75% of the weight rests on the cast iron drive wheel with vulcanized knobby tread for superior traction and stability.
Available in either 12” or 18” cutting widths.
Heavy-duty, built-to-last cast iron gearbox for durability and long-life for rental or commercial use.
4 elastomeric handle isolators absorb and isolate vibration transmitted through the transmission case.
75% LESS VIBRATION!
• Advanced Technology Vibration Isolation
• Vibration Dampening Handle Support
• 9" × 3-1/2" pneumatic rear caster wheel with lockout absorbs vibration and makes it easy to cut turf on curved landscapes
Pneumatic rear caster wheel reduces turf compaction, and contributes to vibration isolation. Allows operator to more easily maneuver, and can be locked in place for straight-line and hillside cutting.
Available with a 4-cycle Honda® GX160 or a 4-cycle Briggs & Stratton® Vanguard™ engine.
Unlike competitive models, you can run the drive wheel without the cutter blade engaged.
Blade engagement is independent of drive wheel engagement; allows you to drive the machine to work site without engaging the blade.
Knife cutting action travels up to 2" fore and aft 20 times per second for consistent cutting with less vibration.
Cutting depth indicator is accessible to the operator, indicating cutting depths up to 2.5" (64 mm).
Infinite blade angle adjustments for aggressive cutting in adverse conditions.
