Description
These three Heavy Duty Cylinder Mowers are ideal for athletic tracks, rugby fields, cricket ovals, hockey fields, private estates, soccer fields or any formal grass areas where a perfect cut is required. The machine is particularly suited for contractors and municipalities. Also popular with Golf courses for tees because the back drums are rubberised and give additional traction needed on slopes.
Change-over time from a Cutting Cylinder cassette to another cassette is only 15 minutes.
The HD760 and HD914 are fitted with larger engines and can be utilised in conjunction with a trailer seat, to transform the HD mower into a ride-on mower.
To sharpen the cutting cylinder without having to remove it from the mower, the Protea Backlapping machine can be used.
The designs of the three mowers are identical, but the HD914, in particular, has become popular over the last few years. 95 HD914s were supplied to most soccer stadiums in 2010 for the FIFA Soccer World Cup in South Africa. In 2012 the HD914 was used in the UEFA Soccer European Cup. In 2013/14 the HD914 was used in most stadiums for the African Cup Soccer Championship. Another reason why the HD machines have become popular is because of the quick and easy conversion of a mower into a powerful Verticutter machine.
