Ferris®, a Briggs & Stratton® brand, has introduced the FB1000 Hurricane, a compact yet powerful addition to its stand-on blower lineup. Designed for landscaping crews seeking efficiency, the new model promises faster debris cleanup without sacrificing performance.
Despite its 35.5-inch width, the FB1000 packs an 18hp Vanguard® V-Twin engine, delivering robust performance. Its large horizontal impeller generates 3,500 CFM and 150+ mph airflow, enabling hands-free debris clearing at speeds up to 8 mph.
Built for Productivity and Comfort
Kody Van Sistine, Ferris Brand Manager, emphasized the machine’s responsiveness to landscaper feedback: “The FB1000 meets the demand for a smaller, agile blower without compromising power. It’s ideal for expanding fleets and boosting productivity while prioritizing operator comfort.” Key features include:
Foot-driven airflow control: allowing hands-free adjustments for uninterrupted operation.
Isolated fold-up platform: polymer bumpers reduce vibrations for a smoother ride.
20 x 8-8 drive tires: enhanced stability and traction across varied terrain.
Ergonomic controls: intuitive steering, choke, and throttle for ease of use.
Pricing and Availability
Priced at just over $9,000, the FB1000 is now available through Ferris dealers. It joins the larger FB2000 and FB3000 Hurricane models, rounding out the brand’s commercial-grade blower and mower offerings.
This release underscores Ferris’ commitment to innovation in landscape equipment, catering to professionals who demand power, efficiency, and compact design in one package.
