I finished my spring clean ups and here is some of my equipment that I used. All the mowers have a front mounted rake and a bag. The first set of pictures is a 52" Ferris dual hydro wb.

why does so many people pay so much money for the ferris? why are they so good? they dont look like they are any where close to being worth it.

You have to use one to see for your self. I have a Ferris WB and I liked it better then my current Exmark TTHP. I never ripped the turf turning with it but the TTHP's small tires can really tear something up if your not careful. The Ferris mowers are built like tanks. They are worth it for many reasons.

I was wondering how you like the Ariens. I am think about buying one for my next trim mower. I will use it for bagging 90 percent of the time. Everything looks great by the way!!

Thanks. I only use it for 1 hour a week but so far I like it. It is the Ariens LM 21S and I paid $629 for it. It bags nice and is real fast.

JD lawn - The rakes on the 52" & 36" are made by Jrco and they cost around $450. The rake on the 21" is made by Ariens and it cost $100.

that is because you have never used one. I bought a ferris 7 years ago currently it has over 2000 hours on it and would start up and mow just like the new ones when I walk out to the shop and start it up after not running very much last year because it is now a back up mower

I bought the mower from my local dealer. So far I like it alot but I only use it about 5 hours a week. I wanted a 36" dual hydro wb to do my gated back yards and I paid $2500 for it.

Thanks

I noticed you have a trimmer trap blade blocker on that ferris.. How did u make it work with keeping the blade blocker on and still attaching the bag. I just bought a blade blocker and cannot use my bag anymore because of it.

The bag is on the ground and it isn't attached to the mower. When I do fall clean ups I will take the blade blocker off and put on the bracket for the bag.
