Husqvarna launches new remote-controlled front mower improving safety and reach

Husqvarna, the pioneer in smart commercial grounds care, is now making it possible to operate a commercial front mower from a distance by adding a remote control to its new P 524XR EFI mower.

 

Husqvarna’s ride-on mowers have been tried and tested over many years and enable users to mow a variety of spaces efficiently. However, there are locations where safety margins are lower for any type of vehicle, such as slopes and steep banks, especially when the grass is damp. Husqvarna’s new P 524XR EFI front mower solves that problem by allowing users to operate the front mower remotely from a safe ground.

 

Users can still operate the front mower in a traditional way when they want, simply by switching between the two modes quickly and seamlessly. The result is a front mower that can reach further and mow even more green space than before, thus avoiding the need for costly manual trimming and touch-ups, or investment in an additional mower dedicated to slopes.

 

The remote control has been designed to be intuitive, ergonomic and easy to use. By making a ride-on mower remote-controlled, users can still use it in a traditional way. With the new facelifted X model of the P 524 mower, they also get a reliable machine that has been perfected over many years and has now been improved even further and upgraded with additional features. This includes a new 137cm wide cutting deck for increased productivity, a digital user interface, and built-in Husqvarna Fleet Services™ connectivity. The P 524XR EFI front mower also retains the proven quality and features of Husqvarna’s other ride-on mowers, such as the articulated steering which makes it possible to operate in complex or narrow spaces where high maneuverability is required.

 

“The P 524XR EFI front mower is our most versatile front mower ever and gives users even more control and functionality. While it is ideal for mowing complex spaces that contain slopes or areas that are hard to reach, it is really a multi-purpose vehicle instead of just an out front mower. Users can attach a wide range of implements to use the vehicle for ground- and lawncare, cleaning, towing or even snow clearing”, says Hannah Cooper, Professional Segment Manager at Husqvarna UK.

 

The Kawasaki® EFI engines on selected models provide better performance and lower fuel consumption, resulting in a lower environmental impact. In addition to the new features, the model is based on Husqvarna’s reliable 500-series chassis with its characteristic articulated steering that simplifies mowing around trees, benches and other obstacles.

 

The three models in the P 524XR EFI series will go on sale in the second quarter of 2023. For more information on Husqvarna and its latest innovations, visit www.husqvarna.com/uk.
