Combining proven Kress technologies such as obstacle avoidance, and narrow passage navigation with 4G GPS Return Home, the Kress Mega features high torque in-wheel motors and dual cutting discs for the optimum level of commercial area coverage and performance up to 4400 m² (Mission Mega 3000 KR133E) or 6500m2 (Mission Mega 6000 KR136E).
Intiva intelligent navigation technology continually optimises the route during mowing to negotiate even tight areas with minimal time wastage. Patented ultrasound sensors (OAS) avoid collisions.
Dual blades with 35cm cutting width are designed to offer significantly improved cutting performance and it uses In-Wheel drive for precise and quiet mowing. The floating mowing deck evens out bumpy ground and protects blades from obstacles. Electronic height management gives cutting heights from 30-60 mm using an APP or onboard LCD display
The GPS-based Geotrace allows the mower to be controlled remotely from anywhere in the world and locates the machine to within 1m in case of theft.
There are also a number of practical features such as IPX5 spray water protection for easy cleaning, while the charging connector is located on the side of the unit for easy starting and clean cutting up to the charging station.
A ‘teamwork’ function allows several mowers to work within a single boundary wire.
Kress is also to add RTKn robot mowers to its range this year, allowing operation without a boundary wire.
The Ambrogio L400 supplied by Mower Magic has a capability of mowing up to 20,000 m2, can work unsupervised and is aimed at professional use.
Its three-bladed design gives a cut width of 84cm and each blade is independently mounted for a contoured finish even on undulating terrain up to 45% slopes. Patented rear wheels offer grip even on wet surfaces and the carbon fibre shell incorporates bumpers for protection.
Four 15ah lithium ion batteries offer up to 11 hours continuous cutting, and navigation is via GPS , with the option to cut in zones. With a touchscreen display on the mower, it is controlled via a Bluetooth-GSM app.
One of the latest models has been installed at Washingborough Academy, Lincoln, a nursery and junior school with grounds of around 17,000 m2.
