Textron
Specialized Vehicles Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, has announced
the launch of its new Ransomes TR320 triplex cylinder mower at the SALTEX
exhibition at Birmingham’s NEC in November.
The
Ransomes TR320 is one of the lightest machines on the market, ensuring that
surfaces are kept pristine.
It
features a powerful 24.8hp Kubota diesel engine with service-free direct drive
to the hydraulic system. Superb stability, traction and drive, ensure that the
TR320 has class-leading slope capabilities, increasing operator safety and
machine capabilities.
“The
TR320 is the perfect machine for sports pitches, landscaping and fine turf
applications,” Antony Alexander, Product Manager of Textron Specialized
Vehicles, said.
“The
TR320 has been developed with simplicity and comfort at its core. Designed to
place as little stress on the turf as possible, alongside a wide range of
cutting options, the TR320 delivers a first-class finish. Common components
have also been used, meaning that servicing the machine is extremely simple.”
The
TR320 has the narrowest transport width (1.64m) in its class and an impressive
cutting width of up to 2.13m. This combination allows operators to safely
negotiate the tightest of spaces and most challenging terrain with ease. Many
reel options are also available to suit various applications, and users have
the option to choose either smooth or treaded tyres.
Developed
with operator comfort in mind, the new platform offers a fully adjustable
control arm with ergonomic fingertip controls. Visibility from the operator’s
platform has been enhanced to provide unobstructed views of the cutting units,
increasing safety and ease-of-operation.
With
the option of an on-board backlap function, the Ransomes TR320 has been built
for productivity, quality of cut and durability. Primarily targeted at the
sportsturf and landscaping market, the TR320 provides a quality maintenance
solution for sports pitches, estates, and light municipal applications.
