Ferris’ ComfortControl™ Dual Drive commercial walk-behind mower, which promises to be the best-handling walk-behind in the industry, is now available in a 36” cutting width. It features Ferris’ exclusive Torque Tuned Blade™ system which enables the mower to be more compact and allows it to be more maneuverable and easy to use. Powered by a 15-hp Kawasaki V-twin engine, the ComfortControl Dual Drive has self-contained dual transmissions for improved performance and downtime.

 

            A Cruise Control Bar with independent steering override allows the operator a multitude of handling options. An electronic Sensor-Grip operator presence system detects the operator’s hands on the handlebars. This anti-fatigue safety system requires no additional pressure to operate the mower and it works by detecting moisture from the hands of the operator (with or without gloves on).

 

            The ComfortControl Dual Drive is also available in 48”, 52” or 61” cutting widths, a quick- adjust lever provides the operator with a variable cutting height from 1.75” to 4.75”. Mowing decks are made from 10-gauge steel, featuring over-lap welded corners, double top decks and double reinforced side skirts. Other features include a 6 mph ground speed, five gallon fuel tank, electric start and a two-year commercial warranty.
