The team behind the
distribution of Ferris mowers in the UK are celebrating a double victory, with
awards presented at either end of the country this month.
Not only are they
honoured to have been awarded a Certificate of Commendation for the Ferris
ISX™800 mower at the Royal Highland Show Technical Innovations Awards, but also
a ‘Commended’ award for the Ferris 400S through dealer Andrew Symons Ltd. at
the Royal Cornwall Show.
2019 see’s the first
time that the team behind Ferris mowers in the UK, T H WHITE Machinery Imports,
held a stand at the prestigious Royal Highland Show and with the launch of the
new Ferris ISX™800 at the end of 2018, the team felt it fitting to enter the
model into the Technical Innovations Awards.
Members of the team
were delighted to collect the certificate at the official awards ceremony, held
at Ingliston House on Saturday 22nd
June.
Innovative features of
the ISX™800 include the all new ForeFront double-wishbone Suspension System –
a first in professional mowing.
Whilst Ferris is
already recognised for being the only commercial mower manufacturer with
patented suspension, the new ForeFront system moves even further ahead of the
game with industry leading comfort, safety and cut quality on a compact,
manoeuvrable zero-turn mower.
This next generation
suspension system incorporates four control rods, keeping the front caster
bearing vertical through the full range of travel and enabling the mower deck
to accurately follow the movement of the front wheels for a smoother ride and
precision cut.
The ISX™800 also
features a new double belt drive system which reduced the chance of a belt
dislodging or rolling from the pulley, ensuring increased reliability and
extended belt life.
The Ferris 400S was
recognised on the stand of groundcare machinery dealer Andrew Symons at the
Royal Cornwall Show as part of the annual Machinery Competition, with
exceptional representation to the deciding committee from the Andrew Symons
Ltd. team and in particular Groundcare Sales Representative, Lee Hatter.
“Ferris mowers are
recognised in the industry as innovative, high quality products,” observes Bill
Johnston, Head of the UK Ferris distributor, Machinery Imports.
“With a Ferris you get
what you pay for; huge productivity, excellent build quality, comfort, safety,
machine longevity and so much more.
“We’re delighted that
the innovation and quality of the Ferris ISX™800 and 400S models has been
recognised by the highly experienced and knowledgeable teams at RHASS and Royal
Cornwall Show.”
