Early Everride Warriors (gen 1) had belt and pump issues. These problems were corrected in Gen 2. Currently selling Gen. 3.

Everride has a lifetime warranty on frames and decks I believe.

I just picked up a Everride Hornet 23HP, 52" deck. Love it. Small commercial machine.

Do some more searches. Many people on here do like them. The company was in $ trouble last year and went under. ARIENS bought them and production started again. The company who makes Everride previously was in business for 40+ years making mowers for other OEMS like John Deere.

The Everride design is unique (visually). It was originally designed for Honda when they where planning on launching their own ZTR. Honda backed out and sold the design to Auburn Consolidated Industries who sold the mower (Warrior) under the Everride name. They later designed the smaller Hornet.

They are great, overbuilt machines. Both ZTR's have 7 Ga frames and decks, big tires (mostly) and great powertrains. The Hornet has a aluminum oil tank with a heatsink built-in. Of course they also use fans on the pumps. Many other brands use cheap plastic tanks and in some cases no fans, just oil coolers.

The Height of Cut adjustment is 2nd to none. It's quick, 1-handed adjustments.

They also come standard with full suspension seats.

Some people on this forum can't say anything nice unless its a SCAG or EXMARK or TORO. I'm not too impressed with Exmark but SCAG's are built well.

 

I have an EverRide Warrior 27/60, 438 hours. Only problem so far was a loose wire on the charging system.

 

The design and quality of cut is excellent on the everide! The problem here is no support no warranty and now no dealers! The last dealer and only true dealer they had lost several thousand dollars in warranty and so he said good bye to them!

Also wrong my dealer going strong I have 2 warriors love them

 

Search my threads-I have 2 Everride Scorpions, the 34" FX and the 52", both great machines and I have NOTHING to complain about! Go Everride! I have had ZERO break-downs in a combined 350 hours of use.

 

Somewhat of a different topic but since Everride owners stepped forward.

I'm looking for a filter for the Hydro system. The website, manual, and marketing lit. says its a 25 micron filter. I pull the mfr. and model number from the factory installed hydro filter on my Hornet. It's a 10 micron (like Scag uses) instead of a 25 micron. Not that this matters all that much but can you guys with original filters OR filters they got at the dealer using the Everride Part Number 180909 take a look at their filters and post the MFR and model number?

I'm noticed many mistakes between the documentation and the mowers. I wonder if this is one of them. At least a 10 micron filters better than a 25 micron.

Any Hornet owners notice the height of cut syncro. process is wrong in the manual. My unit followed the manual which was wrong. Mentions a jam nut that they tell you to position against the wrong side of the bolt.

 

Go with the toro with no hours. And dont buy an everride stander because they are copied from wright, and the guy who owns wright sued so he made the design for their mowers too because they "infringed" or something, so he knowingly made their mowers worse. Or so i'm told.

 

I LOVE MINE..... no problems so far (knocking on wood) i love them oh by the way, they stripe good too :]

did you set up any kind of striping kit on yours?

 

What is wrong with my statement! The fact it is a good design or no support? Because both statements are TRUE in this area! There were Three dealers here no ZERO and no one locally will take them!

 

I will second WREBELMACHINE"S statement. He is talking about local dealers, not regional. All local dealers stopped selling them, there is a no-stock dealer for Everride in Billings. But that is a 40 minute drive from me. They are awsome machines and if quality dealers here would pick them up and provide good service, I think they would go over well.

 

Good dealer in our area for Everride. I have purchaed 5 Warriors over the last 3 years and they have been an outstanding mower for us.
You guys are right though..with no dealer close to support you, the Everride may not be the best in your situation. For me...I'll buy 5 more!!

 

All I can say is my Hornet has been bulletproof! I'm hopeful it has the best warranty of all.......one I never need to use! :laugh:

 

i have heard of ever ride, but i think they went belly up, because i can't get to there web site, only part's, manuals, and mower's for sale

 

I have had a Everide Warrior since 2007, it has been a great machine, still running strong, only parts ever replaced is the center spindle and belts.
