The Spider is a remote-controlled self-propelled mower for the maintenance of steeply sloping areas such as embankments, roadsides and hillsides; areas that are otherwise typically maintained by teams of brush-cutter operators or tractor-powered reach mowers. Although referred to as a mower, ?it performs more like a remote-control slasher?, is a regular comment from those attending demonstrations. It capable of cutting waist-high growth, thick and wet kikuyu, weeds and small shrubs and regrowth. The Spider Mower cuts slopes up to 40 degrees with its 4-wheel drive lugged tyres, and up to 55-degree slopes with its optional winch system. - Kawasaki FS 541V Vertical crankshaft V-twin air-cooled 4 stroke 2-cylinder engine, producing 18 hp at 3600 rpm - The engine runs on standard unleaded or premium 95 octane unleaded for maximum performance - Alloy construction fits into the overall Spider design philosophy of light weight package for optimal power to weight ratio - Electronic spark ignition for reliable starting and performance - Pressurised lubrication system for long life on slope conditions - Dual element air cleaner and dual barrel carburettor with fuel shut-off solenoid - Rotating grass screen to assist effective engine air-cooling - Cast iron cylinder liners - Separate choke and throttle controls for easier starting - Electric starter with a 12-volt on-board battery and electrical system - 12 litre fuel tank capacity providing between 3 & 5 operating hours depending on slope and conditions - The deck body and super structure is made from aluminium alloy to obtain minimum overall weight of 288kg - The vertical engine crankshaft is coupled to an electric clutch for engagement/disengagement of the belt driven cutting blade - The clutch unit incorporates a brake device to stop blade rotation on disengagement - Cutting is done by 4 single mulching blade 780mm long (31 inches) - Overall cutting width is 850mm (34 inches) - The mulching blade is set well within the deck body to minimise the ejection of grass and debris during mowing. The blade is thick hard blade steel. - A hydrostatic Sauer Danfoss drive system provides continuously variable travel speed in two speed ranges (turtle and rabbit modes) from 0 to 7 km/h, in forward and reverse - All 4 wheels are driven by the hydraulic motors. All speed, steering and direction controls are located on the operator's wireless remote control - Steering is 360 degrees on all 4 wheels without lock-to-lock limits - Tyres are lugged 16x6.5x8 tube tyres - The Spider Mower can cut on slopes up to 40 degrees under its own wheel drive - Beyond these angles, the optional winch system must be utilised to ensure machine stability and safety - The normal steering mode is referred to as the ``dancing`` step and is the mode normally used for mowing. In this mode all 4 wheels turn at the same time - Other than the clearing of an Emergency-Stop and engagement of winch operation; all operator controls are performed through the wireless remote-control station - The controller comes with a belt strap and is normally strapped to the operator as two-hand operation is required - If the controller is dropped or all hands released, the controls revert to the neutral position and the Spider mower stops driving - Controls include: engine start, stop and rpm; E-stop, forward/reverse speed control, steering controls, deck engagement/disengagement, height control OPTIONS - Integrated Winch System - The winch is hydraulically powered and integrated with the drive system - At extreme angles, the winch system provides machine stability, traction and prevents rollover - The integrated winch control is automatically synchronised with the drive wheel control, and does not require any additional operator controls - The winch also maintains the engine orientation to ensure engine lubrication N.B.
