The intake duct connecting the front attachment to the fan is made of strong steel instead of plastic for long life. The powerful vacuum fan has a large diameter, producing a high input of air at low rpm resulting in low noise level. The vacuum fan is equipped with 6 curved rotor blades that are easily changed in case of damage or wear.

The collector is made of high strength polyethylene, equipped with a filter, a self locking back door, a chute and buzzer warning when the container is full. The grass filter is composed of easily removable metal mesh with plastic protection reducing cleaning time. The rear door automatically opens when the collector is tipped. An efficient and strong hydraulic high-lift dump up to 220 cm (optional) allows the operator to easily and rapidly discharge the cut grass directly into a truck or a trailer. All these features drastically reduce your cutting and tipping time.

Two large disk brakes positioned on the axle reduction gear case give positive and safe braking even on steep slopes.

Gianni Ferrari offers the most advanced engines on the market: Kubota 3 or 4 cylinder for maximum reliability, power and low noise level in full compliance with the latest regulations.

Turbo 1 is provided with step up drive hydrostatic transmission with variable pump and hydro motor. Front axle with differential lock.

The double hydrostatic transmission is provided by a system composed of a variable displacement hydraulic pump with powerful drive that controls two hydraulic motors, one per axle. Each hydraulic motor is installed on a differential gear connecting two gear drives in an oil bath that transmits motion to each wheel via a gear reduction system for greater torque. The system is fixed on a strong chassis manufactured of solid 20 mm thick steel. The system is extremely safe and powerful, and enables the machine to easily climb the most difficult slopes. The differential gear on the front axle is equipped with a differential lock to further improve the traction of the machine. The rear drive axle differentiates itself from traditional steering wheel axles by the absence of a steering universal joint, allowing a tighter steering angle. A further patented device that increases the steering angle comprises an automatic proportional control of the front axle. Therefore the machine can steer with a turning radius of only 60 cm! The machine has an extremely low centre of gravity enabling it to go across a slope without the fear of tipping over.

The driver’s seat is designed to be easy on the operator even after many hours of work. The steering column tilts, the steering wheel is ergonomically designed with soft grip and knob. The power steering is light and precise. A single pedal quickly and intuitively controls forward and reverse for ease of use. To adapt to the size and weight of each operator the seat is adjustable in depth and the seat springing is adjustable for height and stiffness. All controls are easily accessible and the hydraulic distributor levers are protected against accidental operation. In the diesel models a display provides information on the machine (hour meter, engine coolant temperature, fuel level, etc.). and diagnostics for the safety systems and system faults.

Since this is a highly professional machine, intended for extended use during day time, particular attention has been paid to the operator’s seat and control ergonomics to give the driver maximum comfort and safety. The controls for the engine, the blade engagement and the hydraulic devices (deck lift, collector emptying and lifting) are all located near the operator’s right hand and are all easily accessible. Warning lights and level gauges are located on the steering console arm. The tilt adjustable steering arm always allows the correct drive position to be achieved by the operator and it is extremely comfortable. Access to the seat is unhindered as there are no obstacles between the steering wheel, seat and foot-platform. The power steering has its own hydraulic pump that controls a double action steering ram and also acts as a connection bar to the steering hubs. The foot-platform is mounted on isomounts and is fully adjustable to the vertical position allowing the mower deck to be safely tilted via hydraulic power to vertical. The seat is adjustable in various positions for better comfort. 3 heights, full slide, adjustable back and armrests plus weight adjustment from 50 to 130 kg. If requested is available a heated seat model.

It offers a complete driver protection in case of a machine roll over. The structure comes complete with safety seat belts.

It provides sun and rain protection. It also protects driver from branches when working under trees.

An aluminum dump body can equip a mower without the collection system, and be very useful for transport of sand, debris, tools or other material.
