Two year old Feriss ZTR with a two cylinder 30 HP Briggs commercial engine. Engine started popping and running rough about a week ago. So far I have replaced the gas with gas from a different source, replaced both spark plugs, confirmed spark to both plugs, and checked the air gap on the...

I am considering purchasing a Ferris 2000Z mower. I have the option of either the 30 HP Briggs Vanguard Big Block or the Kawasaki 26 HP V-Twin. Is either of these engines superior to the other? If so, why? Any advice or information will be much appreciated.

I built a pole barn last year on a lot that I plan on building a new home on in the spring. I want to install a short run of the gray PVC conduit underground from the barn toward the home site so I can landscape around the barn and not have to disturb it later. The electrical needs for the barn...

The patio doors we had put in 4 years ago when we built this house have been nothing but trouble. Any hard rain that hits these doors results in leakage. Long story short, the frames are now rotting out so we need to replace these doors. This poses several questions for those more knowledgable...

Does anyone know (for sure) if the zero percent finance deal on NH TC series tractors will carry over into September? Here I am at the end of yet another month and still undecided on which tractor to buy. If only there weren't so many danged good opinions on this site, maybe I could decide !!

Great website! I have been browsing around the past few months absorbing all I can on compact tractors. The old '53 Jubilee needs a rest. It has been difficult but my decision has come down to the TC35D. The main reason I'm looking at the 35 over the 33 is the wider stance (and of course the...
