Gianni Ferrari Mower PG /PG XPRO The PG/SR range is made up of some of Gianni Ferrari’s most well-known and widely used multi-function work machines, in 3 main versions: PG, PG XPRO and SR XPRO (without collector). Versatility and manoeuvrability are the winning characteristics that bring the range onto different stages such as private gardens, school gardens and camp sites, without forgetting major sporting facilities with natural or synthetic grass. Compact dimensions, performance and reliability are what make PG/SR the crucial ally of numerous municipalities, optimising the care and cleaning tasks of public parks and gardens and moving easily on roundabouts, sidewalks and traffic islands. Not even the harshest conditions create an insurmountable obstacle for PG/SR, which can get around even in very high, overgrown grass in large rural areas, snowdrifts and ice formation in open spaces, cycle lanes and car parks. MULTI-FUNCTION Quick access to the front-mounted attachments, and their outstanding interchangeability, are two significant plus factors that enable the PG/SR range to play a leading role in 4 different sectors (agriculture, gardening, cleaning and snow) with top comfort and performance, whether it’s a question of cutting grass or removing litter, cans and dry leaves, or clearing snowdrifts at the sides of roads and cycle lanes. Characteristics that, at the same time, accentuate the excellent versatility not only of these models but of the whole selection of Gianni Ferrari multifunction vehicles. The latest Smart System patent on our next generation flail mower – which allows the blades (Y, spoon and vertical) to be changed and combined on-site in less than 15 minutes thanks to the innovative magnet system – boosts the already considerable number of attachments for the PG/SR, and ensures that the economic investment is countered by the notable advantage of being able to use the same machine throughout the whole year. The GF3x1 Plus flail mowers with collection are fitted with a reinforced rotor with magnetic blade-locking pins that are impossible to move even if they accidentally come into contact with stones or large bushes. A small hydraulic cylinder, activated by means of a handy button (or an equally practical lever in the manual version), enables perfect mulching and unloading onto the ground; these components, in fact, quickly move a sheet metal guard that isolates or links the cutting rotor area and the area of the collection screw conveyor. BUILT-IN COLLECTION SYSTEM 4 The PG models are designed as multi-function collection machines. That’s why they have a built-in loading system: the powerful suction turbine, made of a hard-wearing resistant material, and the collection tube,are an integral part of the power unit. This solution makes the PG the only one of its kind on the market, for various reasons: the absence of protruding side parts in the form of external collection tubes means it’s highly compact, with unbeatable manoeuvrability even in narrow spaces, all to the benefit of productivity; the machine is more stable and balanced, thanks to the better positioning of the centre of gravity; the collection procedure is more effective because the cut grass has to travel a shorter distance so there’s less risk of losing the load; there is no cutting waste left on the lawn; no clogging of the turbine and collection tube; exceptional versatility of the machine, as the turbine and collector are always ready to be used with different types of attachment. Complete technological innovation on the XPRO version, thanks to the possibility to COUPLE and DECOUPLE the suction turbine (regardless of the PTO) as required, for the various attachments mounted on the machine. This has been made possible by special electric actuators commanded from an interface button on the new dashboard on the machine. CUTTING SYSTEM All the cutting devices are equipped with solid run-flat rubber wheels and discs with a twin pair of retractable anti-collision blades that absorb any knocks, safeguarding the transmission from impact with foreign bodies on the ground. The twin cutters prevent the accumulation of grass and soil debris in the upper inside part of the lawn mower body, maintaining an even cutting quality throughout the task and reducing stoppages to clean the equipment. The same system ensures that the cut material is very finely shredded, improving collection and compaction in the collector. All the decks are fitted with a transmission with mechanical reducers in ductile cast iron with oil-bath conical helicoidal gears, for a unique level of robustness and reliability. The lawn mower decks are of the floating type so they adapt perfectly to the slopes in the ground, ensuring precise cutting at all times. On the 126 and 130 cm decks, the cutting height can be adjusted very quickly with the SA™ system, involving a handy manual spring lever positioned directly on the upper part of the deck. COLLECTOR The high-capacity collector is made of polymeric anti-collision material and is fitted with: a screen that regulates the air flow during the collection and can easily be removed for cleaning; a deflector and a motorised rotary load distributor to evenly distribute and compress the grass, exploiting the entire loading space; a “full collector” buzzer, to prevent it from getting clogged. Every PG model is available with an elevator for high unloading. Thanks to a hydraulically