Convenient bottle holder for refreshments.
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
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.
Rear ejection
The rear ejection cutting mode provides highly-effective cutting performance on areas that are cut less frequently.
Adjustable pitch angle
Possible to fine-tune the cutting deck position, to ensure perfect cutting results at all times.
Pivoting rear axle
The rear axle is pivoting to get maximum traction on the drive wheels and a smooth ride also on uneven surfaces.
