Honda UK launches new lawnmowers: Honda UK has added two new lawnmowers to its line-up, offering class-leading cutting and collecting performance and superb ease of use.

The HRN536 VK, and HRN536 VY both have a newly designed 53cm cutter deck. Power is provided from Honda’s proven GCVx170 engine. The two new models feature multiple enhancements over previous HRG536 models, making them even more versatile and user-friendly.

Variable speed

Smart Drive® provides on-the-move travel speed adjustment to suit the user and conditions. Movement and speed are controlled by the handlebar-mounted Smart Drive® lever, and the new models have a revised lever design which reduces thumb slippage for greater ease of use.

A new two-way ratchet in the transmission means the rear wheels can turn freely in either direction when the drive control is released, reducing the effort needed to move the mower forwards and backwards while negotiating obstacles and tight spaces.

Flexible operation

The cutter decks come with an enhanced Versamow™ selector. Versamow™ allows users to quickly switch between mulching and collecting grass, and the latest deck-mounted control is simple and easy to operate. MicroCut twin blades optimise cutting performance, and the new cutter housing design optimises airflow for best-in-class mulching and collection. There is a larger 70-litre grass bag, and the powerful filling action makes the most of the capacity even in challenging conditions.

Both models also offer a seven-stage cutting height selection. This is easily adjusted and set using two levers – one for the front axle and the other for the rear, and these are conveniently accessed from the same side.

User friendly

Other design features which make it easier to look after and use the new mowers include a large diameter petrol filler cap for convenient refuelling with reduced risk of spillage, and new quick-release clamps allow the handlebars to fold quickly and easily for transport and storage.

Extra convenience

The HRN536 VY has a similar specification to the HRN536 VK, but it also has a Roto-Stop® blade brake clutch for extra convenience. Roto-Stop® allows the user to start and stop the blade using a handlebar-mounted control while the engine is running. Advantages include reduced effort for starting – especially in long grass as the blades are not turning, and it also allows the engine to remain running while the grass bag is safely emptied so that there is no need to restart the engine each time. Roto-Stop® also enables travel between cutting areas using the engine to power the wheels while the blades remain stationary.

The new HRN536 VK and HRN536 VY are suitable for larger lawns including those with slopes and variable terrain. The attractive but functional styling is easy to look after and keep smart.

Först at SALTEX: The Först line-up at Saltex displays a range of formidable woodchippers. There are wheeled and tracked machines to meet the needs of arborists, landscapers, groundcare professionals, and local authorities around the world.

In just nine years since building their first chipper, Först has become Europe’s leading woodchipper manufacturer and a global brand. In the UK, Först’s special emphasis at Saltex is on their entire towable range now being available to all customers, given the upcoming changes to towing regulations. Först boasts the world’s most powerful 6” wheeled chipper, the ST6D 42. Fast and hungry, the ST6D has a wide hopper, robust all-steel construction and derives its power from a 42hp Doosan DPF engine. There is also a 24hp Kubota, naturally aspirated diesel.

The Först ST8D is an 8” capacity wheeled 55hp chipper with a huge amount of torque and phenomenal power to make light work of any type of timber and brash up to 8” in diameter. The Doosan engine is Stage 5 compliant and coupled with the large Först ‘open top’ flywheel and FörstGrip feed roller system, it has all the performance and power while still weighing in at 1375kg. It will now be towable by anyone with a standard driving licence thanks to the upcoming change in regulations. For the fastest, most aggressive sub 750kg chipper look no further than the Först ST6P. It is the best-selling 6” capacity petrol woodchipper in the UK and Europe with masses of power from the fuel efficient and emission compliant Vanguard 37hp V-Twin engine. At its heart, the ST6P uses the same chipping chamber, flywheel, feed roller system and hopper as its big brother, the ST6D, yet it remains sub 750kg.

Anybody looking for a turntable chipper that is fast, aggressive, robust yet incredibly compact and user friendly will find it in the Först TT6. It is a true 6” x 8” capacity machine that handles all types of material, from the dense and wet to awkward forks and limbs. It weighs in at less than 750kg and is a perfect match for the contractor and arborist working in an urban area. The Först TR8D is the ultimate for anyone who needs a tracked chipper, with its 55hp diesel engine delivering aggressive performance. High-speed tracking and remote control come as an option. Saltex stand C050. For more information, visit www.forstglobal.com or call +44 1264 721790.
