What is the advantage of a mower that can travel at speeds of up to 24 mph and what keeps it from jackknifing when operating at high speeds?
In the mowing mode, the RoadMaster® offers great efficiency by cutting rough terrain at up to 10 mph. When the job is finished, the operator can put this tough mower in its high speed range and travel safely at up to 24 mph. This capability reduces the need to trailer the mower from one location to another and speeds up completion of the mowing process. On the RoadMaster®, a special mechanism allows the optional Rear Towed Cutter to be hitched directly to the drive wheel’s axle, preventing jackknifing. Dangerous loss of control and jackknifing often occurs with competitive machines, because the towed cutter is attached to a tongue that protrudes behind the mower.
