For those looking to step up to commercial-grade mowing without the bulk of larger machines, the Ferris 500S zero turn mower delivers the perfect balance of power, comfort and manoeuvrability. Built for productivity and designed to handle tight spaces with ease, this compact machine punches well above its weight.
Compact Design, Commercial Capability
Don’t let its size fool you—the Ferris 500S is built to perform. Designed on a compact frame, it’s ideal for navigating restricted areas such as gated properties, landscaped spaces and complex sites where larger machines struggle.
Despite its smaller footprint, the 500S delivers true commercial capability. With a powerful 25hp Briggs & Stratton engine and a heavy-duty Hydro-Gear® drive system, it has the strength and reliability to tackle demanding workloads day in, day out.
Zero-Turn Efficiency That Saves Time
When it comes to productivity, zero-turn technology makes all the difference. The 500S is built for maximum manoeuvrability, allowing operators to turn on the spot and cut around obstacles with precision.
This reduces the need for time-consuming repositioning and missed patches, helping you cover more ground in less time. With ground speeds of up to 13.6 km/h, the 500S is designed to keep jobs moving quickly and efficiently.
Comfort That Keeps You Working Longer
Long mowing days demand a machine that works with you, not against you. That’s where Ferris’ patented suspension system sets the 500S apart.
Featuring rear coil-over shocks and a pivoting front axle with dampening, the system absorbs bumps and uneven terrain, delivering a smoother, more controlled ride. The result is reduced operator fatigue, improved traction and the ability to maintain productivity over longer periods.
Versatility for Every Cutting Condition
The 500S is equipped with the innovative TRIPLE™ mower deck, giving operators unmatched flexibility in a single machine. With side discharge, rear discharge and mulching options—including a combined mulching/rear discharge setup—you can adapt instantly to changing conditions.
Whether tackling overgrown areas or maintaining a fine finish, the 500S ensures the right cut every time.
Built for Productivity and Control
Everything about the 500S is designed to maximise efficiency. Large drive tyres provide excellent traction, while intuitive controls and a comfortable operator setup make it easy to stay in control throughout the job.
From tight turns to open runs, the 500S delivers smooth, predictable handling that keeps performance consistent across a wide range of environments.
A Smart Step Into Commercial Mowing
For contractors, estates and demanding residential users, the Ferris 500S offers an ideal entry into commercial-grade mowing. It combines the agility of a compact machine with the performance and durability needed for professional results.
If you’re ready to move beyond standard ride-on mowers and unlock the benefits of zero-turn efficiency, the 500S is built to deliver.
