Milwaukee, WI, Oct. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ferris® Mowers’ new AeroMax™ High-Efficiency Blade delivers up to 20% more acres cut per gallon compared with industry-standard blades, giving landscape professionals the potential to reduce refueling time, lower fuel costs and keep crews productive longer.
“Professional landscapers are looking for ways to improve efficiency without sacrificing cut quality,” said Carissa Gingras, vice president of marketing, Turf & Consumer and Service at Briggs & Stratton. “We were inspired by the principles of aerodynamics and aviation in the creation of the AeroMax High-Efficiency Blade which delivers the clean, consistent cut customers expect from Ferris plus 20% more acres cut per gallon of fuel.”
The patent-pending AeroMax blade is designed to move air more efficiently by optimizing velocity and pressure distribution to reduce drag. Side-by-side quality-of-cut testing on a 32” deck demonstrated that the AeroMax blade preserves the premium Ferris iCD+™ clean cut, helping avoid the ragged, uneven turf tearing seen on competitor decks.
The new blade is currently available on the new Ferris Z1-P 32” stand-on mower and will soon be available on additional Z1-P deck sizes as well as the Z1-PX stand-on and forthcoming 600S and 700S zero-turn units. The Ferris AeroMax blade is available as a replacement part for the Z1-P and will be available on future Ferris innovations.
