Learning Lawn Care #3: TAKE CARDS! A wholesome rant on taking credit cards in your business.
The maintenance kit you have linked is not for the JD LA145 riding lawn mower. The correct kit is the Home Maintenance Kit LG263.
Thanks! I’ve changed the link multiple times over the years it seems to change every so often.
What kind of sparkplug are you using ? so I can search it up
You will find parts for the John Deere when you need them. But it will come with a price. John Deere distributors mark up parts to ridiculous prices. A common 48” standon mower rear tire was quoted at $225 BEFORE Joe Biden, plus shipping of $30. With tax that is close to $275. The exact same tire off Amazon was $79.95 for 2 tires. Yes, a pair of tires for $79.95. I could give you many other quotes for parts.
You wont be disappointed with a Ferris. All of their standers are great.
One part the music is WAYYYY TOO LOUD. Sorry I tried fixing but it messes up when I export and it wasn’t until I began typing this very comment that I realized I should of just deleted it. Oh well. The trade-offs of iPhone video editing 😂
Pine straw looking good!!!
sounds like a horrible dealer
I don't ever use water on my mower. Its a 2019 and still looks brand new. I spray it down with dry wash and a towel. Then I put a coat of meguiars hyper dressing on everything. It helps the dirt and grass not to stick to the paint. I wish I could post a pick of it to show ya what my 4 year old mower looks like. I have the snapper pro ss100 which is the Ferris z1. Love it!! 👍👍👍
Great video informative and concise!! Right to the point. Most these lawn tractor dudes make freakin half hour videos, ain’t nobody got time for that!! My LA145 turns over but won’t start. Think it’s cuz I left fuel in it over the winter. I’m gonna try replacing fuel filter and spark plugs, hope that works. Those fuel line clips were a bitch to get off and one like bit right into the hose, I hope it didn’t puncture the hose but I had to break the clip to get it off
Great video I had no idea what I was doing before watching
Someone knows where can I get this machine here in orange county California?
Can you do video for drive belts transmission
First!! Doing a good job gets the work, keep it up!
Thanks buddy!
I ordered the kit from your link. I received kit 230. However, the LA145 docs show the Home Maintenance Kit needed is LG263. What is the difference? Does the link you posted send the wrong kit for the LA145?
Ya he linked the wrong kit. Takes 263
Thinking of buying 636m soon. I saw a video and the man was changing oil by sucking oil out with a pump. Does this mower have a drain valve
Have this mower and love it!! Stay away from the mulch kit. Purchase a grass flap!!
I want the JD 36", but about 3K less has me thinkin' Bradley 36"??? $4299 vs $7600 Ugh
Are you near north Georgia? I’ll sell you this one. I don’t use it nearly as much as I thought I would. I love the machine but a couple customers put gates up and I’m usually on the 60 inch Deere haha it’s only for 95ish hrs over the last couple seasons.
@@LowerLawns I'm north of Houston Texas.
Good point with the regreasing part! Thanks!
You might like Pro Car Beauty Red Devil degreaser. That’s what I use and I find it’s a lot more effective than purple power. Takes that residue right off after letting it sit for a minute so you don’t have to use a magic eraser. Nice Ferris! I’ve got the 3200 and I LOVE it. People might say doing this is stupid but if you take care of your equipment it’ll take care of you. I feel like we’d be pretty similar based on how you maintenance your stuff and from your description of how you cut lawns lol.
I’ll give it a look! Nothing beats clean machines and people look at your business differently as well. I love my Ferris but have switched to dear due to lack of dealer support and parts sourcing issues. I still use it a lot and think it’s the best mower but it’s such a set back when there are issues haha.
I just got a jonh deere 52 stander Last month now getting another one but 36"
Exactly what I was looking for ,thank you
Great glad it was helpful!
I'm waiting on a pulley for 61 ferris myself on backorder. I m glad a work on all my equipment I don't trust the dealers
Have you tried the deere 7 iron decks
Yes I purchased a 61 inch z960 from Deere last year and it cuts pretty darn well. I find that I don’t need to sharpen classes as often with it either. Not sure if it’s just the type of blade or the bigger engine but the z960 just cuts so well. Only draw back in my opinion is that it’s such a huge and heavy mower. Not as versatile as a a stander.
@@LowerLawns yes I want a stander I have a 930 and snapper/ ferris 61which is a little lighter I like them both the deere is heavier built
@@shanepipkin4041 yes sir. I still really believe that Ferris has the best mower out right now with their standers but the support from both dealer and the parts side is just the worst. I would own at least two more standers right now if they had stepped their game up.
JD is the last brand of mower that I would buy. There is nothing about them that put them over the top. JD is cheaper for a reason, Wrights are 100% made in USA.
