The newest name in UK turf maintenance, Kyoeisha UK, continues to introduce its line up of high performance turf machinery with the Baroness LM56, an 11-bladed greensmower.
With a cutting width of 556mm and a mowing rate of 250 cuts per metre, this top quality grooming machine features a five-year guarantee and is powered by the quiet and reliable Robin EX13D 3.2kw engine.
Transport wheels, wheel brakes and kickstand are all fitted as standard and being completely gear driven makes the unit easier to maintain and more durable than mowers with chains or belts.
Boasting a top-specification long-life Nickel-Chrome-Molybdenum cutting cylinder and hardened carbon steel bed knife the LM56 has a newly designed
easy-to-control throttle and clutch and is amongst the lightest mowers in its class and highly manoeuvrable.
The mower has a height of cut of between 1.5mm-13mm.and can be fitted with three optional accessories. A 78 knife grooming reel, a 39 blade- thatching reel or a 6cm diameter 49cm working width brush. All operate in both forward and reverse enabling the operator to groom, thatch or brush lightly in the forward direction, and more vigorously in reverse.
The stable-mate of the LM56 is the LM66. A 7-bladed teesmower with a cutting width of 646mm again powered by the EX13D Robin engine.
The LM66 has all the main features on the LM56 including a newly designed grass catcher with stainless steel mesh screen top allowing air to circulate and clippings to be distributed more evenly in the basket.
Mowing height on the LM66 is from 7-29mm and reel diameter is 128mm on newly designed grass catcher with stainless steel mesh screen top allows air to circulate and clippings to be distributed more evenly in the basket both machines.
Easy to maintain, it takes less than an hour to totally strip down the LM56 or LM66 and either can be totally overhauled in four hours by any mechanic
experienced in the maintenance of golf course equipment.
