OPERATION - Mulch Mowers (only)
Vari-Tilt Conbar Mowers (only) – Information
The Rover Vari-tilt System (Patent Pending) is fitted to provide improved
performance when mulching. Generally it is recommended that the conbar is at its
longest length for Mulch mowing and at it’s shortest length for Catch mowing (Refer
to figures 12 & 13). The conbar at it’s longest length also provides a greater
maximum height of cut.
