Innovative Ferris mowers scoop awards from Lands’ End to John O’Groats

The team behind the distribution of Ferris mowers in the UK are celebrating a double victory, with awards presented at either end of the country this month.

Not only are they honoured to have been awarded a Certificate of Commendation for the Ferris ISX™800 mower at the Royal Highland Show Technical Innovations Awards, but also a ‘Commended’ award for the Ferris 400S through dealer Andrew Symons Ltd. at the Royal Cornwall Show.

2019 see’s the first time that the team behind Ferris mowers in the UK, T H WHITE Machinery Imports, held a stand at the prestigious Royal Highland Show and with the launch of the new Ferris ISX™800 at the end of 2018, the team felt it fitting to enter the model into the Technical Innovations Awards.

Members of the team were delighted to collect the certificate at the official awards ceremony, held at Ingliston House on Saturday 22nd June.

Innovative features of the ISX™800 include the all new ForeFront double-wishbone Suspension System™ – a first in professional mowing.

Whilst Ferris is already recognised for being the only commercial mower manufacturer with patented suspension, the new ForeFront system moves even further ahead of the game with industry leading comfort, safety and cut quality on a compact, manoeuvrable zero-turn mower.

This next generation suspension system incorporates four control rods, keeping the front caster bearing vertical through the full range of travel and enabling the mower deck to accurately follow the movement of the front wheels for a smoother ride and precision cut.

The ISX™800 also features a new double belt drive system which reduced the chance of a belt dislodging or rolling from the pulley, ensuring increased reliability and extended belt life.

The Briggs & Stratton Commercial Series 27hp petrol engine provides the power, whilst the 52” iCD™ cutting deck and mowing speeds of up to 16km/h make operators productive and fast on the turf.

The Ferris 400S was recognised on the stand of groundcare machinery dealer Andrew Symons at the Royal Cornwall Show as part of the annual Machinery Competition, with exceptional representation to the deciding committee from the Andrew Symons Ltd. team and in particular Groundcare Sales Representative, Lee Hatter.

“Ferris mowers are recognised in the industry as innovative, high quality products,” observes Bill Johnston, Head of the UK Ferris distributor, Machinery Imports. “With a Ferris you get what you pay for; huge productivity, excellent build quality, comfort, safety, machine longevity and so much more.

“We’re delighted that the innovation and quality of the Ferris ISX™800 and 400S models has been recognised by the highly experienced and knowledgeable teams at RHASS and Royal Cornwall Show.”
