IPSWICH, U.K. - Ransomes Jacobsen Limited, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company and part of the Textron Specialized Vehicles business, announces the Ransomes MP670 Wide Area Commercial Rotary Mower. The Ransomes MP670 is a versatile mowing solution designed to efficiently maintain expansive turf areas, delivering enhanced productivity, performance and operator comfort for municipalities, contractors, sports facilities and other large-area turf maintenance operations.
The MP670 combines flexible cutting configurations, advanced traction capabilities and intuitive controls to help operators maximize productivity across a wide range of applications. The MP670 features three individually controlled rotary decks that allow operators to adapt the machine to varying mowing environments, from large municipal fields and sports complexes to narrower areas where full-width mowing is not required. Available cutting widths of up to 4.39 meters (173 inches) and cutting capacities of up to 5.7 hectares per hour (14 acres per hour) help operators efficiently maintain large turf areas while delivering a consistent finish. The MP670 features a transport width of only 1.72 meters (68 inches), allowing it to move nimbly through large campuses and complexes. Direct-drive hydraulic decks reduce maintenance requirements and provide reliable performance across a variety of operating conditions.
At the heart of the MP670 is a 48.6 kW (65.2 hp) Kubota turbo diesel engine paired with the SureTrac hydrostatic four-wheel-drive traction system, providing the power and traction needed for demanding commercial mowing applications.
Operator comfort is central to the MP670's design. The machine features an ISO-mounted operator platform with a full-suspension high-backed seat, ergonomic controls, hydraulic power steering and cruise control, and a full-color display that provides key operating information, diagnostics and machine settings. An available climate-controlled operator cab with SureAir air conditioning and heating further enhances operator comfort throughout long workdays and in changing weather conditions.
To help operators work confidently in a variety of conditions, the MP670 incorporates Ransomes' Tilt Sensor Technology, which helps maintain safe working angles on slopes.
