better than the factory wavy mulch blades (those had no lift at all). Can really cover more ground before the bagger is full and best of all it picks up acorns and sticks way better.

Any bagger tube clogs up with wet grass based on my experience. Thanks for the review - very informative!!

I'm really looking at this machine thank you for urine output now is worried about leaf clean UPS

Great review! Fine machine! I'd love to have one but,unfortunately can't justify using a mower that small on my properties. It's just not my niche 🤷‍♂️ 52"& 61" for me 😉

Thanks for the review. Looking to replace my 28 inch worldlawn.

Great solid review!

I wasnt able to get my hands on a caster model, but as i mentioned on a comment on another of your videos, i purchased mine new at only $2000. My only complaint is the "go handle"... ill call it that.... When i turn, the little foam rubber grips always grab my shirt, and twist it around my torso lol. Im constantly pulling my shirt from around the end of it, and straightening it out on my body. Its actually ripping holes in some older shirts

You would be happy with an Accelerator. Wet/damp grass and leaves are no problem. Gets a bit dusty in the dry season but they sell a dust cover for it. Have you ever looked at a Honda Commercial? Thanks, very clear review of this equipment!

I live in New Zealand and one of the weter places and find not to many mowers catch well in the wet Testarossa go's well.

Excellent review.

I think if you do try out a side mount bagger, you should look at the grass packer. It's a plastic/ polymer vs aluminum.

Great review

This made me go buy one

Nice review my man. Btw, I know you were running quite a bit of the Craftsman 19.2 tools in your handyman business. I have plenty of the 19.2 tools, and I'm about to start doing more handyman work in addition to lawn care. From 1 to 10 how do you rate the Craftsman 19.2 line for a "prosumer", pros/cons in your opinion. Thanks

Finally saw one in person the other day. Would be a nice step up from my 21 Toro. Have you come across any problems with your front caster bending?

Thank you for the great video. I just did my first oil change on the FW15. I used an oil extractor but with this machine I wasn't able to put the hose all the way into the engine. Needless to say, after unscrewing the nut I made a huge mess. There has to be a better way than using almost a roll of shop towels. Am I missing something? Thank you.

I wonder if they have fixed the height settings on the newer models? I also wish it had a 1 gallon fuel tank but it’s not a deal breaker for me

Was hoping to see the side bagger and mulching blades. My 30” mower is a rear bagger it works ok. How does this mulch overall? Mine is terrible but it’s better since I installed high lift and baffle. This seems like a good mower.

My FW15 has 15 Hours as well, bought it late last season. I modified mine with a side bagger system which works fantastic! My only suggestion to Ferris is to redesign the handlebars to more of a bike style hand grips to improve handling (steering) on hills. The added weight kit does help. Other than that I’m excited to start 2020 off having this mower in my lawncare setup this season.

Right on. Good to hear you're happy with it. Do you think it's too heavy that it needs power steering?

Thanks friend 👍

Hi 👋 appreciate your channel I Just bought the fs 15 . How does the close off Shute you have there work? Does it mulch good in most conditions ? Thanks Todd Absolute landscaping

Nice mower. I thought about this unit but eventually went with a WB.Im sure you could get an accelerator bagger. Not sure how the deck would take the weight.

Question about the speed control; the bar on the handle engages the drive and the lever on the panel controls the speed. Is the bar just an on/off switch? In other words, does pressing on the bar in any amount fully engage the drive wheels or does it go faster or slower depending on how far you depress the bar, with the lever acting as a max speed limiter?

Hey Bud, I’m actually considering buying the Fw15. Also looking at the FW25 used about 3 years old with 30 hours on it or $4500. Seems a little high though. May go with the FW15. Any idea if the cut of the 15 improves while side discharging and using the high lift blades and removing the deflector? I read somewhere that the cut quality improved quite a bit in this configuration

Hey Bud, if you get a chance could you see what number is stamped into the blades? I’m curious whether this uses the same blades as my 48” Z1. That would be ideal. Thanks.

For some reason this just showed up in my KZfaq tv feed 😂 Do you have a 3 year review coming up?

How does it perform on hills and is the weight a disadvantage? Thank you, be safe and take care.

Maybe the decal for the cutting height is designed for international use? Instead of needing one in inches and one in millimeters?

Accelerator just released a side catcher for the unit.

We have toro turfmaster, I like it very much would be nice to try this one as well. This year they put a better engine, Kohler instead of Kawasaki. What app did you use for the intro? I like it

Do you think this is worth the buy for a homeowner? I’m in the market for a good quality mower and I don’t think I’ll get a decent riding mower until I hit 5-6k. Atm I’m running a Troy bilt with a Honda mower but the 21 inch deck is kinda small for what I’m doing.

Does this have timed blades? How hard are they to take on and off?

Hydro with chain drive right? Do you have to service the chain ?

Yes this mower has very good cut quality but how easy is the belt swap

How high can you set the cutting height on this? I like to mow at 4.5 inches in the summer and many machines won't go that high. Thanks!

i wont to buy one i see other with them and they are mixed , are the blades belt driven

how does it do on steep hills (12-13 percent grade)

And you failed to mention it's the right color 😎.

You missing part in the Mulching kid is othe part coming with the original mower

Do you happen to know the part number for the front weight kit for the FW15?

Have you ever seen a more aggressive tire for the Ferris?

Ferris FW 15 is by far the most expensive wide area walk behind mower on the market.. Sure, it's 32" vs the standard 30" but I don't see that price difference when comparing it to Exmark 30" or a Turfmaster for example.

Just used my FW15 for the first time today. Have read a few comments about caster issues which appears to affect some of the original units. I just brought mine but its motor is dated 01/19 so maybe its been sitting around. I noticed some cut quality issues where each line cut doesn't match its stepped. Checked the blades and such. The only thing I can figure is one of the casters sits a little higher than the other. Maybe adding weight would help. Just curious if you've seen any of those kind of issues with height from line to line matching. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey I like the machine but don’t like the bagger system. Should be catcher right off the deck.

I'm sure it's well worth $3000.00 being that well built but it's out of my price range and I had to settle with the Timemaster 30. The only Ferris dealer is 50 miles anyhow so any repairs and such would be to far.

Guys, that review these mowers I have yet to see someone tell me if the blade system is a timed or independent. If it's timed like that goofy Toro it's too dangerous. Iam guessing it has 2 blades would've been nice showing underneath and talking about the blades instead of talking about the height adjusters and bagging. I have a Foley Quad Cut that has 4 8 inch blades from 1961 with a cast Aluminum deck 32 inch wide makes my yard looking like a golf course and can go through 8 inches if grass without bogging down I'll put this mower up against this or any other mower on the market!

How much does this machine weigh?

Does it leave ruts when the grass is wet? That would be my only worry

Idk why my deck adjustment thing is really hard like stuck

Is their a 36”?

Price🤗

Caster broke on the 6th week of use. my fw15 don't worth $3000 sorry

hey but my dealer put the handle in the highest position and it fit me like a glove as I'm 6ft5in and 228lbs I used to be as thin as a pencil not anymore they say we're just getting old and fat from the wife's good cooking and a couple drinks afterwords

You a firefighter?
