MILWAUKEE, June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Briggs &
Stratton Corporation's Ferris brand is excited to introduce
two all-new models in the Ferris ISX3300 platform powered
exclusively by the Vanguard BIG BLOCK 40.0 Gross HP* EFI ETC
engine, the first in the lineup to feature Vanguard's all-new
electronic throttle control (ETC) technology. The ETC technology
reacts instantaneously to any applied load from its environment to
maintain power when the application demands. Equipping the premier
zero-turn mower in the Ferris line — which also features the
industry's most advanced independent suspension system, Forefront™
— with the most powerful engine in the Vanguard lineup creates the
ultimate mowing solution.
"The all-new ISX3300 models — equipped with Vanguard's most
powerful engine yet — allow the mower to harness and put to work
more of the power created by the engine," said Jennifer Walth, senior marketing manager –
Ferris. "This allows the mower to make quick work of long, dense,
wet grass for added productivity so our operators can go home
feeling good at the end of a long day."
The new ISX3300 models benefit from Vanguard's all-new ETC
technology. A flywheel speed sensor detects any change in speed and
sends a signal to the throttle body, ensuring consistent engine
speed and quality of cut, no matter the environment or load. Also
equipped with EFI, this engine has improved starting at all
temperatures, smooth performance at all elevations, quick load
acceptance and reduced fuel consumption.
"We're excited to offer Ferris customers another opportunity to
benefit from Vanguard's superior performance and durability by
powering the ISX3300 with our most intuitive engine yet," said
Chris Davison, senior marketing
manager, Vanguard commercial power, Briggs &
Stratton.
The Forefront Suspension System gives landscape professionals
the ability to mow at a higher speed while having more control over
the mower. This powersport-inspired front suspension geometry
eliminates caster chatter, ensuring the front casters remain in the
ideal orientation throughout the entire range of suspension travel
to improve the ride and quality of cut. Forefront utilizes four
solid control rods with hardened radial ends and dual-rate coil
springs that resist component motion and allow the operator to
select from five-position adjustments for conditions, preference
and attachments. The Ferris Forefront system also features shocks
with mower-specific internal valves, oil capacity and bump/rebound
setting for maximum ground contact while absorbing terrain.
Additional ISX3300 Platform Features
Engineered to
optimize comfort and productivity, the ISX3300 offers the following
customer-driven features:
- Angled rear bumper which protects the engine and
provides easy service access while achieving additional ground
clearance for moving over curbs and trailers.
- Ergonomic premium high-back suspension
seat which provides added comfort for a productive
and comfortable workday.
- Next generation foldable ROPS reduces noise for the
operator while the mower is in motion.
Available with either a 61- or 72-inch two-belt iCD™ cutting
system, the ISX3300 is outfitted with Hydro-Gear ZT 5400™
Powertrain® transaxles and Hercules™ spindles.
