Common questions

About the Rover XC™ FS1200 Ride-On Spreader

Does the Rover XC™ FS1200 Ride-On Spreader have suspension?
Ferris does not list a suspension system on this model. If ride comfort over a long day is what you are solving for, ask us about the suspended models — that is the whole reason the brand exists.
What engine is in the Rover XC™ FS1200 Ride-On Spreader?
Ferris specifies Vanguard® 160. We stock filters and service parts for these engines and our technicians are factory-trained on them.
Can I demo a Rover XC™ FS1200 Ride-On Spreader 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 Rover XC™ FS1200 Ride-On Spreader 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 Rover XC™ FS1200 Ride-On Spreader 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.
