PR2572, PR2596 specifications

Land Pride PR2596 and PR2572 are premier models in the Land Pride product line, known for their exceptional performance and durability in the field of agricultural and landscaping equipment. These finishing mowers are designed to meet the demands of professionals looking for high-quality results with ease of use and reliability.

One of the standout features of the PR2596 and PR2572 is their cutting width. The PR2596 boasts a generous 96-inch cutting width, while the PR2572 offers a more compact 72-inch option. This versatility allows operators to tackle various mowing tasks, from large commercial properties to smaller residential lawns, ensuring a clean and precise cut every time. The mowers are equipped with a floating deck that follows the contours of the ground, ensuring that uneven terrain is no obstacle for a flawless finish.

The construction of these mowers is robust, built with heavy-duty materials that withstand the rigors of daily use. The steel frame and deck provide strength and longevity, while the reinforced edges prevent damage from contact with obstacles like rocks and tree stumps. Additionally, the powder-coated finish enhances durability by resisting rust and corrosion, making these mowers perfect for long-term outdoor use.

Land Pride's PR2596 and PR2572 feature a rear discharge design, which ensures that clippings are evenly dispersed across the lawn. This prevents clumping and promotes healthier grass growth by returning nutrient-rich clippings to the soil. The adjustable cutting height, ranging from 1 to 4 inches, offers the flexibility needed for various grass types and desired lawn appearances.

Another key technology in these models is the innovative blade system. The mowers are fitted with high-quality blades designed for efficiency and longer-lasting sharpness. This not only ensures a clean cut but also reduces the frequency of blade maintenance and replacement, saving time and costs for operators.

For user comfort, the PR2596 and PR2572 are designed with easy-to-use controls and settings. The quick-attach mounting system simplifies connecting the mower to tractors, while the operator-friendly design enhances maneuverability and reduces operator fatigue during long mowing sessions.

In summary, the Land Pride PR2596 and PR2572 finishing mowers represent the pinnacle of performance and efficiency in landscape management. Their combination of durable construction, advanced mowing technologies, and user-centric design makes them an outstanding choice for those seeking reliable, high-quality equipment to meet their mowing needs.
