Mower broom helps with ‘spring cleaning’

The MCT broom attachment for outfront mowers helps prepare yards for spring by cleaning up grass and leaf debris. MB Companies’ broom attachment features a 30-degree hydraulic angle change, a 25-inch brush diameter and 4- or 5-foot broom widths. Attachments are recommended for outfront mowers with mechanically driven mower decks with less than 25 horsepower.


New walk-behind mower from Ferris

The Ferris HydroDrive walk-behind mower features a 16-horsepower Vanguard engine with 48-inch cutting width. The mower has a dual path hydrostatic transmission system, and each drive wheel is individually fan-cooled and filtered. The dual hydro fluid reservoirs protect each hydro-system from contamination. Operators can set speed with the cruise control bar, and cutting height is adjustable between 11⁄2 and 41⁄2 inches.
