Built not to a price point, but instead to simply get the toughest undergrowth-clearances job done with the minimum of fuss, the Orec HR622 Pedestrian Flail Mower is aimed at local authorities; professional landscapers; and domestic users maintaining expansive grounds.

Driving it is an impressively powerful and reliable Honda GX270 engine; an air-cooled four-stroke OHV unit with a beefy 6.8hp power-rating and a substantial 270cc cylinder-displacement.

Premium engine features include a decompression-valve for low-effort pull-starts; a cast-iron cylinder sleeve for durability and superior compression; and a large-capacity fuel-tank (5.3 litres) that combines with the fuel-efficient overhead-valve design to ensure extended run-times between breaks to top-up.

Thanks to its series of 38 heavy-duty flail blades, the Orec HR662 will take shoulder-high grass; weeds; and scrub in its stride.

Its four-speed gearbox (3 + 1) provides a forward speed for every eventuality and ensures you’ll have no trouble backing-out of tight spots; while its differential lock means you can summon-up plenty more traction when conditions demand it.

The Orec HR662 has a relatively compact 65cm working-width and a side-clutch steering system, so it can be manoeuvred with ease around and between obstacles.

It has an infinitely-variable cutting-height (20 - 80mm), so the blade position can be set with the utmost accuracy; and it’s built around a tubular-steel frame confers the strength and durability that commercial contractors deem essential.
