Mowers from Roberine

October 14, 2019/in Machinery, News, Press Release/by External Source

Mowers from Roberine: Dutch manufacturer Roberine produces mowing machines of the highest calibre and as a result the company is making real strides.

Established in 1951, Roberine is renowed for producing machines which create top quality and perfect cutting patterns. This is perhaps even more true in the present day than ever before.

This makes Roberine a serious option for all professionals in the green sector specialising in the management of sports grounds, parks and green spaces in public areas.

Because of the ability to adjust the mowing height the company’s flail mowers are versatile and work superbly not just for parks but for sport grounds as well.

The 3-series are three-part self-propelled mowers are the result of many years of experience in developing and creating machines for the green sector. In addition, the most advanced technology has been used, not only in terms of engine and drive engineering, but also in terms of mowing technology. The flail was developed in collaboration with Votex.

The new 5-series is based on the technology of the 3-series, which means that every professional can rely on a concept that has been proven in practice. The use of the best materials combined with ingenious technology minimises the chance of breakdowns. This makes it possible to use the machine day in, day out. With the F5, it is just as easy to mow short and high grass, and it doesn’t matter if it is dry or wet.
