Employing many of the high-end engineering solutions and premium features found on Oleo-Mac’s professional machines, this compact and easy-handling rear-discharge lawn tractor from the leading Italian manufacturer is a fantastic performer, whether you’re mowing or towing.

Under its sleek bonnet is a high-capacity 452cc Emak K1600 AVD engine, which employs Emak’s overhead-valve technology, which reduces toxic exhaust emissions and keeps fuel costs to a minimum. An integrated anti-vibration system provides a more comfortable, less tiring drive, and lessens wear on critical parts.

The nimble Oleo-Mac OM84/14.5KH Lawn Tractor has a foot-pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission, so you won’t have to come to a halt every time you want to adjust your ground speed, as you would with a lesser manual-drive lawn tractor. Speed variation is linear, enabling you to smoothly and safely negotiate trees, landscaping and other common garden obstacles.

Reinforced parts, including screens, blade supports, bearings and bumper all work to maximise durability in the face of regular, heavy-duty use; a padded, high-back seat – adjustable to suit the operator – provides essential lumbar support.

Also offered is a variable height-of-cut (25-80mm), controlled by a handy lever positioned directly to the driver’s left-hand side; and a time saving mulching function, which can be used if you’re working on neat, well-maintained areas.

This model comes with a capacious 290-litre grassbag and has a 92cm-wide twin-blade deck; a combination that makes it a great choice for those looking-after a lawn or rough-grass area around 4000m2.
