Available in Australia through Agrigarden, the Series 10 all wheel drive climbing mowers excel in areas where most conventional ride-on mowers fear to tread.
Released in two versions the Grillo 10 Series offers four-wheel drive together with higher ground clearance, oscillating front axles, differential locks and wider decks.
Key benefits are a low centre of gravity together with smaller turn radius allowing mowing in difficult terrain and making operator safety a key issue.
New features include an adjustable Grammer seat mounted on a suspended platform controlled by suspension struts which is standard on the larger of the two models.
Another feature is the added protection by a foldable roll-over bar.
The Grillo Series 10 is also supplied with twin LED headlights to extend mowing hours.
Both models are fitted with Briggs & Stratton Intek four stroke engines - the Climber 10.22 model is powered by the 16 kilowatt Intek 7220 engine with a hydrostatic four-wheel drive transmission and a 93 centimetre cutting deck.
The mowing deck has a electromagnetic clutch with blade brake to ensure a long belt and uses long life quick change reversible blades with a stepless cutting height adjustment.
Rear wheel parking brakes and a differential lock add to the stability while the 13-litre capacity fuel tank provides a long operating time between refills.
The Grillo 10.27 uses the 19kW Intek 8270 Commercial series engine which has the added feature of a cyclonic air filter making this model ideal for dusty environments.
It offers a slightly wider 98cm mower deck.
Both models have the common transmission, safety, comfort and tight turning radius features.
