It is that time of year when Mother Nature donates to us her generous gift of leaf fall! Without the correct machine for the job, tidying up open spaces can present a problem.
Etesia has the solution with their Hydro range of ride-on mowers. With their unique direct rear ejection system that cuts and collects, even in wet or long grass, these rotaries offer more than just superb mowing - at this time of year their anti-clog capabilities mean they can also double as superb machines for picking up leaves, litter and other debris.
Whether working on grass or hard surfaces, such as roadways and paths, the aerodynamically-created suction beneath the deck ensures that all material is collected via the cutting system and deposited into the large rear-mounted collector. Etesia's range offers high-tip or ground emptying models with cutting widths of 80cm, 100cm and 124cm. All have powerful, well proven engines running on a choice of either B30 bio diesel, diesel or petrol.
Low decibel levels of the machines in working mode ensure operator comfort and prevent noise pollution on public areas where trees and shrubs abound, such as parks, schools, golf courses and other sites where the sound of a machine in operation could cause a nuisance.
On all Etesia Hydro ride-on mowers, hydrostatic drive with forward and reverse pedals provides variable speeds in both directions. Even weight distribution combines with the relatively low machine weight thus ensuring minimal damage to turf. Ergonomic design provides total comfort to minimise operator fatigue and all controls are within easy reach from the driving seat.
