McConnel: Reach, reliability and power define new 65-series Power Arm

Created to meet the needs of farmers, contractors, and local authorities, McConnel’s new 65-series Power Arms feature a robust, heavy-duty design, powerful hydraulics and a high-spec feature set.
Four models are available offering high-performance, 65hp, totally independent hydraulics and a choice of reach of 5.5m, 6.0m, 6.5m and 7.0m.
Key features of the new machines include: a wide choice of high-performance cutting heads, including McConnel’s Supercut, MultiCut, and Omega flailheads – as well as TwinCut, the world’s first dual-rotor flailhead; McConnel’s Easy Drive System (EDS) comes with Revolution – delivering hands-free cruise control for verge-mowing – and an increase in working speeds from 4 km/hr up to 18 km/hr; a heavy-duty cast iron pump and a reinforced steel gearbox; a SoftStart rotor that reduces shock loading on start-up and increases the durability and lifespan of the machine; and a wide range of working attachments including Rotary Heads, Cutter Bars, Multi Saws, and a Ditch and Grip Cleaner.
The 65 Series has been designed to hit the sweet spot when it comes to reach. It fulfills the needs of most users with its choice of four different models from 5.5m to 7.0m. Meanwhile the high-performance 65hp hydraulics ensure the series has all the grunt to tackle everything from highway-verge mowing to hedge-cutting and vegetation clearance.
The 65 Series machines come with a choice of two advanced control systems: XTC and the state-of-the-art Revolution system. Optional extras available to enhance performance, safety and efficiency include EDS, the new TwinCut Flailhead and a range of different rotors, flails and cutting attachments.
There’s a choice of three-point linkage and five-point axle mounting, and the machines are compatible with tractors weighing 3,500kg and upwards with a minimum 
of 65hp horsepower.
The 65 Series is priced from £23,600 (price correct at April 2014).
