Start with what you are paid to do

Ferris® builds two genuinely different kinds of machine, and the line between them is not price — it is whether the mower has to survive a route or a property. Everything else follows from that.

If you are paid to mow

Commercial

Hours are the currency. A commercial Ferris is built around suspension, deck strength and a service interval that keeps the machine on the trailer instead of on a lift.

Eight-hour days, five or six days a week
Deck width chosen against the route, not the driveway
Priority service scheduling in the cutting months

If you own the ground

Property

Acreage still punishes a light machine, but you are not amortising it over a route. The question becomes how much comfort and cut quality you want for the Saturday it takes.

Two to twenty acres of your own
Suspension because the ground is rough, not because the day is long
Parts on the shelf and a technician who knows the model

Not sure which side you are on?

Find the one that sounds like you

Commercial

Commercial crews

Several properties a day, every day, with the machine on a trailer between them.

Usually: A commercial zero-turn or stand-on, widest deck the gates allow
The deciding factor: Hours before fatigue and hours before service

What crews run

Property

Large properties

Your own acreage, cut by you, on ground that punishes a light machine.

Usually: Suspension zero-turn, 52 to 61 in
The deciding factor: Comfort and cut quality over a long Saturday

What owners run

Commercial

Municipal and schools

Sports fields, campuses and parks, mowed to a standard someone signs off on.

Usually: Commercial zero-turn plus a walk-behind for banks
The deciding factor: Finish quality and a documented service record

How we support fleets

Either

Equestrian and agricultural

Paddocks, verges and rough ground where the mower meets what the tractor leaves.

Usually: Suspension zero-turn, rear discharge where it fits
The deciding factor: How rough the ground gets in August

Machines for rough ground

Either

Tight and complex sites

Gates, fences, beds and slopes — access decides the machine before capacity does.

Usually: Stand-on or walk-behind
The deciding factor: The narrowest gate on the property

Stand-ons and walk-behinds

Commercial

Turf programs

Feeding and treating turf on a route, not just cutting it.

Usually: Spreader-sprayer alongside the mowers
The deciding factor: Route length and tank refills per day

Spreaders and sprayers

Six lanes. Tagged either way where the machine genuinely serves both.
