Summary
The Hydro 80 cuts and collects both long and short grass, without clogging.
But this little workhorse does much more: for non-collection there is side discharge or rear ejection for longer grass. If you want a mulching mower – Hydro 80 does that too.
With its quality finish, lawns look immaculate – but this versatile ride-on is equally at home in a paddock, orchard or rough grass. Add to that its compact dimensions, ease of use, hydrostatic drive and powerful 15hp twin-cylinder KAWASAKI engine
Collecting
Mower deck
The Hydro 80’s success lies in its specially contoured deck which lifts and blows the clippings directly into the rear collector, without clogging. On uneven ground, anti-scalp rollers keep the blades out of trouble. It has an 80cm cutting width with an electromagnetic clutch and blade brake as an integral part of the system.
Built-in grassbox
The integrated 240-litre grassbox is emptied without leaving the driving position. For-ease-of-use the system is hydraulically assisted.
Sound alarm
A buzzer sounds when the large capacity grassbox is full.
Cutting in long grass
Cut and drop
For meadows, long grass or other cut and drop applications, simply remove the base of the grassbox.
Windrowing
A side deflector (MD 80) allows the Hydro 80 to windrow cut grass. This option is often used in long grass.
Hydro 80 as a mulching mower
Efficient, environmentally-friendly mowing
An optional mulching kit (MU 80) quickly and efficiently recycles clippings into fine particles before returning them to the turf to decompose naturally. This method requires more frequent mowing and is particularly useful in drier periods when the grass grows slowly.
Ease-of-use
Through step design makes getting on an off the Hydro 80 easy. The out-front driving position ensures excellent all-round visibility.
Fingertip control
With its high-backed suspension seat; smooth steering and wheel with guiding knob; ergonomic design plus easy-to-reach controls, driving is easy.
Controls
Cutting height adjustment and emptying the grass collector are carried out from the driving seat. The steering console is fitted with a timer and rev counter.
Smooth operation
The built-in shock absorber system and hydrostatic transmission give a smooth ride over a wide range of mowing speeds and you can cut in reverse as well !
Transmission
Work at the speed you want. Reverse. Stop immediately:
No gears to change, the foot-controlled hydrostatic transmission takes care of everything.
Simple and easy-to-use
Attention to detail
The Hydro 80 is fitted with front lighting and a horn, controlled from the console.
Cleaning
A hose point makes it easy to clean underneath the deck.
Compact design
Measuring 1.98m x 0.82m wide, hydro 80 is easily transported in a truck or trailer. It can pass through most gateways and its tight turning circle makes it ideal for small or awkward areas. It mows close to walls and fences and is highly manoeuvrable.
