FERRIS AND SNAPPER PRO TOUT NEW GRASS COLLECTION SYSTEM AT GIE+EXPO 2011

Milwaukee, Wis., (October 27. 2011)—A new grass collection system for Ferris and Snapper Pro branded mowers is now available for commercial mower users who want to collect and dump grass, leaves and debris.

The EZ Dump XL™ collection system makes collecting and dumping grass, leaves and debris quick and easy.  The operator simply squeezes the handle and pulls up the hopper right from his or her seat.  

The system is built around a tough, high-volume side panel air induction system that reduces clogging and produces 27% more air volume than conventional collection systems.  The 14-cubic foot hopper is specially lined to assure that all material is dumped each time for increased productivity.  

            The EZ Dump XL is now available on the Ferris IS 3100Z and the Snapper Pro S200xt, S200xtp and S800x.  For more information, visit www.ferrisindustries.com and www.snapperpro.com.
