Full Product Description
The Ferris 500S 48″ Zero Turn Mower is designed for users who want more power, durability and comfort than entry-level zero turn mowers. It sits above the 400S in the Ferris range and delivers a stronger commercial feel while still maintaining compact manoeuvrability.
At the heart of the machine is a 25HP Briggs & Stratton Commercial Series V-Twin engine. This engine is purpose-built for zero turn mowing applications and delivers reliable performance for demanding daily use.
The mower features a 48-inch TRIPLE deck system, offering exceptional versatility. Users can switch between side discharge, rear discharge, mulching, or a mulching/rear discharge combination. This allows the operator to adapt quickly to changing grass conditions and customer requirements.
The Hydro-Gear ZT-3100 transmission ensures smooth and responsive control, while also providing the durability required for commercial workloads. In addition, the Ferris patented suspension system with rear coil-over shocks and a pivoting front axle dramatically improves operator comfort and traction on uneven terrain.
This combination of power, comfort and versatility makes the Ferris 500S an excellent choice for contractors, local authorities, estates, hotels and sports facilities across Ireland.
