560 HY WS PowerSafe
Motor mower with hydrostatic drive and assisted hydraulically controlled steering
For those who need to work in “no-limits” conditions and on steep slopes, Ferrari introduces the new 560 HY WS PowerSafe motor mower with hydrostatic drive and assisted hydraulically controlled steering system.
The 560 HY WS PowerSafe is the only hydrostatic motor mower in the world to be equipped with a patented PowerSafe hydraulic clutch with multiple steel discs in oil bath and connected directly to the engine.
The ergonomics of the easily operated levers together with the high drive and braking capability ensure easy manoeuvrability and a total and safe control of the unit, even in the toughest conditions.
The Ferrari 560 HY WS PowerSafe motor mower has 2 speed ranges (slow/fast) selected by the operator with a mechanical control situated on the handlebars, an automatic parking brake with manual release mechanism for forced manoeuvres.
The engines fitted include a Honda GX390 Alps 11.7 HP petrol engine, a Briggs&Stratton Vanguard 16 HP two-cylinder petrol engine and a Yanmar LN100 10 HP diesel engine prepared for use on steep slopes.
The versatility of the machine is guaranteed by an unlimited series of attachments, such as: cutter bars, heavy-duty mowers, lawn mowers and generally speaking all the attachments used for alpine haymaking and for uses in municipalities.

- DIRECTION CONTROLEasyGrip: The „EasyGrip“ lever control guarantees a high operating comfort especially for those operations requiring frequent direction reverse, such as greens maintenance and typical uses in municipalities.
EasyRider: The „EasyRider“ direction control by rotating knob, motorcyclist type, allows the operator to control the direction holding the handlebar with the right hand. This allows to better control the unit in deep slopes, such as cutting on hilly grounds. The knob rotates on ball bearings to reduce driving friction.
For both direction controls, a notch sector allows the operator to easily and repeatedly fix the position of the lever or of the knob. A central area without notches lets the lever or the knob to be positioned as desired, so that the machine can operate at a very slow speed.
- POWERSAFEThe PowerSafe hydraulic clutch ensures several advantages:
- Performance and Reliability of a hydraulic clutch with no maintenance, even in heavy use with alternating movement tools (cutter bars) or in use at a high inertia level (lawn mower or heavy-duty mower).
- Safety immediate machine stop due to an integrated automatic brake which stops both the machine and the attachment when releasing the handlebar.
- Comfort with elimination of preliminary stages for engine starting which runs continuously even when the operator releases the handlebar.
- Guarantee: the PowerSafe clutch unit has a 5-year extended guarantee.
- HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSIONMechanical transmission at power take-off by means of gears in an oil bath.
Transmission from the gearbox main shaft to the hydrostatic unit pump by means of cylindrical gears in oil bath with helical teeth.
Transmission from the hydrostatic motor to the gearbox by means of cylindrical gears in oil bath.
Thanks to a single lever placed on the handlebars or a rotating knob, motorcyclist type (EasyRider version), the speed and direction of the machine can be adjusted continuously. This means an unlimited amount of gears are available for all operating requirements.
The forward speeds (with the engine at 3,600 rpm and 5.0-10 wheels) vary from 0 to 4.7 km/h in the slow range and from 0 to 7.0 km/h in the fast range; in reverse they vary from 0 to 4.3 km/h in the slow range and from 0 to 6.3 km/h in the fast range.
The automatic parking brake (Auto-hold) locks the machine in position at the grip limit even with the engine switched off, while a manual release mechanism protected by a safety lock to prevent accidental triggering allows forced manoeuvres to be carried out.
- STEERING CLUTCHESThis original mechanism independently controls the steering clutch-brake mechanisms on the two wheels, affording the Ferrari 560 HY WS PowerSafe excellent and practical usage on steep slopes. This gives the machine maximum steering comfort, easy handling and perfect control of the machine in operation.
The steering clutch-brake mechanisms with multiple steel discs in oil bath are housed in closed cases on the two wheels.
The lever-operated steering controls, situated on either side of the handlebar grips, are hydraulically-operated. The right steering control is replicated on the left handlebar.
