All you wanna do is ride around,  said,   ride,   Sally,   ride

Here's simon on our brand new ZERO TURN rotary mower, which we've named 'Sally'. 

Simon came up with the name Sally, taken from the music legend Wilson Pickett's song.
Fair play Si, I have a lot of time for this.  Every machine should have fitting name.

The Zero Turn sit down is the most manoeuvrable mower for its size.
With a small cutting width the Zero Turn Rider is very versatile and can cope with very tight areas and fast enough to cover large areas at speed enabling high output per hour. They work well on slopes and gradients but are not classified as a bank mower. Although they do have a very low centre of gravity and are more stable than tractor style machines.
The Stand on Zero Turn Rider mower has now been around for 15 years. There are now nearly 10 manufacturers offering this design.

The benefits are many - namely :

  • Ease of Dismounting to remove objects and litter.
  • 30% shorter tan a Zero Turn sit down rider makes it the most manoeuvrable mower for its size
  • Minimum amount of trailer space required for transportation.

With cutting widths ranging from 36" - 72" the Zero Turn Rider is very versatile and can cope with very tight areas and fast enough to cover large areas at speed enabling high output per hour.

I will try and make sure by the end of the month I have a video of Simon showing off his skills.
