MOWERS AND MORE | Commercial Riding Mowers BigDog's R-Series Power Bar BigDog's new R-Series Power Bar features another industry-changing innovation from Excel Industries. The Power Bar bridges the gap between traditional steering-wheeled mowers and twin-lever machines. This steering system allows users of any skill level to feel comfortable operating a zero-turn mower. The Power Bar line of mowers comes equipped with deck sizes from 48 to 60 inches and Kawasaki V-Twin engines. BigDog Mowers/Excel Industries, Inc. BOB-CAT Predator-Pro 37-hp. with digital fuel injection The latest BOB-CAT Predator-Pro zero-turn mower combines performance, power and efficiency. The Predator-Pro DFI is powered by a Kawasaki digital fuel injection (DFI) engine that utilizes an electronic governor system (E-Gov), making the unit capable of reacting to changing load conditions instantaneously while metering fuel to the engine precisely. This means that the Predator-Pro DFI never loses engine rpm — resulting in the highest possible level of mower performance, maintaining blade tip and ground speed as conditions change in the terrain or turf. The DFI system meters and monitors the fuel requirements, ensuring that the engine runs cleanly, efficiently, and at peak performance while squeezing out every drop of fuel economy.
