I just replaced my old rigid frame Ferris 1000Z with a new Ferris 2200, 52 inch deck.
I like the mower I hate the Carlisle turf tires it came with. Traction is terrible, I leave skid marks just slowing down!
Because of the 52 inch deck they mount narrower tires than those on a 61. The factory tire is 24x9.5x12
I'm thinking about going to a more aggressive tread ATV tire in a 24x10x12 which is a more popular size.
I had chevron style tires on my old machine and had less turf damage than I'm getting with my present turf (friendly?) tires.
My biggest problem is sliding sideways on loose grass clippings/hard ground, and no it's not a steep slope 5-10 deg.
Does anyone have experience with ATV tires on ZT's? Do you have any recommendations?
Help me please before I slide into the pond!