activated parallelogram system, the cut grass can be unloaded at a height of up to 205 cm into trailers of any size. An exclusive filter with a self-cleaning function using an electric motor every time the suction turbine is deactivated, minimises the dispersion of dust and materials collected and is recommended as an optional for the sweeper with collection. DRIVER’S SEAT The driver’s seat has been carefully designed to ensure the best comfort for the operator, to avoid fatigue even after many hours of working. In the latest XPRO version, a painstaking study of the details has led to a 100% makeover of the driving area of the machine, characterised by a modern design and eye-catching lines that visibly widen the space and allow the driver to get on and off the machine easily from both sides. In all the versions, the steering column height can be adjusted and the soft steering wheel has an ergonomic form and is combined with a knob. Power steering ensures light, precise movements. To adapt to the height and weight of any operator, the PG has a COMFORT SEAT complete with armrests as standard, with pneumatic spring suspension (with adjustable height and rigidity) and heat seating available as optionals. The PG/SR XPRO versions also have a COMFORT SEAT, whereas the 280DW models are fitted with the COMFORT PLUS version as standard. On the basic version, all the commands are distributed to the right and left of the driver’s seat for easy access, with the hydraulic distributor levers protected from any risk of accidental activation. On the XPRO version on the other hand, the more highly stylised steering column has LED lights. There’s a document pocket and cup holder to the operator’s left, and the new, simplified dashboard on the right with the accelerator, two hydraulic levers (with up to 8 functions), the innovative hydraulic function lock and the suction turbine on/off button. To complete the fittings, a handy USB port for connecting any multimedia device with a that type of coupling, and another cup holder. TRANSMISSION The hydrostatic transmission system is highly efficient thanks to the piston-operated hydraulic motor, and guarantees excellent performance. In difficult conditions such as rough ground, slopes or poor grip, the mechanical differential ensures that all the available axle torque is transmitted to the wheel for better grip and excellent traction at all times. On all the machines, the front axle consists of a differential unit that connects two oil-bath gear reducers to transmit the drive to the wheels. The petrol versions of the PG range come with 2 drive wheels only, but the number increases to 4 on the diesel versions with bigger engines (including the SR XPRO). The 4 drive wheels are accompanied by the exclusive patented HTC™ device (Hydrostatic Traction Control) that guarantees invaluable benefits: it prevents the steering wheels from damaging the lawn when steering, eliminating skids caused by the hauling effect; it guarantees permanent traction on the 4 wheels, which means safety for the operator. This aspect is something that distinguishes us from the other products on the market which, during steering, have to deactivate the traction on one or two wheels, in practice losing the 4WD advantage that ensures greater safety. The XPRO version has a twin pedal that regulates forward and reverse movement, while the single pedal of the basic version activates movement in both directions in a quick, user-friendly manner. ENGINES The PG/SR range is fitted with professional Briggs & Stratton twin-cylinder petrol engines and Kubota 3-cylinder diesel engines. Both types fall within Stage V (low emissions), fully respecting anti-pollution legislation. The petrol engines are equipped with an air filter with two filtering elements and a forced lubrication system with an oil filter, to enhance both protection and working life. For top performance, the diesel engines can count on liquid cooling. The water/oil radiator, with its anti-clogging fin, is generously proportioned and ensures notable heat exchange even in heavy duty conditions, thus prolonging the lifespan of the engine, oil and hydraulic components. In this case, the filtering system is made up of a self-cleaning cyclonic pre-filter. The brand new PG 333W BFuel model with a Kubota LPG/petrol engine is another addition to the range. This particular combination, offered by very few others on the market, aims to meet what has now become a significant need to optimise work costs due to the ever increasing diesel prices. The new version boasts two tanks – 35L (LPG) and 12L (petrol) – to cover the entire working day of a maintenance operator, offering notable savings during transit and when unloading the full collector thanks to the use of LPG alone, yet at the same time ensuring outstanding productivity thanks to the powerful petrol engine. Another factor that shouldn’t be underestimated is the possibility to enter shared public and private work areas, currently offlimits to diesel engines. The same model is also available with a Kubota petrol engine only. Eco-Drive™ The diesel models have an Eco-Drive™ selector for more efficient and practical use. In Eco-Drive mode, the engine, PTO and collection turbine function at reduced speed to save on fuel and reduce the noise level. In heavy duty work situations on the other hand, the same components will work at maximum speed when Boost mode is selected.
