Greetings from Ohio
Traded in a 30+ year old JD 318 (18Hp/54 deck - Hydro) still going strong, for a Ferris IS3100Z (36Hp/61 deck), my first zero-turn.
Noticed several issues that I could use some advice on. First most? since you do not have any
support like a steering wheel to hold on to, I have noticed that my back will start to hurt. Anyone else
dealing with this have any recommendations? I am cutting pastures, so I already go slow over the holes and such. Some areas however do get VERY wet. Second, I have noticed that if not running the engine above mid throttle while cutting average height grass the engine will seem to slow down. It will not recover much even if you slow your travel, forcing you to increase the throttle and resume cutting. My John Deere lawn tractor did not have this characteristic and took on whatever task at any RPM within reason. The manual says to run the "new" B&S engine a full throttle but not doing so on the old John Deere has served me very well. Third, any Idea of the Mfg. of the transmission oil filter p/n: 5021357 (not a cross reference please).
