I almost pulled the trigger on a Ferris last month. But that B&S engine turned me away pretty quick.

DO NOT BUY ANY KUBOTA PRODUCT I BOUGHT A NEW KUBOTA LX 4020 TRACTOR TO USE FOR A SNOW REMOVAL BUSINESS IN BRIAN HEAD, UT. I HAD TO PURCHASE FROM A DEALERSHIP IN COLORADO AS IT WAS THE ONLY KUBOTA DEALERSHIP WITHIN A 1000 MILE SEARCH TO HAVE THE TRACTOR I NEEDED FOR THE PURPOSE INTENDED. The Dealership, Wickham Tractor in Fort Collins, CO sold me the tractor and added Howes diesel treatment to the tank as well as selling me the remainder of the bottle to use to prevent the fuel from jelling. I Used as per specs. Tractor was purchased on 11/21/23 and I picked it up and transported it back to UT. Tractor was in operation for 17.2 hours before it would not start. Local Kubota dealerships said they would not come out to try to fix it as we did not buy it from them. Took it to Las Vegas, NV, as they were closest Kubota dealership, dropped off on 1/8/24 at 730 am. Kubota dealership said the fuel smelled funny so it wasn't covered under warranty and said $12000.00 plus to fix. The DPF was completely clogged and the only codes were low temp MAF sensor and no communication with EGR. Western area rep said there was no fuel to test because I drained it. This is a Lie. Had more than 6 gallons of fuel in it when i dropped it off. I have all the emails and correspondences and text messages, proving they denied coverage for adding a fuel additive. Sergio at Kubota customer service said, “When I put fuel in the tractor it voided warranty.” Apco, the Kubota dealership in Las Vegas, sent out the injectors for testing they came back as bad due to fuel contamination on 1/23/24. Kubota persisted in their point of me putting bad fuel in the Tractor. When I called the tester, I pressed about the fuel contamination. The person who did the test, said it was visible metal in the injectors that most likely came from the high pressure fuel pump. There was no metal in the fuel tank, fuel filter or fuel water separator. The dealership i bought the tractor from said they were the only ones that could help me at this point due to Kubota policy. Eddie at Wickham tractor told me I needed to bring the tractor back to them, 1367 miles round trip. and they would sell me a new one because I had broken this one. And would see about trying to fix the one I had already bought for a discount. I transported the tractor back to Greely, CO to Wickham on 1/18/24 they tested the fuel that was still in the filters and it came back as fine 2/8/24 so they were going to replace the entire engine. This could take between 3 to 9 months. My warranty coverage says all warranty work to be completed within 30 days. On 2/28/24 I found out there was internal Kubota Service Bulletin that came out to all the dealers the week before I bought the tractor stating the very problems my tractor was having. They knew this, and still denied coverage, and finally, when I presented this fraud to Kubota, on 3/7/24 Wickham tractor said they were going to replace the tractor with a new one, but wouldn't give me a timeline of when I would get a new one and I would have the expense of picking it up from them verses a local dealership. These delays have cost me my business and reputation to move snow I had to pay out my competitors and cancel and refund all my contracts. A service bulletin for this tractor was issued before I bought it stating this very problem. and it was to be fixed at Kubotas expense. They knew the problem existed, they tried to blame it on me for adding fuel supplement, they tried to coerce me into buying a new tractor on top of the broken one so i didn't lose my business. they refused to cover the cost of repair until i proved their fraud, and intent by pushing the narrative and then changing and deleting emails. I have all emails and correspondence showing the timeline, the fraud and intent.

Nice machine but i would recommend getting different engine like kawasaki. Briggs is a garbage company. Dont honor warranty and engines are not reliable

I have a new Toro lithium, it sucks, drive wheel falls/self-powers off in 2nd hour, battery shorts, and on-line Toro will not take it back. They do not take items back if you use it for 1 minute! Their rear left geared wheel unbolts itself from the bracket, it self destructs! Two others have the same problem. Their repair dealer literally told me "with Toro, its Buyer Beware". I have a Toro case number, a BBB case number, and a US Consumer Product Safety Commission case number. Save yourself and learn from my mistake, and stay away from Toro.

Thank you for the comparison, it's a great help. Seems pretty equal between them.

I have a 15 year old Ferris and it is very reliable and of solid construction. I am planning on buying a new one next year.

If the front goes down in the low ground, it’s going to cut the grass very low because of the two spring at the front

I’ve had the ISX 2200 61” with the Vanguard oil system. Absolutely Love it. The only thing I don’t like is the rediculous 30$ price for the Vanguard oil filter. I like the system and the concept, but 30$ for an oil filter is nothing but a ripoff in my book. I think they could have easily used an externally mounted spin on filter.

Need a 42 inch, but not buying a Briggs & Sratton piece of junk motor.

I want something that rides like a Cadillac without breaking my back or scalping the grass. I currently have a JD Z-960 and it is a tank. Granted, It was overpriced in my opinion but I couldn’t ever foresee a time that I would break anything on it other than maybe a belt. The forks and spindles are solid cast iron. Pretty much most commercial mowers today with the exception of a few, will hold up to everything you put it through. As long as you have a good reliable engine and service it regularly, they will last a long time.

People can't afford mowers to mow their flicking lawns they so expensive

Finally got a ISX 800 with the Kawasaki,love it!

I'll stick with Exmark

That much money to cut grass and pollute the air, it better cut the grass all by itself without any human intervention. No wonder Americans are bankrupt. Not to mention sick and fat.

I want a White Seat, MY ASS GETS HOT !!!!

For crying out loud, get a lapel mic…

I have a 2018 ck3510 hse cab model. Absolutely love the thing and it’s been a real workhorse for us. In orange or bobcat white you can’t go wrong

Good video!

I have the 3200z mower. It does ride very nice, the one issue I have is that it doesn’t cut the grass near as well as an Ex-mark. When I cut the grass it will not cut the grass at the same height where the tires run over the grass. Where the tires run over the grass and is pushed down the blades can’t suck the grass up enough to cut the grass, so I always have longer grass where the tires run over the grass. Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks

Can’t hear what you’re saying for the background noise

Like john deere way over priced

I’ve never heard of Ferris! I’ll have to look into that company

How much is it cash

Nice video. Would you mind filling out the About section on your channel so we can see your business address? Or throw it in the description. Keep it up!

VERY nice! 👍

I hear the phones ringing already.

What engine would you recommend/ choose on an isx 800 52" (2024) ?

Good video...but really need to work on better audio.

I bought a new white Kioti 40hp. I'm patiently waiting for it to arrive.

I liked the part where they showed the belts, spindles , idlers deck build. All easy to get to and replace by owner, I'm sure.

Doesn't have a suspension on the mower cause the deck to raise and lower with bumps, causing scalping and uneven cut? Toro put the suspension on the rider, not the machine.

You guy's need clip Mics, to much echo

I'm sure it's a good video, too bad i can't hear it

Are those Spartan mowers made by BadBoy😊
