Confirm current figures with your Koenig salesperson — Ferris changes configurations between model years.
The difference you feel
Front and rear adjustable dual coil-over shocks
Rear suspension takes the worst of the ride out of the seat on rough or rolling ground.
Ferris was the first manufacturer to build suspension into a mower, and it is still the only reason to choose one over anything else on the lot. Over a ten-hour day it is the difference between a crew that is finished and a crew that is finished off.
Worth asking about
Ferris covers eligible suspension components for ten years.
Eligibility depends on the exact configuration. We confirm it before you buy, and we handle the claim if you ever need one.

Common questions
About the 500S Zero Turn Mower
What deck sizes does the 500S Zero Turn Mower come in?
Ferris lists the 500S Zero Turn Mower with a 48″ , 52″ , 61″ deck. Deck width is the constraint most people forget — measure your narrowest gate and your trailer before you choose. We will check it with you before you order.
What suspension does the 500S Zero Turn Mower use?
Front and rear adjustable dual coil-over shocks. Rear suspension takes the worst of the ride out of the seat on rough or rolling ground.
What engine is in the 500S Zero Turn Mower?
Ferris specifies Briggs & Stratton® CXi or Kawasaki® FR730V. We stock filters and service parts for these engines and our technicians are factory-trained on them.
Can I demo a 500S Zero Turn Mower before I buy?
Yes. That is the point of a Ferris — the difference is something you feel, not something you read. Tell us the property and we will bring one to it or have one ready at the store nearest you.
Where can I get the 500S Zero Turn Mower serviced?
At any Koenig store that carries Ferris, across western Ohio. Parts, warranty work and seasonal service all happen in the same building you bought it from.
Is the 500S Zero Turn Mower covered by the 10-year suspension warranty?
Ferris's 10-year suspension warranty applies to eligible suspended units and carries its own exclusions. We will confirm eligibility for the exact configuration you are looking at before you buy — and we administer the claim if you ever need it.
