POST-SHOW RECAP
Pro-Stance Ultra features: A wide, curved operator pad extending below knee height eliminates the potential for knee impact. 15-inch caster wheels. An adjustable platform accommodates a variety of operators. The pitched, forward-facing controls are angled to reduce wrist strain. A 16-gallon fuel tank. A trio of Gravely’ s new commercial spindles are cast from cold-forged aluminum, serviceable, and more resilient to moisture penetration and debris ingestion.
The Pro-Stance Ultra also carries over the proprietary deck-lift assist pedal from the existing Pro-Stance platform. This feature allows the operator to float the deck over roots and ruts without the need to remove their hands from the controls and it makes changing cutting height easier.
It’ s powered exclusively by 35- and 38.5-horsepower Kawasaki FX1000 and FX1000 EFI engines, and comes with a pair of Parker HTG integrated transaxles to move the machine to a top speed of 12.5 mph.
HYDRO-GEAR SMARTEC HYBRID Hydro-Gear introduced the Smartec Hybrid Commercial ZT system, which combines the power and reliability of an electric machine with the technology of traditional gas machines. Hydro-Gear partnered with Kawasaki to offer the FT730V EFI engine in this system.
The system can deliver 40 hp. to deck so the blade speed remains constant regardless of the deck load. The Smartec Hybrid ZT Commercial system relies on the patented 3-in-1 hybrid deck motor, which acts like a mechanical deck spindle, electric deck motor or generator depending on the load and battery charge status.
With three operating modes to choose from( EV, Hybrid, Power), the user can select the most appropriate for the job. No worries if you forget to plug it in overnight, just start the day in Hybrid or Power Mode and charge the battery while you work.
