What are the benefits of IS® Independent Suspension?

Comfort

IS® Independent Suspension (patented) absorbs the bumps and jolts that cause operator discomfort and fatigue. Businesses in the lawn maintenance industry looking to improve their bottom line will find the comfort afforded by IS® translates to increased productivity and operator satisfaction.

Speed

Many operators are not aware that they slow down their mower to compensate for bumps and jolts – until they test drive a mower with IS® Independent Suspension. Protected from the effects of rough terrain, the operator naturally increases speed, taking full advantage of available horsepower. The result: more acres per hour. To better understand this point, imagine how much slower you would drive your car if it didn't have independent suspension.

IS® Independent Suspension Equals Speed: Speed Equals Productivity.

Extended Mower Life

Suspension benefits the chassis by reducing shock load. As a result, a mower with IS® Independent Suspension will last longer and require fewer repairs than a similar non-suspension mower.

Traction

IS® Independent Suspension maximizes ground contact by providing constant downward pressure on the drive wheels. The importance of traction is undisputed in the mowing industry. Breaking contact, especially on hillsides, can result in hazardous slippage, even rollovers. Traction is especially important when driving a zero-turn mower which relies entirely on the drive wheels for steering.

Like every commercial mowing innovation, the success of independent suspension depends on its value to the landscape contractor. But, get any five owners of Independent Suspension mowers together and ask them what they find appealing, and you'll get five different answers. Independent suspension offers multiple benefits to the landscaper. This, perhaps more than anything, has made the advent of Independent Suspension, not just an innovation, but a revolution in commercial mowing.
