KAWASAKI RELAUNCHED AS MITOX
Professional brushcutter range
In the Spring of 2013, Kawasaki announced that it was dropping its Power Products range in order to focus on its core 2-stroke and 4-stroke engine business. The entire European stock was subsequently bought by Rochfords who then provided on-going support for the products.
Ongoing negotiations and liaison with the manufacturer of the product range over the past year, has now resulted in the former Kawasaki brushcutter range being re-launched in the UK under the Japanese-built Mitox Professional brand. Mark Rochford says "Apart from now carrying the Mitox branding, these are the same machiness and the same quality which many dealers have sold so successfully over many years."
The new Mitox machines, formerly Kawasaki, still boast Kawasaki engines and quality Japanese manufacture, yet at lower prices in 2015 than would have been paid for the equivalent Kawasaki brushcutter in 2014. They also include a 3-year commercial warranty (5-years domestic). There will also be other products in the professional range to come.
Mitox heavy-duty 5300UK PRO
At the top end of the brushcutter range is the Mitox heavy-duty 5300UK PRO. It comes with a two-line nylon head with hand/arm vibration figures of right/left 2.7/2.5 (ahv, eq m/s) and a three tooth metal blade, with hand/arm vibration of right/left 2.3/1.6 (ahv, eq m/s). Power comes in the form of the 2-stroke 53.2cc Kawasaki engine producing 2.0kW at 8000 rpm. It weighs 10.4kg. The U handle makes light work of the toughest conditions and adjusts for transport. It costs £499.17 plus VAT.
Also available is the Mitox 2700LK PRO which offers a commercial grade, lightweight, brushcutter with low noise, low vibration, ideal balance and easy-start for lawn and garden maintenance. This retails at RRP £307.50 plus VAT.
There are four more machines to choose from to cover garden, intermediate and heavy duty use. Mitox is a brand owned and distributed by Rochford Garden Machinery Ltd.
