Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners. This Grooming Mower has been
designed with care and built by skilled workers using
quality materials. Proper assembly, maintenance, and
safe operating practices will help you get years of
satisfactory use from this machine.
Application
The Land Pride FDR16 Rear Discharge Grooming
mowers are designed and built to provide high
productivity and excellent cutting quality on well
maintained lawn and turf surfaces. These mowers are
adapted for category 1 attachment and operation on
15-30 hp compact utility tractors. They are offered with
48", 60", and 72" rear discharge cutting decks, which
makes them well suited to meet the mowing needs of
home and estate owners alike. These rear discharge
cutting decks will provide a superb quality of cut and
superior clipping distribution when grass is cut on a
frequent basis and ground conditions are not wet.
See "Specifications & Capacities" on page 27 and
"Features & Benefits" on page 28 for additional
