Ferris - Zero-Turn Mower

The latest addition to the fleet.



Zero-Turn Mower



We recently took delivery of a new Zero-Turn rough cutter, it was purchased primarily for mowing round trees, but because it's so manoeuvrable, we are now using it to mow many other areas on both courses. 
Without doubt the main advantage of this type of mower, is that, it can literally turn on a sixpence, unlike most other ride-on mowers, which only have a very limited turning circle.
Normally, we would have to make several passes to cut round trees or other obstacles, but with the zero turn you only require one pass, making it a extremely productive mower.
The unit is powered by a diesel engine, which was designed to meet the very strict Californian noise pollution laws, so for a three-cylinder 20hp diesel engine it is remarkably quiet.

I certainly feel the zero-turn mower; will help reduce the time taken to mow areas where access is restricted.