Ehh, I disagree I use both Deere mowers(yes I bought another) every day the last two seasons and not a single issue and the cut quality is fantastic. The best part is I can leave them with my dealer for regular maintenance and it doesn’t cost $600+ dollars and take a month to get done(which was the case with my local Ferris dealers) I spend roughly $250 for oil, filters(air fuel, oil), plugs, new blades, greasing and cleaning and get my machines back in less than 7 days(usually 2-3).
I have been using Ferris srs z2 and z3x and totally understand what you're going through man! My z2 was new in 2017 and my one hydro gear blew out and it was about a $2,000 repair. I just bought this machine 3 years ago and this happened. Well luckily Ferris replaced the part for free and my dealer took care of the labor. But the mechanic said they tried to get the other one replaced too but Ferris wouldn't do it. Well the end of last season the other one started leaking. Luckily I bought a new z3x back in August and that's my backup if my z2 is in the shop. I'm going to have to look into the JD's more now! 👍
Yes sir I still love and use my z2 to this day even though I’ve bought three new Deere mowers. I truly believe they’ve got the greatest mower I just can’t get good help for the darn thing when I need it. Our local ag pro on the other hand has been absolutely phenomenal for fixing equipment they do all my Stihl equipment and mower repairs now and Deere financial has fantastic credit line for businesses (15,000) which is great for emergencies and it’s a “hidden trade line” so it doesn’t ding your credit monthly. If Ferris has that level of support it would be a no brainer all day but Deere has relieved a lot of headaches man.
Great video
Thanks man. Maybe I’ll be less lazy and get some more edited up haha
Great video
Thanks buddy. Should have another one up soon.
I went to my dealer where I bought my mower and they said 3-4 weeks for a mulch kit and went to a town 10 miles away and they had it at their second store and I got it in 2 days and put on in less then 1 hour so it’s not Ferris it’s the dealers
It’s possible depending on where you live. Not every town has a Ferris dealer. Maybe your area has more John Deere dealers around. We’re I live I don’t even know where they sale John Deere around me. Other then Lowe’s John Deere.
Ed says in one of his video's that the JD is an older version of the Wright stander. It looks like John Deere is using different pumps, all the Wright stuff uses Hydro-gear, I didn't see the sticker on the pumps for yours.
Yeah, it’s by no means wright standers best tech...why would it be? Smart on both Wright stander and Deere if you ask me. Wright gets a big check for older tried and true tech(outdated but still works like it would have) and Deere gets a foot in the stander space for what is pennies to them. I do not believe the deck is wrights deck though. Unless I’m missing a model I can’t find one that’s similar and it’s certainly not a Deere 7 iron deck. I think the 7 iron deck would take this thing to a crazy level.
Can you give another update video on your Deere and future plans on buying another or going another route? Thanks man. Good raw information here in your videos 👍🏽
The Deere is just fine. I have no plans to buy another one at the moment. I still run my old Ferris z2 for hills and the z960 for faster cuts on big lawns. Right now for 2021 I’m working on finding a good truck with four seats to hire a couple of people to help with mulch/pine straw and trimming hills and lakes. By 2022 If things work out with employees I would like to get a ramp rack(trailerrack.com) for my current 2 door Dodge Ram and send two guys out with that truck setup with a couple smaller machines. Essentially running two trucks by that point.
If you had better Ferris dealer support would you be all Ferris as a pose to Deere? Would you say Ferris is more all around superior to the Deere?
Dodge & Deere man, I like it 👍🏽
@@jamesstyres9133 yeah I think the machines are just the best. There are still weeks when I run just the Ferris z2. Like this season when things slowed I ran it for half October through November. I just like the end result better. Plus it’s much smaller and easier to maneuver but still has a 52 inch cut. I’ve just had such a bad customer support experience it’s not worth it from a business standpoint at the moment.
I see. Ok, nicely done. I’ll keep an eye out for your video notifications 👍🏽
🔥🔥
It says it’s age restricted why is that
I have no idea. The only reason I can imagine is your account is set up with the age under 18 and the video was uploaded as “does not contain content for children”
Left the ferris in September wont get it back til November?? Hmmmm do the ferris parts come from China i wonder?? My john deere e120 was in the shop for 2 half weeks tops! It was a oil issue but now fixed my uncle has a ferris as well i guess he likes it so far but im my grandpa child he was a john deere man so am i! Dude there's a reason why john deere been around 137 years strong! Think about that! Thanks for your video! 😉👍👍
Would you like for when you call John Deere for torque specs on a 9000$ Machine you purchased from them to tell you that they are busy and look it up on the internet. True story.
