Ferris 1500z Zero Turn Mower

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Surprisingly, Ferris Industries actually started out in the milking machine business back in the early 1900's.  In 1986 the president of the company saw that the market for dairy equipment was declining and saw a need for a good quality commercial lawn mower.  Ferris designed and built a Zero Turn Mower and took it to trade show in New York and they were an instant hit.  They claimed to have made a better quality, longer lasting mower than what was available on the market at that time.  Using some of the hydrostatic technology from they're dairy equipment manufacturing, they were able to transition into make mowers, first with a no-belt walk behind zero turn mower.  It was a hit!  After their successful transition into making zero turn mowers, Ferris Industries was purchased by another large competitor, Simplicity in 1999.

This small and mighty Ferris Zero Turn Mower from just might surprise you.  Ferris claims that this mower can cut 4.3 acres in one hour and has a ground speed of 10mph.  In the landscaping industry, not only is it important to do a good job, but it's also important to get the job done quickly and then move on.  The Ferris 1500z comes with a Kawasaki V-Twin engine in either 19, 21 or 25hp with deck sizes of 44, 48 or 52 inches.  With a revolutionary independent suspension system, the 1500z will provide a better cut than most other fixed frame zero turn riding mowers all while maintaining a faster speed.
