Buying another Wright ZK with a Wright vac triple bagging system

[@jaybrown29]

Zks are the best. Great video on how easy it is to take off

[@michaelferris6370]

Absolutely best mower on the market zero complaints about them! Glad you liked the video!

[@Imdustin88]

I wish exmark would make a simple rear mount bagger system for the stand on mowers. I might buy it and modify it to fit one.

[@michaelferris6370]

@@Imdustin88 Exmark actually just came out with a redesigned stander and they have a double bagger that mounts to the side kinda like the toros. Looks nice I’d like to try one out some day.

[@evank7444]

Wow, thank you for making this video. Def gonna check out the wright zk. Im the same way, I like the stander more than the zero turn, but was thinking of getting another lazer for the bagging. Nice to see the new bagger

[@michaelferris6370]

I have both the Wright ZK and a Exmark lazer Z and have thousands of hours between the 2 of them. I have always found the Wright is faster,better built, more reliable and always cuts excellent as well as takes hills better. The bagging system Wright made seems very very good. Let me know if you have any questions about it. Would be happy to get you any answers your looking for. This Wright seems like it will be a great 2 in 1 mower as the whole bagging system will come on and off easily in about 5 minutes.

@@michaelferris6370 Yes exactly. I am a stander guy myself, and was dreading buying a Lazer mainly to bag. I'll have to demo one once they can get them in. I use granz turf depot in Salem NH

@@evank7444 yeah also especially how expensive the new Exmark lazers are! You might fall over when you hear the price lol. I use turf depot in Londonderry NH. I hear the one in Salem is very big.

[@GwinnettLawns]

How does it do with really overgrown wet spring/summer grass? Wonder if the system will still push it though to the bags.

[@michaelferris6370]

Does awesome, (obviously will need to slow your speed some, like you would with any mower.) We mowed and bagged with it quite a few times this year while it was raining out and stuffs the bags right up full. When we’re mowing wet grass or if it’s raining out, we clean out any sort of build up in the vacs every time we dump the bags to keep things open and flowing properly.

[@heresmytake2782]

dang that beefy Auxiliary belt is a deal maker. VERY NICE those tiny half inch belts snap like Twizzlers

[@michaelferris6370]

Absolutely I fully agree

[@challe_challe3622]

Nice video, i just wondoring if you know why my bobcat 341d gives randomaly full hydraulic flow. It also do it when you press the right button under neath the right joystick. Would help a lot if you know.

[@michaelferris6370]

Hi, I am not really sure what your trying to ask? Are you running your thumb? The hydraulic fluid should be giving full flow out of the pump at all times. Are you able to explain a little more? Thank you

[@challe_challe3622]

@@michaelferris6370 Instead of a thumb we have a tiltrotator that can tilt and rotate. It gives full flow that we thinks is for a hydraulic hammer. Can you like remove that function somehow. We have checked the manual but it didn’t give anything

[@michaelferris6370]

@@challe_challe3622 is your machine revved up all the way? The hydraulic pump is hooked right up to the motor like a transmission on a car. So if you don’t have it revved up all the way you will not get full hydraulic function. Everything is mechanical on those older 341’s my throttle is right next to the blade function by the control panel. Check all your throttle linkage to make sure everything is tight. Over time it is possible it could have loosened up.

[@gmoorehead70]

How far away does the bagger and the mounting bracket protrude from the standing platform? Can I fit it on a 5 x 10 trailer with enough space in the front for debris?

[@michaelferris6370]

The whole unit is about 8.5 feet long if I’m not mistaken. I measured it in the spring. I will re measure it again to confirm it. But you will definitely need a wider trailer then 5 feet that’s for sure.

[@gravelyclipper1179]

My friend has the exact same zk with the new bagging system. Cuts and bags great but the is leaving a small trail of grass my the vac housing. Long grass or short leaves the trail. Are you having any issues like that with yours? Thinking it might be the baffling

[@michaelferris6370]

I do notice a small trail of grass left behind if it’s really tall and wet and going fast. But if you slow it down and let it all the grass get sucked into the vac it doesn’t leave anything behind. I’m very impressed with the system and am thrilled it’s a stand on mower with a triple bagging system and can pop the blower off quickly and not have to bag.

[@aaronhobart6223]

How does it do with leaves I’m getting one tomorrow

[@michaelferris6370]

They do good with leaves, the bags just fill up fast. We always blow off the yards with backpack blowers or our hurricane before we mow.

[@aaronhobart6223]

@@michaelferris6370 hose kept clogging but maybe because it was wet lucky I got a good price on it but that is not worth 3k . But I will say when I mowed my grass with it picking up the clippings my yard look great..

[@michaelferris6370]

@@aaronhobart6223 yeah as I said any mower is not good with picking up leaves they are meant to bag grass. Leaves fill and clog the bags to quickly. We never try to pick up a bunch of leaves with our mowers.

We are still currently working on our leaf season. Doing very good, though we usually blow all of our property’s off with our hurricane blower before we mow the grass.

@@benruzicka2100 I’m still not positive if Wright has released there mounting brackets yet. I still have the custom made bracket on that mower. It’s been a huge time saver this year.

Does that fit on the 72" zk?

[@michaelferris6370]

Yes it will!! Loving this set up so far.

[@votered1552]

Worst cutting mower i ever owned Got rid of it after 2 months. Will never buy one again

[@michaelferris6370]

What didn’t you like about it? I think they cut very nicely. They leave a great looking stripe as well. In my opinion.
