Lessons Learned

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

I’m glad you cringe at proper mowing techniques I would love to see your technique on heavily over grown and wet weedy grass or just regular maintained lawns. Email your videos love to see them.

[@steventaylor170]

@@PlemonsLawnCare dude you have a 30hp (or more) vanguard that is more then capable to use the entire length of the deck each pass without bogging down. The only reason it bogged is cause you kept blowing grass inward into a a pile.. then you laugh at Ferris.. when ferris z3x is the best mower to ever touch the market. I am frustrated cause people who dont know anything about mowers are receiving an inaccurate image of the mower cause you blew 6 lines on top of each other. You dont know who youre talking to.

[@steventaylor170]

also your deck is so low that your blades are mowing dirt

[@steventaylor170]

If you keep intentionally stalling your mower like that your engine will be busted in a summer

[@steventaylor170]

The only was ive ever learned how to advance my mowing is to admit that i am not the best, and more importantly I know i can be better at the little touches that make the BIGGEST difference. I apologize. I know certain situations call for certain strategies.

Nice!

Hi mate here in Britain and Ireland feris has rear discharge decks for stuff that tall be worth having 1 of them decks

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

I would love to have one here. Crazy that they aren’t available though.

[@noelcahill6707]

@@PlemonsLawnCare it's mostly what there available with here in the UK from 48 inch deck you should look up feris UK you'll see the decks it mite be worth importing 1 to you have all you need is the deck that would not be a lot to import

You were working that mower!😁

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

You got that right! It was brutal brother

[@horninght]

@@PlemonsLawnCare My 61 in V-ride 2 with the 29 hp EFI Kohler does a pretty good job. I would love to have the Big Kohler engine on a 61 in V-ride 2 and put it to the test. Up here in my part of southeast Mi around Ann arbor business is as good if not better than last year. 😁

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

Nice. Id like to see how it cuts without the turbo baffle on in thick stuff. Should make it a bit easier on the motor. Im going to try mine of once I get my muffler fixed....

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

That was without the turbo baffle brother. That stuff was thick

[@SouthernStyleLawnCare]

@@PlemonsLawnCare nice. You like it better out l? Havent tried it on my ferris yet

[@anthonyrowberry3154]

That was super long grass great job.

[@g4outdoors]

That grass looked fun! I don't think I have EVER choked out a commercial mower. The truck should clean up nice! I can't wait to see a big ol Plemons sticker on there! 10 crappie today!!!

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

Nice bag brother. Yea deciding on weather to wrap or just decal

[@RedRockMaintenance]

That mower cut that really well. Did sound like it bogged down much.

[@emmanuelsilva3541]

Great channel, new subscriber. Wow! Clover when wet will stress an engine. Clog a deck superhigh. LOVE this channel! No drama but honest truth making a living. I appreciate the time it takes too video and edit. Retired acute RN. East Tenn.

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

Thanks brother for dropping in. Yea old wet clover is nasty and so sticky too

[@unityroad]

Mowing that long grass reminded me when my brother and I were very young 13,16 years old. We always seemed to be those boys who cut anything, people would hire us to do what you showed us today. Then my brother being able to drive us around would always take our parents after the days work and show them what we did, and Dad would always get us all ice cream. Great times those were, thanks for sharing. Van looks good btw.

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

Thanks brother. Wish I had gotten some ice cream after that mess lol

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

Hahaha little boss

[@muchogracious1557]

Man that's got to hard on belts, clutches, blades and even crank bearings and seals. U needed a Billy Goat brush mower! I think I would have at least rented one and just charged accordingly for that first cut.

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

No doubt rough on it brother. We got it done and want have to worry about that again. It gets cut weekly now

[@muchogracious1557]

@@PlemonsLawnCare 👍. I once broke a camshaft in a tiller one time by putting it in too much of a bind like that so be careful! Lol

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

I don’t mow stuff like this very often being a weekly year round only company but figured haven’t done one in years let’s see what this things got lol

[@masonaroundthehouse5230]

I look forward to see more boxtruck videos!!😀

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

Should have more soon

Vanguard power

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

She chewed through most of it without a hiccup some of it still bogged her down

[@drivenlawncare3229]

@@PlemonsLawnCare i have killed mine before that vanguard is a beast it doesn't use a drop of oil a runs like a champ i can't say that about the kohler i had last year.

[@martinmelendez5450]

Thought that 37hp was enough to handle that! Great videos bro

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

Thanks brother. Yea its really wet and thick not much will handle it I dont think. Video really doesnt do it justice probably one of the most overgrown lawns ive ever done

[@martinmelendez5450]

@@PlemonsLawnCare that ferris did work brother clean on a single pass. I had to go over that like 12 times on my exmark😂 but I've seen you around Dalton would like to stop by and meet you in person. As always great videos bro

[@ThatsRightLawnCare]

What in scalpnation??? Did you just bog a 37 Vanguard??? I didnt think it was possible. Better upgrade to the 40 Vanguard!! 🤣😂

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

😂😂 no doubt brother. Ferris is sending the 40hp this month so we will see if it’s that big of a difference probably should have used a bush hog 😂🤣😂

[@ThatsRightLawnCare]

Nice. Great video! I like the box truck

[@steventaylor170]

Do you still have this Z3X?

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

I have 3

[@jasonboyce424]

Great video today always enjoy watching your video have a great weekend great looking truck.

