Today we are picking up our demo of the brand new Ferris Z3X 61" Stand On lawn mower! I'm pumped to be checking this 61" unit with the 37hp Briggs and Stratton Vanguard with the Oil Guard system.
This was one of the most requested mowers to be featured on our lawn mower demo series by you guys. Ferris and I mobilized and in less than 2 weeks, they were able to get a unit in our hands, how cool is that.
I will say this, I have never seen a Ferris mower before this nor have I ever used one. Where I live, we don't really see that much Ferris. But I will say this, after the drop off and walk around, I will say I am super impressed by the stats. This sounds like a solid unit.
Big thank you to Ferris for lining up this demo! Also big thank you to Craig and his distributor PACE for bringing the unit out to us! It was a blast getting to learn about the unit and now it's time to go lay some stripes!
What do you guys think about the Ferris Z3X stand on unit? Do you guys currently own or run one? If so, how many hours, and how have you liked it? Leave me a comment down below!

I’ve basically have used every standing unit, and I can say this is the best one yet! I’ve been in the business for 30 yrs. The hydraulics are quick snappy, and like you said buttery smooth. I just came from grandstands to these. The cut is a lot better than Toro, and stripes nicely. Toro cuts nice but when in deeper grass the Toro leaves sprigs, and have to double cut. Not that way with Ferris. The Briggs 28 Hp Vanguard has the torque like a diesel, and has plenty of power to spare. If you are looking for a stander, I highly recommend the ones I’ve got is the 52/61” Z2.

“...give us your feedback, and tell us what we need to do better.” Craig, that’s a great closing line. It shows receptivity to input on areas where the product can be improved. The perfect mower doesn’t exist anywhere, from any manufacturer. However, those that demonstrate that they are journeying toward that goal, with constant improvement along the way, will always get a serious look from me. Brian, looking forward to your videos on this model.

@stroutstergmail 6 жыл бұрын

Got about 30 hours on the new z2 52 inch. Bought it based on over 20 years using Ferris. I find the cut quality is best. To be fair, I've never tried other brand standers. It's by far the best mower I've ever owned. All day comfort. The oil guard system is cool. 500 hr interval? Crazy! Oil still looks like honey after 30 hrs. There is a learning curve in regard to turning. Those big ass tires will chew up the lawn, turn slow. I also like the fact that you can grease the spindles without removing anything to gain access, takes two minutes. Don't get rid of your walk behind tho.. you'll still need it for those steep hillsides. The stander feels a little uneasy on anything around 25 degrees and will skid on wet grass. But I tell ya I love it and look forward to mowing with it every day.

Max Bewsey I have both the z2 52" (30 hours) and the z1 36" (85 hours). Absolutely love the z2, I'm sure you do as well. I wouldn't really recommend the 36 though. I too have a bunch of gated back yards, but the 36 seems very heavy for such a small wheel base, and also lacks quite a bit of power. The hydros don't feel nearly as responsive as the z2. I am considering selling the z1 to get the 36 hydro walk behind.

Ferris mowers are great! Used about 8 different models over the last 11 years and their zero turns are amazing. I mow 7 acres of our fire company property which is mostly uneven field using the IS 3100 with a Vanguard 32 hp big block in a 61" deck and 7 acres takes about 2 hours on average. We have had the mower for 9 years and its going strong with 500 hours and no major issues. Dealer support and service is huge though. Best of luck. I have faith in Ferris. If this unit performs like their zero turns it may take the crown.

They will climb a hill like no other, plenty of power, the efi Briggs motor is flawless, great cut quality, fast and comfortable.... my only real complaint has been where the oil filter is located makes a mess and we have one lift bar for the deck that periodically will bend. The Oil Guard system wasn’t available when I bought my mowers but that took care of the messy oil filter issue, and we made our own lift bar to solve that issue..... love the Ferris machines

Was that model an option, or was that model not discounted? Curious why you didn’t opt for the suspension model.

The best selling point about the Ferris is the vanguard oil guard system, that engine will last forever if you change the oil regularly. I have the 35hp vanguard on my Hurricane z3 and it sounds like a jet. I run Mobil synthetic oil in it and the oil never gets dirty. There’s lots of good mowers out like Toro, Wright, Scag but the oil guard system makes this mower idiot proof for your workers.

Deese Lawn and Home Services Inc on steeper hills or when wet, don’t go down hill, only up hill. Even going sideways doesn’t work, but if it’s dry and not too steep, the Z1 is the baddest, quickest, most fun machine ever.

Richard Blood side to side on a very steep hill it does not do the best. I demoed a Wright Z 52 that did much better on the same hill. Other than that we love the machine no issues at all and great cut. I just bought the Wright ZX 61" might get the Z3 Ferris 61" soon!

kevin lancaster I have only used side to side, not up and down....

the main issue with the smaller deck/wheel base SRS Z series is side to side on slopes or when going down hill. The smaller mowers tend to want to "spin" into their natural center of gravity pulling on them down their least resistant path down the slope. If you get what I mean. Up Hill only is the best because it puts the weight father back an into the axis of the rear wheels, with very little weight on the deck side. Trying the side to side method will result in skiing rather than driving. Mowing diagonally as the mower and slip balance out across the slope. It will leave marks down into the top soil for sure. Attempting to go down hill seems fine enough until there is an obstacle (small tree) within your pass and you must deviate from your straight down path to try and go around. This usually results in spin sliding sideways and being stopped by said obstacle. On really challenging slopes, only use this machine to go straight up, leaving any turning to be done when you top the hill.

kevin lancaster wow dude thank you so much for your input. I cut a lot of properties with small gates and big backyard with hills that are terrible for a push mower but not that crazy. And everyone’s comments talking about the bigger models not being good on hills has me doubting the z1 that I have on the way right now. I’m wondering if I made a bad decision after reading some of the comments here about 48s and stuff and then I see your comment making me feel much like I thought it would be. Very glad to see your comment and info on it. So thanks to you!

We run three Ferris mowers. 2-IS3200Z 37hp/72" and a Z1 23hp/36" like them a lot

ChrisCross Lawncare do you like the vanguard motor on the 36? How does it handle minor slopes? Someone commented on here and it said it doesn’t have enough power. Maybe they got the 18 hp kawi? Is it an awesome lawn mower for small backyards? Thanks in advance.

ChrisCross Lawncare I’m not expecting great stripes like the bigger models but does it stripe any at all?

mccool24 The 36” Z1 has plenty of power. 23hp on a 36” cut....that’s a ton! The Z1 does pretty good on the hills and slopes..when you first start using the 36”, there’s a “get used to” time because of the smaller size (I guess there was for us because of running 72 inch mowers as a standard on most of our jobs) I would definitely recommend the 23hp:36 inch FERRIS! Z1

Brian make sure to cut in wet thick grass if possible that may sway your opinion. That being said great mower especially with that 37 vanguard

Glad you had the opportunity in wet grass. Some complain it clumps when wet so I just wanted to throw it out there. I’m sure the velocity plus and JD seven iron deck which are king for wet grass are better but honestly the Ferris deck looks like it would do well. I had heard some complaints of wet grass but glad they aren’t 100% true. Thanks brian

Would like to know how easy it is to get the blades on and off, change the oil and filter, and access to grease the spindles.

Florida Treasure Hunter the oil filter is right on top of the metal reservoir there. It’s a cartridge type that pulls out.

Florida Treasure Hunter yeah a lot of the selling point of the oil guard system is less maintenance because the increase capacity and cooling up the oil and easier maintenance by the location of the oil and filter

I have the z2 52 inch. Greasing the spindles takes 2 minutes. Nothing in the way.
