Description

Overview
The Ferris 500S is a high-performance zero-turn mower engineered for homeowners and landscape professionals who demand a perfect blend of speed, durability, and a smooth ride. At the heart of the 500S is Ferris’s patented suspension system, featuring adjustable coil-over shocks that allow the wheels to follow the contours of the lawn independently. This unique design doesn’t just provide a smoother ride for the operator; it keeps the mower deck stable, resulting in a more consistent, professional-quality cut at higher ground speeds—even on bumpy or uneven terrain.
Built on a rugged, heavy-duty frame, the 500S features a 10-gauge fabricated steel deck designed to withstand the rigors of frequent use. Whether you are managing a large residential property or a small commercial account, the high-torque engine options and commercial-grade Hydro-Gear® ZT-3100® transaxles provide the power and reliability needed for long-term productivity. With its ergonomic cockpit and intuitive controls, the Ferris 500S transforms a chore into a high-speed, comfortable experience.
