Woods Equipment is renowned for its commitment to producing high-quality agricultural machinery, and the SS series of rotary finish mowers is no exception. The SS96-2, SS108-2, and SS84-2 models reflect the brand's dedication to performance and efficiency, making them an optimal choice for maintaining lawns, parks, and golf courses.

The SS96-2 features a cutting width of 96 inches, providing an efficient mowing solution for larger properties. It incorporates a robust, heavy-duty construction that ensures durability and longevity. The design includes three cutting decks, which promote an even cut and help in managing a variety of grass types. With a reliable two-blade system on each deck, the mower delivers a clean, professional finish, while the adjustable mower heights allow operators to tailor the cut to their specific needs.

The SS108-2 takes things a step further with an impressive 108-inch cutting width, making it suitable for vast expanses of terrain. This model features advanced technologies such as the three-point hitch system, which simplifies connection to tractors and allows for easy maneuverability across uneven ground. Similar to the SS96-2, it utilizes three blades per deck, making quick work of tall grass and thick underbrush. Additionally, this model includes a shielded design to minimize debris pickup and promote operator safety.

For those looking for a more compact choice, the SS84-2 with an 84-inch width is ideal for smaller properties or tighter spaces. Despite its size, the SS84-2 does not compromise on power or performance. It features the same three-blade system and adjustable height settings, ensuring a quality cut. The compact size facilitates easier navigation through tight spots, making it a versatile addition to any landscaping toolkit.

Another key characteristic of these rotary finish mowers is their emphasis on operator comfort.
