Eco Clipper FM4 Sport for sporting grounds
Eco Clipper , known for electric mowers for the turf industry , has introduced a special version for the maintenance of sports and recreational grounds .
The 4.11 m wide front mower features four independent cutting decks . For the FM4 Sport , the side decks can be folded in independently , allowing for narrow passages to be mowed .
The smooth decks with fast rotating small blades ensure a high quality cut and good clippings dispersion . The clip-pings are also spread well in wet grass . This makes it possible to schedule this mower almost independently of the weather .
The Eco Clipper mowers are further distinguished by the high possible mow-ing speed . On turf farms mowing speeds up to 16 mph with the Eco Clippers are not uncommon . This is not practical on sports fields , but speeds of 12 mph are easily feasible for tractors with vario or hydrostatic drive . This means that on average a sports field can be mowed in less than fifteen minutes with an Eco Clipper FM4 Sport .
Users appreciate the efficiency of the electric drive and the mower ’ s low noise level . To operate the mower a 40 HP tractor is already sufficient , but for transport and driver comfort a larger tractor which can drive 25 mph on the road is often chosen .
The electricity to drive the mower is generated by a PTO driven generator . For larger tractors , the generator is fitted on the front mower . For smaller tractors and optimized weight balance Eco Clipper also offers a separate gener-ator unit option for behind the tractor .
