Starting with a Ferris patented suspension system featuring adjustable rear coil-over-shocks and front independent, adjustable coil-over-shocks, the IS 3200Z offers users a chance to increase their mowing productivity. The Ferris suspension system lets the operator maintain ground speed and take full advantage of available horsepower. Because it helps absorb shock and vibration to the unit and the operator, the suspension technology helps extend mower life and offers a more comfortable ride. Importantly, coil-over-shocks and all suspension-related components are covered for 4 years, unlimited hours. Powered by either a 36-gross-hp. Briggs & Stratton Vanguard Big Block or 37-gross-hp. Kawasaki FX1000V-DFI engine, the IS 3200Z touts engines choices that have been expertly engineered to delivery dependability and reliability. Both can be matched with either a 61-inch or 72-inch iCD Cutting System, a mowing deck designed to provide a superior cut in a multitude of conditions. Its baffle design and deep deck allow for better airflow, and an extra-wide opening allows for a greater, more even dispersal of clippings. Hercules II cast-iron, greaseable spindles are 10 inches in diameter and feature industrial double-row angular contact ball bearings and a 1-3/16- inch-diameter shaft. An updated deck mounting and leveling system with solid- steel hangers provides added reliability and easy deck adjustment. Dual commercial Hydro-Gear ZT-5400 powertrain transaxles with 9-inch cooling fans deliver unmatched power and durability. The IS 3200Z has a forward speed of 0-12 mph. Other features include 26-inch drive tires, an 11-gallon fuel tank, a premium high-back seat with armrests, a removable floor pan, and a folding ROPS. Visit www.ferrismowers.com for more information. New Ferris IS 3200Z zero-turn mowers employ latest mowing technology New Ferris and Snapper Pro commercial walk-behind mowers boast centralized controls For 2015, the Briggs & Stratton Power Products Group is rolling out the Ferris FW35CC and Snapper Pro SW35CC commercial walk-behind mowers built from the ground up to meet the demands of professional mowing crews. These dual-hydrostatic machines offer powerful engine options paired with 48-, 52- or 61-inch mowing decks and Centralized Control handlebars. "The new controls are ergonomically designed so that operators experience less fatigue," said Bill Shea, vice president of commercial sales for the Briggs & Stratton Power Products Group. "They provide improved hand positioning for maneuvering around trees, fences and other obstacles. They are also more efficient than traditional pistol-grip controls for operators using a sulky attachment." Engine options include a 26-gross-hp. Vanguard 810-cc or a 28-gross hp. Vanguard 810-cc EFI, a 20.5-gross-hp. Kawasaki FX651V or a 23.5- gross-hp. Kawasaki FX730V. Dual commercial Hydro-Gear ZT-3100 transaxles with 7-inch cooling fans are standard on all models. The 10-gauge-steel decks feature aluminum greaseable spindles. The drive belt system is designed to provide uniform belt tension, which improves belt life and reduces maintenance. A deck mounting system makes leveling the deck a simple process, and a quick-adjust handle allows the operator to change cutting heights, from 1.5 to 5 inches, in one easy step. Large 20-inch tires enable climbing over curbs and rough terrain along with reducing deck bounce for consistent cut. A 2-year limited warranty on the machine provides unlimited hours the first 24 months. Prices range from $5,599 to $6,899.
