Grillo FD 450 Out Front Mower with High Hydraulic Grass Tipping

Grillo FD 450 Out Front Mower with High Hydraulic Grass Tipping

The Grillo FD 450 Out Front Mower with High Hydraulic Grass Tipping is powered by a Briggs and Stratton 7220 Professional series V-Twin engine.  This professional hydrostatic mower with front-mounted cutter deck has a grass-catcher capacity of 450 Litres that is capable of tipping the clippings out up to a height of 170 cm with an ejection of 45 cm.  

The cutting and high performance collection of this model are also outstanding due to the  innovative cutting system “Grillo Overblow” allows tremendous acceleration of the grass/air flow into the discharge chute considerably increasing its collection capability, even in damp,wet conditions whilst at the same time keeping its noise level of the whole cutting/collecting system extremley low.

The controls to adjust the cutting height, lift the cutter deck, raise and tip the grass-catcher are via an electrical push button.  The FD450s cutter deck is unique. It has twin counter-rotating blades (which are not timed) plus a small front blade.  It allows precise cutting around bushes or under low-positioned branches and therefore reduces the time spent using hand mowers to finish off these areas. The deck also has additional front and side reinforcements.
The blades drive belt is double backed ( not toothed): in the event of contact with unseen objects it should not suffer damage.

The Grillo FD 450 has a impressive turning circle of just 30cm which makes this a highly manoeuvrable machine.  The hydrostatic transmission is controlled by a pedal which is fitted with a damper to enable smooth operation for the user.  

The floating cutting deck ensures a perfect cut even on undulating ground. The rear pivoting axle, the tires with an anti-skid profile, allow, together with the pressure adjustment of the cutting deck on the ground, to follow with extreme precision any undulations, and therefore eliminate the possibility of scalping the grass.

Forward speed ranges from 0 to 11 km/h and is continuously adjustable. Taking care of your lawn will be a pleasure not a chore.  When necessary, the differential lock, operated via a pedal with automatic disengagement, allows greater traction and safety.  The cutter deck's wheels are solid and puncture-proof.The blades are automatically disengaged once the grass catcher is full. There is also the possibility to choose the “buzzer indicating” option that signals when the catcher is full.

The emptying of the grass catcher is performed via electrical push-buttons, easily reached from the driver's seat; the 2 independent hydraulic rams raise the grass catcher up to a height of 170 cm with a rear overhang of 45 cm allowing easy tipping.  Opening of the catcher rear door is automatic.
