Awesome I'm glad you saw my vid.

I miss my Ferris

@doylemaintenance Ferris is a fine machine. I don't know what all brands you have access to, but badboys offer the best bang for your buck by a landslide. I run hustler because they are incredibly easy to work on and cut beautifully. Bad boys cut great also and if I just had my own acreage to mow I'd be purchasing a badboy Rogue with the Kawasaki.

Thanks for the tips.

Ya I think your right, these were factory tires that came with it, they aren't the best. Tread pattern is wrong.

bulldozer steering, good word for it. thanks

I agree I run 22 psi in front and 8 psi in rear, world of difference and better ride! Another note is instead of stalling one side by stopping one wheel to turn against, try letting it work with it!

I guess i got spoiled with my old ferris

You may be right there.

What would you recommend?

60 should be just enough for 8 acres.

Ok ill air them down a bit more thanks.

Thanks for the support.😊 Yes My Old Ferris was nothing like this one

Ok, do you own this make and model?

I drove my ferris the same way and it never spun like this.

I had a hustler FastTrack and drove the same way, and it never gave me problems. I’ve been running these mowers for 25 years. He’s not steering it wrong. The mower is a piece of junk.

⁠@@rogerbrown3874the fastrak was fine? I was planning to purchase a fastrak 48 but if it’s trash might look elsewhere

@@rogerbrown3874 He is stopping or reversing the inside wheel..... He is def driving the mower wrong. If you are driving the same, then you have been doing it wrong for 25 years.

Thanks for the click!

Its not you its the mower 2 weeks ago we purchased the raptor xd 54”. We previously used old used husltlers that were 10 plus years old. We loved them. When we purchased our new raptor we were incredibly disappointed with the same problem you have. We have 2 acres with uneven ground as well. Its a mower weight issue. Unbeknownst to us, our old hustlers were Fastrack models. We went thru the specs and a fastrack is commercial grade and weighs over 300# more and also has dual fuel tanks and hold 5 more gallons which is an extra 40#. So basically an extra 340# for the same 54” mower. Fortunately our dealer let us upgrade to the Fastrack model. Sticker shock tho unfortunately. 😢 Night and day difference on performance. Our dealer informed us in an effort for Hustler to keep up with competition they started producing “residential” mowers when previously only produced commercial grade. We have considerbly steep ditches we mow horizontally and i couldn’t make the mower “stick” only slide everywhere with the raptor and even on flat ground same problem. The only thing i can compare it to is driving an old rear wheel drive pickup with no weight in the rear. Frustrating for the amount of money you invest in a quality mower. Hope our experience helps.

@@paigekay6386 thank you for the input. I put in the video that my old ferris did not handle like this but people don't watch the whole vid and blame me. Oh well.
