Service position
Service position on the cutting deck facilitates cleaning and servicing.
Comfortable driver's position
With a Rider you get safety, stability and traction on both flat grounds and hillsides. The Rider's low centre of gravity contributes to the exceptional traction as well as a comfortable 'sit-in' feeling for the user.
Cutting decks and accessories
A wide range of cutting decks and accessories make our Riders exceptionally versatile.
External fuel cap
Thanks to the external fuel cap, you don't have to open the engine hood when taking on more fuel. The extra wide fuel tank opening makes refueling even easier.
Pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission
Speed and direction are managed by pedals, which lets you keep both hands on the steering wheel, for optimum driving control.
Easy-access controls
Controls are easily accessible and designed for optimum user comfort.
Automatic blade engagement
The blades are engaged automatically, when you lower the cutting deck.
Easy-access cutting height lever
The cutting height lever is easy to reach from the driver's seat, making it possible to do cutting height changes while mowing.
BioClip®
BioClip® (mulching) provides excellent cutting results on frequently cut areas. The grass is cut into fine pieces that quickly decompose and return to the lawn as natural fertiliser.
Rear ejection
The rear ejection cutting mode provides highly-effective cutting performance on areas that are cut less frequently.
16 inch wheels
16 inch wheels both front and back for optimal riding comfort and accessibility.
Engine behind driver
Thanks to the rear-mounted engine, you get a better overview of the mowing and less noise and emissions in the driver's area.
Tilting hood
The tilting hood and easily accessible servicing points makes maintenance and servicing easy.
Transparent fuel tank
Large fuel tank with transparent panel allows easy checking of fuel level.
Pivoting rear axle
The rear axle is pivoting to get maximum traction on the drive wheels and a smooth ride also on uneven surfaces.
Storage compartment
The open left-hand storage is easy to access while mowing.
