McConnel has a firm reputation for blazing trails with quality,
innovation and technology.
Now the company has introducing the ultimate in remote controlled
machinery with the next generation ROBOCUT range.
Designed for the most challenging conditions, the all-terrain
capability of the all new ROBOCUT is superior on every level.
The range comprises two new models, ROBOCUT RC56 and RC75 which
surpass all expectations with an exciting new ground up design which
incorporates the very latest advancements in technology.
The new models boast more power, an advanced feature set and a
revolutionary control system for greater output, safety and control.
ROBOCUT power comes in the form of two new engine choices, 56hp
and 75hp, which have been developed in a partnership with Hatz GmbH
specifically for working on steep gradients of 55 degrees.
New engines provide up to 75% increase in power resulting in
market leading power-to-weight ratio. Fuel efficiency has also increased by
20%, coupled with 100% increase in fuel capacity enabling up to eight hours of
operation between refills.
A new common chassis design provides a lower centre of gravity and
perfect 50/50 weight distribution for maximum stability and control in
challenging terrain. Fully integrated, dual roll-over protection bars,
quick access lifting points and dedicated accessory mounting points also come
as standard.
The new feature set includes, a programmable attachment floatation
system, StaySafe flailhead hood control for highway mowing, On-machine
Activation digital display for customisation of machine settings, Keyless start
technology for improved safety, Daytime running lighting to aid visual
orientation at distance, high intensity LED work lights and four integrated LED
strobe lights with pre-set ECE compliant sequences.
The new remote control unit features informative, high visibility
digital display providing valuable feedback to the operator including machine
engine RPM, engine temperature and signal strength.
ROBOCUT’s new ROBO-READY battery dock simultaneously stores and
charges one of the two remote control battery packs for quick and convenient
change over in field for reduced downtime.
The introduction of fully enclosed body panels protect the power
unit from damage when working in harsh environments whilst also keeping out
grass and debris. The stylised design also incorporates gull-wing style side
panels that provided quick and easy access to engine bay.
For the first time GPS Autosteer will be available, developed in
conjunction with Trimble, a world leader in a wide range of positioning
technologies. GPS Autosteer enables operators to control precise cutting to an
accuracy of 25mm from up to 150 metres away, eliminating wasteful overlap with
each pass, dramatically increasing productivity.
The new power plants enable wider 1.6m and 1.9m flailheads to be
fitted to ROBOCUT for greater output. The popular 1.3m Grass, Forestry and
Mulcher flailheads remain available within the extensive attachment line-up.
