The C52KS and R54RKB models are now powered by a Subaru engine, resulting in high performance in tough mowing conditions, improved operation including easier starting and great reliability.

Suitable for mowing areas up to 2500m2, the R54RKB has a steel rear roller for a striped finish, variable speed, 54cm (21in) cutting width, Blade Brake Clutch, a robust cast aluminium deck and TurboStar fan-assisted mowing system to ensure a precision cut and efficient collection. In addition, the driveline of the R54RKB rear roller mower has been completely revised to increase its ease of use and durability. New sealing and drive components have undergone rigorous testing to ensure enhanced reliability.

The new R54RKB rear-roller mower costs €1550 including VAT.

The C52KS walk-behind mower now features a variable-speed drive, enabling the operator to cut or even mulch at the optimum speed (a mulching kit is optional). With a choice of speed ranges from 2.9 to 4.8kph, the C52KS easily adapts to all grass conditions. The improved transmission also provides smoother engagement and greater durability.The ergonomically designed soft-touch handlebar results in lower vibrations, which reduces pressure-related hand fatigue. The foldable handlebar, already familiar from the PRO 47V mower, makes transport and storage much easier. The new C52KS mower costs €1815 including VAT.
