A flat, crisp cut with precision blades


A flat, crisp cut with precision blades

6mm thick precision blades resist flexing to provide a flat, crisp cut. High-strength, heat-treated alloy steel survives impacts and provides resistance to the rapid wear commonly associated with abrasive conditions.


The industry's toughest spindle assembly


The industry's toughest spindle assembly

Rigorously tested to ensure that it can survive impacts that would destroy lesser spindles. The cast iron housing, with a massive 24cm (9-3/8") diametre base, absorbs impact loads and distributes them across a broader area of the robust deck shell. Tapered roller bearings last up to six times longer than ball bearings.


High-performance Discharge Chute


High-performance Discharge Chute

High performance 8mm (5/16") rubber discharge chute allows for close trimming without damaging chute or landscape structures. Patented design provides exceptional clipping dispersion.


TURBO FORCE Deck

7-gauge, high-strength steel

Constructed of high-strength 7-gauge steel (50,000 psi minimum yield strength), the deck shell is extremely resistant to impacts and abrasion. At a full 14 cm deep, the deck has more than enough capacity to handle the most demanding conditions.


Folding Rollover Protection System


Folding Rollover Protection System

A Rollover Protection System (ROPS), complete with seat belt, comes standard for operator protection in the case of accidental rollovers and tipovers. In situations where sufficient vertical clearance is not available, such as loading on an enclosed trailer, the ROPS can be temporarily unlocked and folded down.
