Comprehensive choice of green maintenance technology
From light and compact Power Arms offering the best in manoeuvrability to the ultimate hedge and verge mowing combination, McConnel has a perfect machine for every sector of the green maintenance market.
PA8085T
For those seeking the very best in performance, the PA8085T is McConnel’s flagship machine offering 8.0m reach, high-performance 85-hp hydraulics, and a comprehensive choice of attachments, controls, and personalised build configurations.
Hand-crafted from super-strength Domex steel at McConnel’s award-winning Shropshire production facility, the PA8085T is both robust and reliable and has been designed for professional contractors.
Advanced features include:
-
POWERBOOST – increases arm extension speeds by three times for fast, responsive and intuitive control
-
POWERMATCH – automatically adjusts to match any tractor PTO speed from 540 to 1000 rpm for peak performance, efficiency, and protection.
-
Easy Drive System – McConnel’s innovative hands-free verge floatation system which automatically adjusts the position of the flailhead to the contours of the ground – reducing operator input and fatigue and increasing mowing speeds to up to 18 km/h
-
REVOLUTION - the world’s most advanced Power Arm control system allows full proportional control of up to eight different functions; features an ergonomic joystick for fingertip control of complex manoeuvres, and includes a high-resolution 5.5” colour monitor for at-a-glance information on active functions, warning alarms and service alerts
-
Functionality – McConnel’s huge choice of working attachments includes multisaws, cutter bars, rotary heads, and a ditch and grip cleaner, increasing the range and variety of services contractors can offer.
MERLIN XTREME OFFSET FLAIL MOWERS
McConnel Power Arms can also be used in combination with our professional range of offset verge mowers, enabling operators to increase the working width in a single pass. Merlin Xtreme Offset mowers can be mounted on the front or rear of a tractor and feature 120 degrees of head movement for effective verge and embankment mowing. A choice of cutting widths from 1.2m to 2.0m is available with cutting heights from 40mm to 155mm.
30-SERIES POWER ARMS
For those seeking lightness and manoeuvrability rather than power and performance, McConnel’s compact 30-series machines offer a choice of three different machines with reach from 3.4m to 4.3m.
Fuel-efficient and easy to master, 30-series Power Arms excel in tight spaces and benefit from a 1.0m supercut flailhead which delivers both a powerful cutting performance and an attractive finish.
Created especially for the amenities, ground-care and local government sectors, the machines excel in environments such as public parks, cemeteries and landscaped gardens and are compatible with low horsepower tractors and utility vehicles.
Packed with high-tech features such as parallel arm geometry, lift and angle float kits and hydraulic safety breakaway, McConnel’s 30-series is the most advanced compact Power Arm range in the world.
For those working in steep, hazardous, or restricted-access sites, McConnel offers its all-terrain remote control mower ROBOCUT.
Faster and more efficient than hand-strimming, ROBOCUT is easy to master, can tackle embankments as steep as 55 degrees, and has a 150m working range - improving safety by removing operators from the danger zone.
ROBOCUT comes with a choice of two models – the versatile original with a choice of six different attachments from snow blower to stump grinder, and the newly launched ROBOCUT Pure which is designed exclusively for mowing and comes with a 1.3m flailhead or a 1.5m rotary head.
