Serving Petal & Forrest County
Ferris Mower Dealer Near Petal, Mississippi
Dykes Motors Power Equipment is the closest authorized Ferris dealer to Petal — about 50 minutes north on Highway 49 in Collins. If you're in Petal, Oak Grove, Purvis, or anywhere in Forrest County with ground to cut, it's worth the drive for a machine that holds up to Mississippi summers and has real dealer support behind it.
Why Petal Customers Make the Drive to Collins
Petal sits right on the edge of the Hattiesburg metro — lots of large residential properties, established neighborhoods with real acreage, and a mix of landscaping crews working routes across Forrest County. Most equipment options nearby are big-box retail or residential-only brands. We're an authorized Ferris dealer, meaning we stock the full commercial lineup, we service what we sell, and we carry OEM parts on-site.
Ferris is a working machine. The operators we see from Petal and the surrounding area aren't mowing a quarter-acre twice a month — they're running several acres every week through a Mississippi growing season that runs nine months. That's a different job than what a residential rider handles.
Who in Petal Buys from Us
Three groups from the Petal area come to us regularly:
- Large-property homeowners— properties in the 3–15-acre range around Petal, Old Highway 11, and the rural edges of Forrest County. They want a mower that finishes fast, rides well, and doesn't need to be babied. The Ferris 500S(starting at $6,499, 25 HP, 48–61" deck) handles that job for years without drama.
- Commercial landscapers — crews working residential and commercial accounts across Hattiesburg and Petal. Stand-on mowers from our lineup are what most trailer-based crews are running — compact, fast, and trailer-friendly. The Ferris ISX 800(27 HP, ForeFront suspension, 52–60" deck, from $10,149) is a proven commercial platform that holds up to daily use.
- Poultry and farm operations— Forrest County has active broiler operations, and keeping biosecure pad edges and driveways mowed is part of the job. Consistent cut, reliable starts every time, and a mower that washes down easy matter more than most buyers realize until they're on their third residential unit.
