Orec Rough Cut Brush Mowers

Combining a brutal brushcutting blade with a traction-maximising differential-lock, this premium commercial-duty machine from Japanese landscaping specialists Orec is the perfect tool for heavy-duty vegetation clearance on sloping ground. It comes powered by a premium-grade 163cc Honda four-stroke overhead-valve engine with automatic decompression for low-effort recoil-type starts; and it boasts a reverse gear and three forward speeds, so manoeuvrability and flexibility-of-use are assured. Adjustable handlebars work to enhance comfort for users of any stature; while a stamped-steel deck brings rock-solid durability.

Capable of operating on slopes up to 45˚, the Orec Spider SP1000 will enable the operator to clear steep verges and ditch banks that would be too severe to work on safely with a handheld brushcutter (it’s also suitable for flat-ground use). It’s fitted with a rugged steel cutter-deck that’s been equipped with two-blades so as to facilitate the successful mowing of high grass and weeds; and it's powered by an efficient 98cc Mitsubishi four-stroke overhead-valve engine that’s characterised by its reliability, low fuel-consumption and low-noise operation. This model’s slope-work credentials are further enhanced by its four-stage telescopic handlebar. Weighs 61kg.

With its powerful 196cc Honda GX-Series OHV engine driving a series of aggressive flail-type blades, the Orec HR531 will devour the sort of dense, overgrown grass and scrub that would defeat a conventional mower or handheld brushcutter. High-specification features include independent wheel-drives for easy manoeuvrability; pneumatic, tractor-style wheels for all-terrain traction; and a height-adjustable handlebar that can be set-up to suit any operator. This model cuts up to 100mm and has a sizeable 52cm working-width.

Estate managers and commercial contractors looking to maintain verges, meadows and steeply sloping grassed-areas should take a good look at this unforgiving commercial-duty flail mower from Orec. Its very high-powered 270cc Honda engine drives a series of flail-blades that will devour dense grass and other well-established vegetation without problem; while its four-speed transmission (inc. reverse) aids manoeuvrability and provides a suitable speed for every application. As with all Orec products, this machine is aimed at the serious professional user.

A brutal machine offering unsurpassed build-quality and manifold premium features, the Japanese-built Orec HR802 is targeted at the top end of the commercial-use market. It’s equipped with a series of flail-hammer blades designed to take down the most challenging undergrowth the professional contractor is likely to encounter; and it’s driven by a very high-powered 10hp (286cc) Kawasaki OHV engine that will prove exceptionally reliable, even when continuously exposed to the rigours of day-in, day-out commercial use. Clutch-type steering and a four-speed transmission confer superior manoeuvrability; while an expansive 80cm width-of-cut ensures the speedy completion of large-scale clearance tasks.

Designed, engineered and built in Japan to the highest possible standards, this all-terrain ride-on brushcutter from Orec will make short work of the sort of heavy-duty scrub- and grass-clearance applications that are so commonly taken-on by orchard-keepers, local-authority workers and other landscape professionals. Its low stance combines with its wide-track and diff-lock to ensure steep inclines can be negotiated in safety; while its smooth hydrostatic drive confers the sort of intuitive manoeuvrability you just can’t get from a stop-and-shift manual transmission. The Orec Rabbit RM88 has a generous 88cm working-width for a fast cut over large areas; and has been equipped with a very high-powered 479cc Briggs & Stratton V-Twin engine.
