While you can order this chute blocker on numerous different websites... I prefer to go straight to the manufacture to be 100% certain that I get the EXACT one specified for MY mower. **Some mowers have angled discharge chutes (like the the Ferris Z3X) and come pre-molded to your specific deck.
I submitted an email online at and Dale with GTM Manufacturing (the creator of the Qwikchute) called me same day and got be set up with two brand new blockers and shipped them same day. Two days later I was making the install!

Thanks for the kind words Russel...this one just about got scrapped! 😂😂 It was windy and blew the camera (aka my phone) over 3 times... busted the mic, screen protector, and just about every last nerve I had... No my best work but I wanted to get it out there for those who were serious about needing a good review.

In the recording of it the sound was crystal clear (despite the three or four camera fails I had...it was a windy day lol) but after the upload it sounded off. I’m wondering if it’s the playback on my speakers or if it’s the audio in general. Thanks so much for the response!

@DaisyDukesLandscaping 2 жыл бұрын

No in all I’d say it’s still a good buy. The bagger system worked well but definitely has its limitations. I found it worked best to mulch first and then bag because of how fast it fills up. I would have like to seen a clam shell type option vs the bags but each have their own pros and cons. As far as the mower though it’s been very reliable.

Great video, Does this mower have the safety switch fault codes on the display- as far as if seat or parking brake switch open circuit-to quickly be able to check switches -if motor won’t start?

@DaisyDukesLandscaping 3 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately it doesn’t have anything like that on display for the general operator, but there is a diagnostic slot on the wire harness for the mechanics/dealer to troubleshoot something if it throws a code.

@grgygantz6760 Жыл бұрын

Good information . I have to ask, with a 72 inch deck. Just what type of properties are you cutting. In the Orlando area. Most will handle up to a 52 inch deck. Are you cutting highway Rite always. Saw this mower yesterday at the local dealer.

@DaisyDukesLandscaping Жыл бұрын

We mow commercial and governmental properties that are wide open and sometimes miles long so the less amount of passes the better!! Even use them for our residential routes (although we don’t have many small yards). I can stripe just as pretty with a 72” as I can with a 52” and neither mower will fit through at 36” walkthrough gate so I might as well maximize my efficiency!!! Twenty extra inches (from a 52” deck) is almost a 28% increase in efficiency… translate that into hours and that means if all things are equal and I only change deck size I’m cutting the same amount of grass in less time. A typical 8 hour day cutting grass with a 52” deck could be done in 5 hours and 45 mins (8hrs - 28%) with a 72” deck. I started buying bigger mowers as help got harder and harder to find and I’ve never looked back!

Any engine problems up to 2024? My dealer has a 61” with the Briggs 40 EFI. It’s a leftover 2023, but he only wants $14,000 for it. Tempted to grab it, but I’ve heard scary things about these Briggs EFI engines. Thanks.

Did I hear you say your z3x is a 72 in comparison to this wright. If so how do it do on the hills. I came across the drive belt video. I have a 61” and I keep thinking how the 72” would do since it would have the extra front end weight. I have a cub 972sd for my big and steel areas but that stand on is nibble I really like it.

@DaisyDukesLandscaping 11 ай бұрын

The z3x and the zXt are both 72” but I also have a 61” wright mmz. The mid mount z was the best sit down mower for hills… I’d have to say the z3x is better than the zXt though… and now that the tires are wearing down the zXt is breaking traction and washing out on hills pretty regular now. It still goes straight down or at an angle pretty good, but trying to cut parallel with steep hills isn’t as good as the other mowers.

Great review! Thank you! How do you think the ride comfort on this is when compared to a Ferris sit-down mower like the ISX 3300 with its patented suspension system? Do you have any experience with that Ferris? Thanks again!

@DaisyDukesLandscaping 3 жыл бұрын

Complete transparency, I’ve never ran any new sit down Ferris mowers to really compare apples to apples, but I know one of the chief complaints about the older models is as the shocks and suspension in general wears out it effects the cut quality...again I can’t speak on that first hand. My thoughts are with the zXt there are less moving parts to wear out/replace if something did go bad vs. 4 independent suspension points on many of the Ferris models. Also I have a Ferris z3x so I’m not impartial towards just wright.

How is the cut quality compared to the ferris?

@DaisyDukesLandscaping 3 жыл бұрын

Honestly it comes down to turf quality. When cutting maintained turf at 4”-4.25” you can tell a difference between which mower I use. In fact you can’t really tell a difference in any type of grass if all things are equal... I do think the zXt does a little better in thick and wet grass than the z3x with a 37hp vanguard.

In short it does pretty good… No worse than any other mower out there. Here a video from the early spring when the grass was thick, wet, and overgrown. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frugnpmnr8iRZHU.html Since this video the only time I’ve bogged it down is in super thick wet Bermuda grass after it rains or a heavy dew in the Morning…it makes a HUGE MESS of everything, but to be fair all my other mowers do too in the same conditions.

@@BigTader that’s surprising because scags usually cut great out the door. What kind of grass are you mowing and what part of the country.

@2020Tundra 2 жыл бұрын

I would add that you shouldn’t pressure wash your mower with a high psi pressure washer that’s pumping out 2500 or 3000 psi. However, you can use a less powerful electric pressure washer like those used by car detailers. A car detailer’s electric pressure washer runs anywhere from 900 to 1200 psi and still puts out like 2 gallons per minute. I’ve been using an electric pressure washer for the last 4 years to clean off my commercial zero turn without any issues.
