Ferris Z turn

I watched a 3 wheeler trying to work on a slope/bank with damp/wet grass he not have a good time. So I not think I go that way. But that was 18 years ago with a 61" he lift deck to get some weight.

The front yard has a good slope with pine trees with lower branches trimmed. Grass and stuff grows in there. Old lawn tractor struggled on damp grass also. Hopefully this get between trees ok. I use old sickle bar to get under the trees.

I try the demo tonight and see how it go.

Ferris Z turn

Demo'ed a IS500Z with a 44" deck, had for 2 days. Wrote check for it today. I am impressed it go better up thru trees than old JD 112. It mow at rocket speed. Zip right around everything. Does not like to turn on down slope. Still have learning curve not to skid tire in turns.
