Rapid REX
Rapid REX: New mountain mower for extreme steep slopes
The Rapid Rex has been developed substantially lighter once again than the existing ‘mountain cat’, the Rapid Swiss. The Rapid Rex is thus even more suitable for extreme steep slopes. Its low centre of gravity and hydrostatic drive make easy and safe mowing possible even in critical locations.
The Rex achieves hitherto unparalleled compactness for hydrostatically powered motor mowers. The near-axle position of the motor permits a large angle of repose and increases the bar support of the machine that weighs only 89 kg. The 54/52-mm attachment support can hold middle-cutting bars of 1.3 to 1.6m in width and communal bars of 1.22 and 1.42 m. The driving speed is regulated via a turning handle.
