Martin Wasley presented the new machine to the assembled dealers saying the company felt the machine, which has proved popular in the States, would be ideal for large estates and for professional contractors. He was keen to point out that the unit is especially good working on banks. It offers stability and precision control with four-wheel steering delivering a quality cut even at 20 degree inclines.

Martin said, “It’s so stable, you can go across the bank, round the tree, and then carry on.”

Also of interest, the mower boasts an electronically-applied dual layer of e-coat and powder which provides superior protection against harsh weather and ensures that all parts are evenly coated. Martin pointed out this process delivers automotive-grade corrosion resistance.

A smooth ride is achieved via the high-back elasticity vibration control (EVC) comfort seat with arm rests. And the soft grip steering wheel can be positioned to suit the operator using the quick adjusting steering column.
