Ferris IS 5100Z Zero-Turn Mower Now BioDiesel Approved

The Ferris IS 5100Z powered by a 33.5-hp (model 3013C) Caterpillar diesel engine can now utilize B20 Biodiesel as an acceptable fuel source. The approval follows successful testing performed by Caterpillar. The results of those tests indicated trouble-free operation. The IS 5100Z features an environmentally-friendly sound package designed to absorb and reduce engine noise for improved operator and bystander comfort.

“This announcement is another example of Ferris’ commitment to innovation,” said Bill Shea, Vice President of Sales & Marketing Commercial Products for the Briggs & Stratton Yard Power Products Group. “Now we are able to offer our customers yet another alternative fuel option.”

The IS 5100Z series zero-turn mowers are the flag ship of the Ferris line. Featuring Ferris’ exclusive four-wheel patented suspension technology this system dramatically increases the quality of cut over fixed frame units. The patented technology also translates to higher mowing speeds, increased comfort, productivity and longer mower life. After a long day of mowing on a Ferris you won't feel the same discomfort that you would on a competitive brand mower. The IS 5100Z is available with 72- and 61-inch side and rear-discharge deck options.

Other features of the IS 5100Z include:
- Hercules™ cast-iron spindles
- iCD Cutting System™ on select models
- Adjustable 360-degree anti-scalp rollers
- Deluxe high-back seat with adjustable lumbar support
- Ergonomic control panel with cup-holder, cell phone pocket, 12-volt outlet and storage compartment
- Folding Roll Over Protection System with retractable seatbelt
