Lawn & Turf Industry Solutions

In the lawn and turf industry, equipment performance is judged by every pass of the mower. A smooth cut, a reliable start, and durability through years of use all depend on what’s happening inside the machine. That’s where Farrar Corporation makes the
difference.

We partner with OEMs across the continental United States to engineer and manufacture ductile iron components that deliver both toughness and precision. But what truly sets Farrar apart is our ability to provide complete solutions, not just castings.

Ductile Iron Castings with a Proven Track Record in Lawn & Turf

One of the strongest examples of Farrar’s value comes from our partnership with a leading lawnmower manufacturer. Over the years, we have produced more than 300,000 complete gearboxes for their equipment. This wasn’t just about pouring ductile iron; it was about delivering a full turnkey solution:

Casting the housings in our ISO 9001:2015-certified foundry
Applying protective finishing for long-term outdoor durability
Precision machining of critical components
Final assembly of the gearbox, ready to ship directly into their production line

The result? A reliable, repeatable product that powered their lawnmowers season after season, backed by Farrar’s control over every step of the process and our ability to scale production while maintaining quality.

Why Ductile Iron Works in Lawn and Turf

Lawn and turf equipment may not face the same loads as construction machinery, but it does endure relentless vibration, moisture, and outdoor exposure. Ductile iron is the material that balances cost, strength, and durability for this environment. Its ability to resist wear and absorb impact makes it ideal for housings, gears, and structural supports that can’t afford to fail when a mower is in the middle of a job.

Beyond Ductile Iron Components: A Partnership

What Farrar provides lawn and turf OEMs go beyond supplying cast parts. Because we manage casting, machining, finishing, and even assembly under one roof, manufacturers gain:

  • Simplified supply chains with fewer vendors to manage
  • Consistency from prototype to high-volume production
  • Faster turnaround, supported by simulation-driven design and in-house tooling
  • Confidence that every component, or complete assembly, will arrive ready for installation

Our goal isn’t just to make ductile iron parts. It’s to make our customers more competitive by giving them reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solutions that scale with their business.

Why OEMs Trust Farrar

For lawn and turf equipment manufacturers, reputation is built on reliability. A gearbox that lasts for years, a mower that runs without interruption, or a machine that delivers consistent performance. These are the outcomes that end-users notice. OEMs choose Farrar because we help make that reliability possible.

With production runs from 500 to 50,000 pieces and the proven ability to provide full turnkey ductile iron castings, Farrar is the partner that lawn and turf manufacturers can depend on.
