New Ferris zero turn ride-on mowers designed to deliver superior value
Commercial lawnmower specialist Ferris has extended its range with three new commercial zero-turn mowers, and all the new models feature a new unique steering
system designed to deliver long-lasting, smooth control and longevity.
“All our new models offer outstanding features and performance at a very attractive price,” says Robert Mellor, Commercial Category Manager for Australia
and New Zealand.
“Built from the ground up to be the hardest working and smoothest riding Commercial ZTR’s available, these mowers have been developed by our engineering
team with the operators’ needs in mind.”
The three new models include:
- Ferris IS® 600Z
- Ferris IS® 700Z
- Ferris F50XT 44”
“We’ve packed the IS600Z and IS700Z full of features to offer outstanding value,” Mellor says.
“Plus we’ve expanded the range with the more compact F50XT, which provides quality features you would find in a more expensive model, while still offering
a the new 2+2 year limited warranty.”

to provide improved performance and less down time. The IS 600Z is also capable of tackling tight places, providing maximum maneuverability and productivity.
Available in 44” and 48” cutting widths, the 600Z features a foot-operated deck lift, which provides the operator with variable cutting heights from 1.5”
to 4.5”. The mowing deck is made from 10-gauge steel, featuring over-lap welded corners, double thick top and reinforced side skirts.

commercial grade Hydro-Gear ZT-3400 transaxles for improved performance, longevity and less downtime. In addition, the mowing deck is made from 10-gauge
steel, featuring over-lap welded corners, double thick top and reinforced side skirts.

Key features of Ferris ride-on mowers:
Productivity
The patented suspension system results in increased productivity and reduced shock load. Many users don’t realise they slow down due to discomfort
to compensate for uneven terrain — until they test-drive a Ferris with suspension. Isolated from these effects, the operator maintains consistent
speed, taking full advantage of available horsepower. The result is more acres per hour and more money in your pocket.
Consistency of cut
The mower deck follows the movement of the wheels and the flow of the terrain. The result is a beautiful, consistent cut and increased mowing efficiency.
iCD™ cutting system
Ferris mowers offer the innovative iCD™ Cutting System which provides better airflow, discharge and superior cut quality.
Steering system
The new models feature a new unique steering system with solid rods and sealed ball bearings pivots to deliver long lasting smooth control.
2+2 year limited warranty
As an added bonus, new customers are covered with one simple warranty on all Ferris® ride-on mowers – the 2+2 year limited warranty. The new warranty
relates to all zero-turn models that begin with serial number 2015362300 and up. Ferris ride-on mowers are covered for two years (24 months) for commercial
users. The warranty is extended for a further two years (48 months) or 500 hours (whichever occurs first) for non-commercial owners. Belts, tyres,
brake pads, hoses and battery and blades are covered for 90 days.