Dude look it up or book it in. They're not a call centre waiting for you to call and ask random questions. If you don't know it, pay for their service.
Im yet to successfully remove that rubber boot to spark plug without ripping the wire! Even after making couple cuts along the side of the boot to avoid that issue
Paulpro PP yes sir very poorly made on the fs70r I’ve since bought a couple higher grade stihl trimmers/edgers/kombi and none of those have had that issue so far.
I HAD ONE AND DIDN'T LIKE IT SO I WROTE IT A DEERE JOHN LETTER AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE PLACE I BOUGHT IT FROM.
Well produced instructional video. 👍🏼
Interesting about the mulch kit. I have one on my John Deere hydro 36 walk behind. It doesn’t seem to cut very well.. maybe I should take it off
Give it a shot man. You may have to change to a high lift blade once it is off. Mine had a multi purpose mulch/discharge blade on it since it came with the mulch kit. I switched out for the standard high lift discharge blades removed the mulch kit and it’s so much better. One thing to remember though is that this deck is likely to be different than yours. The Deere standers were outsourced to wright for the build and is therefore a wright stander deck design...yours will be a true John Deere deck most likely. There’s a lot of different factors to look into with a poor cut. Even just the grass types can trip you up.
Lower Lawns interesting. Okay I will look into it. Thanks for the info. Good luck this season to you!
I'd bet anything you didnt call Joe Hill in Caves Springs, GA. Absolute best dealer hands down.
dalton bonanno When I needed a pulley from a 52 inch deck I went to Ferris dealer locator and started down the list. Going back to look, They’re #10 on the list and I didn’t get a solution and the name doesn’t stand out remotely so they didn’t leave an impression. That’s not to say they’re bad but just not anything unique based on calling a ton of other dealers and getting the same thing. Not sure what to tell you.
It says they’re only 30 minutes further than the dealer I use now so I would have loved to use someone that close for sure.
@@LowerLawns You said you had called every dealer in GA in your video. So thought id recommend a top notch dealer.
Start with the correct basic tell the other people don’t just pull the plug outta the box you have to set the proper clearance on the plug before installing I just didn’t see that
Joe Sinnott stihls spark plugs are quite reliably pre-gapped. I used to check every single time to find they’re almost always ready to go and a .001 difference in gap won’t cause any noticeable change. so unless you’ve dropped it or applied pressure accidentally you should be fine.
I went from Deere to Ferris this year, and I'm not going back, but I had a bad JD dealer and a great Ferris dealer.
HandyGuy 2016 yeah it seems everyone will have a different experience. Unfortunately our dealers don’t seem to buy much directly from Ferris for whatever reason so getting a parts was a monumental task with them haha. Just not enough companies out there take pride in actually taking care of their customers.
@@LowerLawns Very true.
John Deere has best parts system hands down
Also I subscribed :)
HandyGuy 2016 thanks bro! I just saw this comment notification haha
I blow off the mowers after each job and at the end of the day with a backpack blower, to help keep mine clean. I aslo use the purple power at a 50/50 mix to clean them about once a month and then dry them off with the backpack blower after. Ferris Z3X 61'' and 52'' 2019 models.
I used to mow the creator of purple power n south carolina..
Dealer support is crucial. Gotta have good support. My dealer sells everything so I can take my pick but if it was just one brand, that would be my brand. Their support is great. Sounds like Deere for you!
So far so good! I’ll happily give them 100% of my business. I’ve already been buying and repairing all of my stihl equipment with them this year and it’s been a breeze. Total difference. Not to mention their finance options are just second to none.
Well said! The silly gooses bit made me laugh! :)
Copper Creek Cuts Lawn Care thanks man I was gonna say if I nickname my people it would be a parody like “Mowrons” or something haha glad you got a laugh
I don't think this guy read the instruction manual.
Sully D. Why tho?
I remember before the tornado took the front and back pine trees down it my yard I had all of the pine straw I needed never thought about buying it,my next door neighbor rakes his up and puts it around his trees.
Mark's Reviews and RANTS yeah I’m surprised reading comments on some RUclips channels about how many people have never seen it used in landscapes before. We go through tons here haha
This is exactly what I have found. I have never gotten a Facebook bid because someone will ALWAYS be cheaper than me! :)
Copper Creek Cuts Lawn Care yeah I stopped taking Facebook bids after a lady yelled, “why the hell is it so much?!!!?” She added a few other things in there but you get it haha.
@@LowerLawns XD
I used to see signs around here that said something like grass cut $30.00 now they say starting at $35.00.
Mark's Reviews and RANTS yes sir we’ve got a lot of $35 signs every year but wouldn’t you know they aren’t there the following year haha
