Ride-on productivity in a compact footprint

A narrow rider for lawns that have outgrown a walk-behind mower.

With a 61cm cutting width, the DC24-4 is only modestly wider than a large pedestrian mower while adding seated operation, powered travel and three clipping-management options. It is designed for properties where a conventional tractor would be unnecessarily large.

01
Compact access

The 61cm deck is intended for lawns and access routes that cannot comfortably accommodate a full-size lawn tractor.

02
Manual speed selection

Four forward ratios and reverse allow the operator to match travel speed to grass length and terrain.

03
Turf-conscious handling

Wide turf tyres and relatively low machine weight are designed to reduce marking on delicate surfaces.

Engineering details

Operator controls and working hardware in close view.

The connected catalog contains fourteen product-specific images covering controls, drive hardware, engine and clipping systems.

Power unit

224cc OHV engine

The listed 6hp four-stroke engine provides the output required for the compact ride-on format.

Working modes

Adapt the deck to maintained grass or rougher growth.

Use collection when appearance matters, side discharge for longer growth or mulching when returning fine material to the turf is appropriate.

01
Rear collection

Remove clippings from maintained lawns for a cleaner result.

02
Side discharge

Eject longer material away from the deck when collection is inefficient.

03
Mulching

Recycle fine clippings when the lawn is cut regularly and conditions are dry enough.
