The lightest mower in its class due to its ground up design and use of high strength steel, the Ransomes MP493 batwing rotary benefits from significant fuel savings as a result of its reduced weight.
The 49hp Kubota engine falls outside the European Stage IIIB emissions legislation making it less complex to maintain.
The most obvious difference with MP495 is the choice of Magna 250 fixed head cylinder cutting units for general maintenance work and Sport 200 fixed and floating head cylinders for high quality turf maintenance. However there is over 70% commonality between the two.
The operator controls feature the same pedal arrangement as the latest Ransomes Highway 3, Parkway 3 and HR300 and the same control unit, which includes a display screen providing real-time feedback plus diagnostic and regular servicing information.
An optional road legal lighting kit is available and positioned not to impede visibility to the cutting units.
Also available in the MP Series of mowers is the more powerful 65hp Ransomes MP653 and MP653 XC batwing rotary mowers, and the MP655 cylinder mower.
