Update To Automatically Raising Lowering Ferris Zero-Turn Riding Mower
 ✖  |
Thanks for the report in your last issue on how a neighbor used an electro-hydraulic cylinder from an old Deere small square bale thrower to automatically raise or lower the deck on my Ferris zero-turn riding mower. The cylinder is wired to the mower battery, so I can use a toggle switch instead of a hard-to-push-down foot pedal to raise or lower the deck.
If anyone is interested in doing this on their own, a commercial hydraulic-electric actuator will work, too. You can find an actuator and related components, such as mounting brackets and toggle switches, at Surplus Center (www.surpluscenter.com) or in their 2017 catalog (no. 290) on page 164.
