Hillside Mower Levels Itself On Steep Slopes
 ✖  |
The 72LC hillside mower from Harper is built for rough terrain, easily handling slopes of up to 34 degrees. While the mower hugs the slope, the auto-leveling system keeps the engine and control platform upright. When the mower reaches the crest of a hill or the sides of a ditch, the two 36-in. deck halves float independently.
“Most of our sales are to governmental agencies or contractors,” says Byron Riesen, Harper Industries. “It’s ideal for use on levees, dams and other water retention structures, as well as ditches and overpasses. Landfill operators are another good market, as well as airports with sound barriers.”
The mower is powered by a 30.2 hp Yanmar liquid-cooled diesel. Blades are hydraulically-driven with no belts or gearboxes. The Parker wheel motor ground drive is also hydraulic with a hydrostatic transmission.
The 72LC list price is $44,000. “Our dealer network sometimes takes in used machines on trade,” notes Riesen. “Visit our website or give us a call for the closest dealer, including two in Canada.”
