I have the 2021 Simplicity Courier XT model, which is a clone of the Ferris 800. Excellent unit. Worthy of a look. Another thought you could search the internet and have one shipped to you for a couple hundred.

Is there a Simplicity or Ferris dealer near you?

The rattle is likely metal rubbing metal or a belt that may not be tracking properly due to assembly issues. It will probably not be a serious issue but it could be the beginning of something that will become a bigger problem later. If the dealer is aware of the problem, he should be able to...

The big box store ZT's are not as horrible as some posts claim, if you use them as intended. For 1-acre mowing you are going to be using it for 1-1.5 hrs each mow. I you do what maintenance is recommended they will perform for you for quite awhile. I would avoid the new battery powered units...

Part of the mystery in choosing a new ZTR is because there are not a lot of differences you can spot at first glance. They all have a motor, a deck, and a drive system. Sitting on one is not all that much different from another, if you are comparing entry level models to entry level models and...

I double checked the Briggs part number ( my paperwork was wrong). the motor tag is 44T9770005G1. I took a look at the DC regulator and spotted 2-yellow and 1-Red wire. Guessing it's a 16 amp system ( base on your attachment) . What would happen if I hooked it to a 17 amp pump...

I need to replace the pump on my Fimco 25 gallon tow sprayer. I currently have a 3 GPM pump that pulls about 10 amps. I am wondering if I can use a 5 gpm pump but the amps use is 17 amps. I have a 2021 simplicity ZT with a Briggs 25HP commercial/turf motor 44n777-0005-G1. Will the...

2-good choices to pick from and there are others out there as well. I have owned several Simplicities and John Deers. I think Simplicity offers a better deck overall. Depending on the model mower, I think a Simplicity deck is easier to level, easier to remove and reinstall. They also provide...
