All discharge options you will ever need! The TRIPLE mower deck hosts multiple mowing configurations in a single deck design that can be converted as required. With this “all-in-one” mower deck approach Ferris is addressing the changing needs of our customers.

Traditional mowing methods, regional preferences, climate differences as well as changing seasons and grass varieties; they all require different cutting and discharging methods. The TRIPLE mowing system eliminates stress of choice for the mower owner. No matter the circumstances, the best mower configuration is always at your disposal.

Side Discharge Configuration

Discharges clippings out of the side of the mower deck.

• Most traditional configuration.
• Only one trim side available.
• Good distribution of clippings.
• Requires plan to avoid mowing over clippings and discharging clippings on sidewalks and flowerbeds.

Rear Discharge Configuration

Discharges clippings out of the rear of the mower deck.

• Popular commercial configuration.
• Two available trim sides.
• Clippings distributed between rear wheels.
• Avoids discharging clippings on sidewalks and flowerbeds.

Mulching Configuration

• Popular European mowing method.
• Two available trim sides.
• Limited grass handling capacity.
• Frequent mowing required.
• Clippings distributed within path of mower.
• Avoids discharging clippings on sidewalks and flowerbeds.

Mulching / Rear Discharge Combi

• Most popular commercial mowing method.
• Two available trim sides.
• Improved grass handling capacity.
• Clippings distributed within path of mower.
• Avoids discharging clippings on sidewalks and flowerbeds.

The 2-belt deck drive system allows the use of fewer backside belt idler pulleys that, combined with a wider and smooth surfaced cast-iron backside belt tensioner pulley, creates a smoother-running tensioner system. The result is less belt stress and cooler-running belts. Deep grooved spindle drive pulleys combined with a belt tension pulley with steel guide arms result in a smoother engagement of the drive system. Belts are less likely to dislodge from the pulley, less likely to roll, and there is less stress on the belt cords.

These features translate into longer belt life, reduced maintenance, improved performance and less downtime. In addition to helping commercial landscapers improve their productivity by reducing downtime, this system offers a three-year, 300-hour limited warranty.

A. Belt guide

Steel guide arms help prevent belt from dislodging. Smooth surface cast-iron backside idler pulley features dust shield and is fully serviceable.

B. Deep grooved spindle drive pulleys

Deep grooves in the pulley provide smoother engagement that’s less likely for a belt to dislodge or roll from the pulley.

C. Heavy-duty custom Optibelt® V-belt

Engineered for superior resistance to stretching and premature wear with a profile that transmits more power than classical v-belt profiles.

3 Year limited belt warranty

2-belt decks come with a limited warranty† of three years (36 months) or 300 hours, whichever occurs first. The warranty covers parts & labor in year one and parts only in years two and three.

Our patented suspension technology reduces the effects of uneven terrain,virtually eliminating shock to the chassis, and your body. Many operators are not always aware that they slow down to compensate for rough terrain. So when protected from these effects using a Ferris suspended ride-on-mower, the operator is able to take full advantage of the power available from the machine to maintain a consistent mowing speed. And by allowing you to maintain speed while mowing, it increases your productivity by getting the job done faster. The suspension system itself is designed to absorb the bumps and vibrations that can cause operator fatigue. This lets you power through each day, knowing that we’ll keep you feeling good for tomorrow.

So how does it work?

The Ferris integrated suspension systems are engineered with carefully selected components that work together to provide you with a smooth ride on uneven turf. The cutting deck of the mower works in conjunction with the suspension system to provide a consistent quality of cut. A reactive deck mounting system lets the mower deck float from the suspension and raises and lowers the deck in harmony with the motion of the wheels. These systems minimize shock to the chassis, and you, resulting in superior comfort, stability, traction and increased mowing efficiency.

The innovative iCD™ Cutting System allows for better airflow discharge and superior cut quality. The slope nose of the deck forces the blades of grass forward and allows them a longer period of time to rise in the chamber before the blades make contact. The new iCD™ cutting system offers unparalleled cut quality and compliments the innovation of the Ferris line.

1. Reinforced leading edge provides protection where the deck needs it most.
2. Multi-layer heavy-gauge steel construction for maximum strength.
3. Debris shield on idler pulleys keeps moisture and debris away, extending bearing life.
4. Center point is offset, optimizing airflow for discharge.
5. Slope nose design allows grass to rise in the chamber before making contact with the blades, resulting in a better cut quality.
6. Deck step allows for easy entry and exit from the operator’s compartment.
7. Strong, 6 mm thick Marbain^® steel blades.
8. Removable rear baffle inserts*.
9. Ferris^® mulching blades fitted as standard on all RD and TRIPLE decks.

_{* A factory fitted half-height rear baffle insert and mulching blades combine rear discharge with mulching characteristics. An optional full-height rear baffle insert is used for full-featured mulching.}
