Tractor distributor Landini UK has introduced a tough new ride-on mower for farmers wanting to keep lawns, small orchards and other light vegetation in trim.
Despite its size, the Valpadana 1020 HSB is equipped with a number of full-size tractor features.
Hydrostatic transmission makes the machine easy to drive - all it takes is a little pressure on either end of the rocking accelerator pedal to get the machine going forwards or backwards.
A Briggs & Stratton Vanguard V-Twin petrol-fuelled engine, with 16hp output, provides plenty of power to drive the tractor and the mowing deck - or any other implements fitted to the machine.
There is quite a choice, from the 109cm wide mid-mounted mowing deck to a rear-mounted 100cm flail mower for rougher areas of vegetation. A power tiller is available for cultivating large flower beds and vegetable gardens.
There are turf tyres for work on grass and tractor grip tyres for working the soil. And when things get really tough, the Valpadana driver can lock the rear axle differential to prevent one wheel spinning if it loses traction.
Whatever the work, the driver gets to sit comfortably on an adjustable seat with spring suspension and no clutter around the legs to get in the way.
Full details on Valpadana products are available via the information hotline 01302-733573 at distributor Landini UK or local dealers.
