Special
gear reduction mechanisms on the wheel axles enable the large 22”
diameter tires to achieve ground speeds ideal for both primary and secondary
tillage.
Like the other models
in our Professional Series, the 948 has differential drive -- the ability
of one tractor wheel to turn faster or slower than the other. This provides
“turn-on-a-dime” maneuverability and is a virtual must if
you want to mow around individual trees and/or get close to things. Differential
drive makes all turning easy, whether it’s the tiller at the end
of your row, the snow thrower at the end of the driveway, etc.
The model 948 features
three working speeds for both front-and rear-mount attachments. Its 13HP
Honda engine provides power-to-spare for all our rotary brush mowers,
in addition to the sickle bar mowers. Other attachments include the 28”
snow thrower, chipper/shredder, 40” sweeper, and dozer blade.
Other 948 features
include:
- an 80lb. weight collar that must be removed when using most front-mount
attachments.
- a fast transport speed with either the transport sulky or utility trailer
- differential lockout to provide positive traction on demand;
- individual wheel brakes for turning and parking;
- easy-to-engage, shuttle-type reverse;
- a separate control to turn your implement on-and-off, independently
of the wheels; and
- anti-vibe handlebars that instantly adjust both vertically and side-to-side.
