MOWERS AND MORE | Commercial Walk-behind Mowers 2011 BOB-CAT mowers The 2011 line of BOB-CAT mowers, which includes commercial walk-behinds, residential zero-turns, and 3 levels of com- mercial zero-turn riders, is all new with fuel systems that meet 2011 EPA exhaust and evaporative emission requirements. The 2011 BOB-CAT walk-behind mower line includes Classic Gear-Drive (5-speed), Hydrostatic Drive, and Z-Control Hydro-Drive units in a variety of deck sizes. BOB-CAT/Schiller Grounds Care, Inc. Country Clipper Trek Hydro The Country Clipper Trek Hydro offers all the features Country Clipper is known for, including the exclusive patented stand-up deck that positions the deck vertically for easy maintenance and under-deck access. The Trek Hydro also incor- porates a productivity-boosting hydrostatic drive, a full-floating deck, convenient cutting-height adjustment, and 6-gallon fuel capacity to help operators get through jobs that much smoother. Twin tracking levers place ground speed and "on-the- go" tracking adjustment at the operator's fingertips, while cast-iron spindles and a heavy-gauge steel deck with front "bull-nose" reinforcement make the Trek Hydro virtually indestructible. Country Clipper Eastman SPX 21 Eastman's SPX 21 is engineered to meet the demanding needs of commercial lawn care professionals. Powered by a 6-hp. Kawasaki engine, this 21-inch mower is available in 3 models: SPX 21-Z (zone start, self propelled); SPX 21-B (blade brake clutch); and SPX 21-P (hand push, zone start). All 3 models possess excellent cutting and bagging capabili- ties; a cast-aluminum, hi-vacuum, rear-discharge deck with edge guards; a 3-speed, shift-on-the-fly, rear-wheel-drive transmission; four 9-inch-by-2.25-inch cast-aluminum wheels with replaceable rubber tires; a 1-inch-diameter, 1-piece steel, adjustable handle; and a 2.5-bushel-capacity, easy-lift, nylon-mesh bag with dust liner.
