Cumbernauld based contractor Inex Works Group Ltd has recently added an SG280 slope mower to their fleet.
Managing Director Alan Stevenson says: "Our particular need was for a multi-purpose machine for a growing number of contracts where the requirements are speed of working and operator safety at angles of 18 degrees upwards.
"The SG280 clearly meets those criteria. Our business is benefiting from improved cut quality with reduced scalping and scarring at 25mm cut height when compared to other machinery, safe operative working and a reduction in cutting time of around 40% which has also reduced our costs."
Paul Butterly, MD of FGM Claymore, UK Distributor for the Shibaura range added: "The SG280 is one of the most cost effective solutions for working on slopes and the ideal choice for the local authority and professional user where lifetime cost, value for money and addressing of health and safety issues are priorities.
"The Shibaura compact professional brand is recognized for offering added value and we are seeing sustained tractor sales growth in the UK."
Simon Richard, UK Sales Agent for the Shibaura range said: "With low noise and vibration levels, the SG280 is an extremely operator friendly machine.
"The Shibaura 28HP 3 cylinder diesel engine complies with current emission regulations and the solid 50-50 weight distribution, together with a 1500mm wheel base and low centre of gravity, delivers the stability and safety of operation required when working on steep inclines at up to 30 degree angles."
