The RC 300 Series RC318T rider is an innovative ride-on lawnmower with grass collection function, designed for year-round demanding domestic and landowner use. Sold separately, you must choose from a 103 cm or 112 cm cutting deck.
The non-clogging ACTech collection technology efficiently compacts grass cuttings in the sizable 300 Litre grass collector for greater coverage and collection before downtime, and leaves a clean lawn as a result. The collector can be effortlessly emptied from the drivers seat, minimising downtime for more productive working.
This models boasts a high performance Briggs & Stratton 656 cm3 12.6 kW engine for reliable power every time, even for tough jobs. It’s easy to get the rider started in any weather conditions, just turn the key and go. The cutting height – which can be adjusted from the drivers seated position – can be positioned between 25 mm and 75 mm to suit.
The pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission means you are able to keep your hands on the steering wheel while controlling your speed and forward or reverse direction. This makes the machine as a whole easier to control, while the rear-mounted engine also provides you with a better overview of what you are mowing, and reduces emissions and noise in the drivers close vicinity.
The RC 318T is a highly manoeuvrable mower with a front-mounted deck, which gives you the option of cutting beneath bushes and under obstacles, as well as ensuring you can see exactly what you are mowing at all times. Articulated steering provides the agility to manoeuvre in confined spaces, too. It has a small uncut circle of 50 cm.
The rear axle pivots increasing traction on the drive wheels and giving a smoother ride on uneven surfaces. This is also assisted by four large wheels which have the added bonus of ensuring a comfortable ride and increased accessibility.
As well as being comfortable to drive, the RC 318T is also simple to operate, with features such as easy access controls and automatic blade engagement when the cutter deck is lowered all helping in this area. A large transparent fuel tank means you can easily check your level, and the external fuel cap means refuelling is easy with no need to open the hood. LED headlights provide a lit area in darker conditions for increased safety.