[@badbob2023]

Can’t wait to see it lettered up 👍

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

Me too brother

[@allamerican7830]

Why you mow throwing the grass back on itself only make yourself double cut it and slow you down? I mow tall grass like this counter clockwise

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

There is a highway on one side and a fence on the other you don’t much of a choice in that section unfortunately

[@joshslawnlandscape9935]

"You know where you are?!?!...You're in the Jungle Baby!"🤣🤣🤣. Man, that kinda stuff almost needs to be bush hogged then mowed...lol. The Ferris putting it down though, nice work brother!

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

That was some crazy cutting bro. 👊💪

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

Yea craziest I’ve had to do

[@CandBLawnCare]

Watching you reminded me of when I have to snow blow 16 inches of snow. You can only take a third of the blower at a time and you gotta go slow. Great job and that Ferris is a beast.

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

It’s stout. Had a couple of tough areas but for the most part did well

[@cdb122980]

When i mow stuff like that i dont lower the deck at all.

[@natureschoicelandscaping5645]

Pretty impressed with the Ferris and vanguard combo. Love the videos about getting the truck ready.

[@grassman8684]

Is your mower equiped with efi? If so does it get slower about starting sometime?

[@happysfamilywnc]

Oh man that Ferris took a beating but that beast certainly got the job done. 👊

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

Yes sir it was brutal

[@Fencearmor]

Nicely done, Richey! It is like we are out there with you!

[@JWNLawnCare]

Nice work mate. Interesting that the machine stalled out there though, we go through stuff like that and longer on a regular basis with my JD front mount and no issues at all. Does help that my deck is rear discharge I guess, means the grass is processed a lot quicker hence less bogging down. Can't wait to see the box truck all lettered up too :D

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

It was really wet and not been cut since last year really needed a bush hog honestly

[@JWNLawnCare]

@@PlemonsLawnCare Yeah wet grass is a bugger to cut, but again another sweet spot for rear discharge machines. Very little mess left on roads, buildings, paths etc. and keeps the deck a bit cleaner because it doesn't spend as much time under there. They aren't the greatest for manicured properties though so it's a compromise I guess. Only reason I have mine is because I was able to buy it used at a stupidly cheap price. Buy the same machine as mine new here and $35k disappears out of your pocket :(

[@steventaylor170]

The reason it bogs down is cause your blades are eating into the fkn dirt

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

You an idiot I’m mowing on the highest setting only dirt would be fire ant hills.

[@blacksmokematters4521]

Stall is from deck clogging

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

Yea just not enough room under there for that much grass

[@steventaylor170]

Also why are you shooting grass inwards into 1 giant pile and then wonder why you stall

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

I’m mowing back and forth not pushing it all to the inside into one pile, mowing two passes away from fence and vehicles.

[@steventaylor170]

@@PlemonsLawnCare The 1 huge advantage of the stand ons is you reverse that second line, then the third line drop your quick shoot if you need

[@steventaylor170]

@@PlemonsLawnCare Theres no one who is so into lawn more then me and Ferris Z3X is my baby. I agree I shouldnt have came on so harshly. I did so to make a point cause i didnt think you would reply so I respect that

@@steventaylor170 it’s all good brother. Just remember I promise you aren’t the only Ferris fan. I own 6 of them and have worked with them personally to improve there machines

[@lestapp7845]

You May want to consider replacing the one or two damaged panels on the box truck. Easy repair and would be a permanent repair. Good luck with your new project. BTW great looking trail boss.

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

Thanks brother yea I’ll probably replace them

[@thebrightshift201]

Really seemed like that machine struggle the whole time. I’m from south TX and we cut grass like that very often. But they don’t cut that bad. I’m disappointed in the Ferris with such a big engine.

[@johnh5913]

Deck set way too low!!! With all the scap marks in the lawn, didn't the light bulb go off??

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

😂 yea the lights never came on. LOL I know it was too low. It was intentional. I want to know the limits of my equipment. Glad to see this video is still watched years later.

[@alanmccormack1724]

When in doubt...bog her out!!! Lol I did a couple like that last season but not as bad. They seem never ending while your there lol

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

Man Alan it seemed like an eternity. Took us 3 hours to do everything probably only take a hour from here on out

[@markbrisec3972]

I can't believe that Ferris was bogging down when cutting grass. You even went with a half of the deck and it still bogged down.. This can't be right. That mower is capable of pushing through much worse than those 10" of wet grass...

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

It happened only so much room under a mower deck. They all bog in wet grass like this. It preformed great for the conditions honestly.

[@MinnesotaLawnandLandscape]

Wow. That looks like a mess. Super tall

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

It’s was really bad

[@rumplestiltskin4113]

Well ferris did it, I have to say u were the first I saw stall a ferris 4x.. (I think it was 4)...

🙋🏼‍♂️agree

Raise your deck cut it twice want bog down

Oh yea they got charged for all the extra cutting

[@JsCrazyCutzLLC]

Don't think any other engine would have handled that nasty stuff like that 😉👍

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

I don’t either I was shocked it stalled in a couple of spots and not in others

[@CNKCLAN2]

I just bought a 997R Deere with a 72in deck. 37.4hp Yanmar diesel and shaft driven pto. Holy smokes that thing will cut. I haven't ran the Vanguard but from seeing videos, the Yanmar blows it away. I know it's not a fair comparison though. It makes my stand ons with Kawasaki engines feel like toys.

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

Zachary Porowski no doubt the shaft driven decks don’t lose any power with gears they are great for this kinda cutting

[@HandyGuy2016]

You know it's bad when you kill the 37 HP Vanguard, that's hard to do!
