Do you ever get off your riding mower at the end of the day and feel like you should drive directly to the chiropractor?
Or a masseuse?
If you operate a fixed-frame mower for a landscape company or a commercial service, or even use one for two to three hours on your own property, you know the beating your body takes. Especially, what the pounding those hours on the mower do to your lower back.
There is a better way, if you didn’t already know. Ferris Mowers has a developed a suspension system for their zero turn mowers and the benefits are astounding. Not only are these mowers a big help to an operator’s back, but they vastly increase efficiency and productivity.
What that means for a company owner is your operators have to spend less time on a single job and are healthier overall, boosting your bottom line. If you own acres, the benefit is less time on your mower and less pain in your back.
With these Ferris suspension systems, you don’t have to slow down, meaning operators get jobs done quicker. And the suspension system means less wear and tear on the mower and yourself.
How does it work?
Ferris’ suspension system allows wheels to move independently over the terrain. The deck itself works with the suspension system for consistent mowing, according to the Ferris website. This also eliminates “shock to the chassis, resulting in superior operator comfort, increased mowing speeds, stability and extended mower life.”
To see exactly how this suspension system works, take a look at this video by Ferris Mowers.
All the benefits
These Ferris suspension systems on zero turn mowers result in some big benefits that are quite noticeable once operators try them out. They include:
COMFORT: The most noticeable thing to operators is the overall comfort these systems provide as they absorb all the vibrations and shocks that they endure. Again, the result is a more productive and healthy operator, which can also result in less down time or time off for commercial businesses.
MORE EFFICIENT: Do you realize how often you slow down for obstacles and bad terrain? Suspension systems eliminated that and allow operators to enjoy the full horsepower during the entire job, meaning less time on it. This amps up productivity on a daily and monthly basis, directly affecting the bottom-line.
CONSISTENCY: Because the deck of the mower yields to the terrain, the cut is much more consistent as it flows with the lawn. This means the look of the cut is never uneven.
LONGEVITY: As earlier stated, these suspension systems reduce shock. Ferris frames are made of heavier materials also to ensure the wheels stay on the ground at all times. This results in less repairs and replacements.
Whether you own a landscaping company, mow for a city or town, or just want something better for the acres you cut, a suspension system on a zero turn mower offers a variety of benefits. The overall impact is a major increase in comfort, efficiency and productivity.
