McConnel Team Up With Fendt

For Local Authorities and verge mowing contractors in mind, McConnel have adapted their Power Arm 93 hedge cutter to fit the front mounting positions of the Fendt Zylon series of tractors.

The new unit has a reach of 5m (16'5"), and is fitted with a Hy-Power totally independent hydraulic system that can supply up to 20% extra power to the flail head. The front PTO of the Zylon powers the 54hp hydraulic system on the PA93, which delivers maximum power to the 1.2m flailhead. A built-in wire trap and rubber flaps help to prevent material being thrown onto the tractor. A front flap kit is an option.

From inside the 2-man cab of the Zylon, visibility to the flail head is superb, with 100% forward vision. The absence of a bonnet offers an uninterrupted view of the power Arm unit both in work and in transport, and the generous window area of the cab provides all round vision. With a powershift transmission and suspension, speeds of up to 50kph can be obtained.

The operator controls the front mounted PA93 by using the electric control box, and will allow simultaneous operation of all functions. Digital proportional armrest controls are also available.
