The LM Trac LM287 multi-tool carrier, available from Kioti UK, is a highly versatile machine for landscape and highway maintenance.
With the ability to operate all year round and its capability to operate a wide range of auxiliary equipment, it can effectively perform a variety of tasks, including mechanical weeding, mowing, hedge cutting, brushing, leaf suction, snow ploughing, gritting, and sweeping and collecting. This makes it a valuable asset for landscaping and highway maintenance businesses.
The LM287’s compact design, along with its rear steering axle makes it suitable for use in both narrow residential streets and larger areas of vegetation. Four wheel drive is available as an option if considered necessary. The integrated A-frame, mounted on a front linkage, enables quick and easy mounting of equipment, and the auxiliary hydraulic system provides a maximum flow of 60 litres per minute at 200 bar, delivering the necessary power for various tasks.
The combination of front-mounted equipment and a forward-positioned cab provides greater comfort and easier visibility for the operator, reducing the need to constantly twist and turn. The rear load platform further enhances the versatility of the LM Trac LM287 multi-tool carrier, as it can be used for the mounting of spreaders, gritters, or suction units. Its position above the rear axle also helps to transfer the payload through the axles, which increases traction on the drive wheels and enhances performance.
A twin-speed hydrostatic drive, operated by a dual pedal, provides a top speed of 22 km/hr in two-wheel drive. Power to the transmission and auxiliary hydraulics is supplied by a Stage V Perkins diesel engine rated at 36 hp. For operators wanting a more environmentally friendly solution, a full electric drive option (the LM287E) is currently in the final stages of testing and should be available in late 2023.
