For contractors cutting large areas of roadside verge and working in demanding locations Reform Metrac H70R and Muthing MU-M mower from Simon Richard is the ultimate combination.
It’s the choice of leading businesses such as Ray Britland Contracting and Cotswold Estates and Gardens.
Powered by a reliable 75hp Perkins Stage V engine, the Metrac H70R is designed to handle extreme slopes with the engine and cab mounted at the centre of gravity in the chassis.
Updates on the latest H70R version include tractive power increased by 14% compared to its predecessor.
A two-range hydrostatic drive offers a top speed of 40kph and two mechanical off-road reductions, controllable via pedal or drive lever.
The linkage technology is based on a load-dependent working hydraulic system with electro-hydraulic weight compensation; cat 1 and 2 front and rear linkages each have 1500kg lift capacity and front and rear ptos are standard.
A standout feature is the multifunction joystick, integrated into the mechanical drive lever, which allows the selection of front, rear, all-wheel, crab, and offset all-wheel steering modes.
Wide, low-pressure tyres ensure maximum traction while maintaining low ground pressures.
A new cab design has a full glass door for improved visibility and a wider entry. The air conditioning system has also been updated with mixed air flowing from ventilation nozzles in the dashboard.
Paired with the Muthing MU-H Vario it’s a formidable verge mowing tool: the Muthing’s purpose-designed hood, high rotor and cutting speeds and removable shredding bar spread the shredded material evenly behind the roller giving excellent mulching and shredding quality. It’s made from high quality steel QST/S with multi position Cat. I + II headstock for front or rear mounting; models are from 1.4-2.2m working widths. The self-cleaning rear roller carries the mulcher and is adjustable for height.
