The Blackburn based Stuart Taylor dealership has recently taken delivery of three Reform Metrac H75 bank mowers from UK Agent Simon Richard Ltd.
Tommy Taylor said: “Two of the Reforms are for Stoke City council for maintenance of banked grassed areas and a wide range of open spaces. The authority say they are impressed with both performance and operator safety.”
Simon Richard added: “The 75hp Reform Metrac H75 has proven itself to be a year round workhorse for a wide range of groundcare tasks. Steering modes include front, rear, crab and four-wheel steer.”
The 75hp hydrostatic drive Metrac H75, the latest model in their multifunctional tool carrier range, serving the professional contractor, local authority and golf sectors.
The H75 is powered by a common rail diesel engine from Perkins, which complies with Tier V emissions level Classified as emissions level 5, the tractor has an impressive lifting force of 1500kg to both front and rear linkage for categories 1 or 2 and the rear can be equipped with a quick hitch system while the high efficiency of the electrohydraulic power shift PTO provides power precisely when needed.
When four-wheel steering is active, the front and rear wheels run exactly in the same line, ensuring tension-free traction on more difficult terrain. Front, rear, four wheel and crab steering as well as offset fourwheel steering can easily be switched at the push of a button.
The hydrostatic drive with two speed ranges and two terrain gear reductions enables continuous adaptation of the driving speed.
The system is completed by the electro-hydraulic spring brake with an auto hold function which allows smooth and judder-free setting off on slopes.
Operator comfort is catered for with a newly designed cab which has been completely decoupled from other vehicle components.
This results in a major reduction in noise level and significantly lowered vibrations.
The ergonomic armrest with its central controls forms the basis for the easy operation of the new Metrac H75. It is attached to the driver’s seat, allowing fatigue-free working on any terrain, without interference from vibrations or slopes.
The multi-function joystick combines all functions for driving and for controlling the attachments. The focus here was on logical and intuitive operation.
