The City Ranger 3070 Triplex Rotary mower
2500 operates quickly and effectively to meet
your every cutting need – even on dicult
lawns.
The Triplex Rotary mower cuts and recuts the
grass into tiny particles and blows them down
into the lawn which fertilises the soil naturally
throughout the summer. The result is a green
and well-trimmed lawn.
The Triplex Rotary mower with rear discharge
feature is especially well-suited to rough, tall
and even damp grass, leaving it looking well
groomed.
The Egholm mowers are equipped with piano
wheels as standard which make the mower
follow the steering. This also avoids leaving
tracks on the lawn.,
The City Ranger 3070 Triplex Rotary mower 16-
24.000 m2 per hour. It simply races around the
lawn with a cutting width of 2.500 mm.
Useful tips
Never allow the radiator grille to become
clogged with grass. This reduces the cooling
effect.
The Triplex Rotary mower is designed to cut
up to one third of the grass height. Adjust the
mowing frequency hereafter.
Adjust the speed for the desired result – the
best result is achieved when you avoid driving
too fast.
Ensure the quick couplings are clean before
mounting the mower, as this protects the
hydraulic system.
