    IS2600Z Starting problems

    This is my last post on this subject. I called the dealer again. He's had my cutter for over a month. I told him I was coming to pick it up this afternoon. Then he told me that Ferris had not paid him for the his work and was not going to give me my tractor back until someone paid him. When...

    IS2600Z Starting problems

    It's been almost a month now since I took my Ferris in for a warranty repair. I called the dealer again yesterday and he surprised me by saying that the Cutter was finished and he was just waiting for Ferris to approve or his work. In other words, my cutter is being held until he gets his...

    IS2600Z Starting problems

    Just got an update from the dealer on my machine. It seems that the dealer (Ferris) isn't that familiar with my cutter. They had to call Ferris for technical help. They think it is the key switch. Of course, they don't have one in stock an have to wait until Ferris sends them out. I asked...

    IS2600Z Starting problems

    The diagram that I found shows a starter relay. But I couldn't find it. That in turn engages the starter solenoid. I found at least 3 relays. two of them have no markings on them for spade connections You have to go by the color of wires going into the relay. Assuming the colors are...

    Ferris 500s or Bad Boy Maverick, which is best for my farm?

    I have a SCAG mower with Kawasaki 23 hp engine. I've had it for over 30 years now and still going. Personally I don't like Briggs. Kohler seems to be a good engine (I had a 20hp) but either it's running great or the engine is bad. I've had great experiences with the Kawasaki engines. Know...

    IS2600Z Starting problems

    Thanks Rivets Unit is 5901929 Serial 4002184515 I see that my dealer where I purchased , never gave me the parts book. I got it on line from Farris. Funny , that's where the schematic is found. I wonder if the book that I was suppose to get would have been accurate. It would have been nice to...

    IS2600Z Starting problems

    I've had a lot of training and experience with electricity, but if you can't find test points or a way to get at a connection, trouble shooting is almost impossible. That is what happen here with harnesses and wires you can't get at. It doesn't help when the manufacture gives you a diagram for...

    IS2600Z Starting problems

    Yesterday I was going to start up my cutter. Turned the key and every thing went dead. No lights, nothing. I thought that a fuse went for what ever reason. Checked all fuses. Wasn't the problem. I open up the control panel to look inside. For the heck of it, I pulled the connector to the...

    Diesel vs Gas

    You said "that's what I'm using"?? Red or Clear. OUr red diesel is around 3.65 / gallon other wire$4.10 or more for the clear. That lift was worth every penny. Years ago I purchased for my cars. Change Oil save money get rich. Now I don't like crawling under it. But, when I use it, I use...

    Diesel vs Gas

    I purchase the Clear/yellow diesel fuel now. But, I just found a source for red diesel (off road reduced tax) diesel and I am thinking about using it now. The cost is a hell of lot cheaper without the tax. I've read that except for the color ,there is no difference. What are you burning now...

    Diesel vs Gas

    I bought a new IS2600Z last year and I'm running it for the first time now. I had a turf tirger (still have) . Scags dealer wouldn't budge on pricing. So, I went to Ferris Dealer and got a great deal on the Diesel. I think it's going to be harder to do maintenance on the Ferris but for the...
