Ferris® Introduces 500S Series of Commercial Zero Turn Mowers
MILWAUKEE, WI (October 20, 2021) – The 500S Zero Turn Mower is Ferris Mowers’ latest addition to a robust line of zero turns and other lawn care equipment.
The Ferris 500S is designed to fill a need for those looking for a feature-packed zero turn that not only delivers the efficiency and performance that Ferris is famous for but does so at a great value.
“Productivity is the name of the game for commercial landscapers, and every Ferris unit is built with that in mind, including the new 500S,” said Kody Van Sistine, Ferris brand manager. “The patented Ferris suspension, the Briggs & Stratton Commercial Series engine, and even the extras like the LED headlight and premium mid-back seat all contribute to productivity.”
The 500S comes equipped with the Ferris exclusive pivoting front axle and coil-over shocks on each wheel so that uneven terrain is no problem for the operator or the unit, which can reach ground speeds of up to eight miles per hour without sacrificing the cut quality. The unit will be available in 48, 52, and 61-inch mowing deck configurations with Briggs & Stratton Commercial Series or Kawasaki® engines.
Other features of the 500S include:
- A fabricated 10-gauge steel mowing deck for reliable cutting performance in a variety of conditions.
- Dual commercial transaxles with 7” cooling fans to repel debris and provide consistent power.
- 22-inch rear-drive tires and large front casters ensure dependable traction in various conditions.
- A foot-operated deck lift that quickly changes cut height in 1⁄4 inch increments with an adjustable pedal.
- The 500S zero turn mower starts at $5,799.00 and will be available through the Ferris dealer network starting this fall, with a full release in spring 2022.
