    Spider Slope Mower

    Spider ILD02 Slope Mower

      Loading...

    The Spider is a remote controlled self-propelled mower for the maintenance of steeply sloping areas such as embankments, roadsides and hillsides; areas that are otherwise typically maintained by teams of brush-cutter operators or tractor-powered reach mowers. Although referred to as a mower, “it performs more like a remote-control slasher”, is a regular comment from those attending demonstrations. It's capable of cutting waist-high growth, thick and wet kikuyu, weeds and small shrubs and plants. The Spider Mower cuts slopes up to 40 degrees with its 4 wheel drive lugged tyres, and up to 55 degree slopes with its optional winch system.

    FEATURES OF THE SPIDER ILD02 SLOPE MOWER

    POWER UNIT

    Spider Engine
    • Kawasaki FS 730V EFI Vertical crankshaft V-twin air-cooled 4-stroke 2 cylinder engine, producing 25.5 hp at 2300 rpm
    • The engine runs on standard unleaded or premium 95 octane unleaded for maximum performance
    • Alloy construction fits into the overall Spider design philosophy of light weight package for optimal power to weight ratio
    • Electronic Fuel Injection continually adjusts power to load, keeping blade tip speed constant and ground speed steady.
    • High pressure fuel injection technology with electronic fuel pump
    • Integrated electronic throttle control
    • Electronic controlled ignition timing
    • High performance lubrication system
    • Dual element air cleaner
    • Rotating grass screen to assist effective engine air-cooling
    • Cast iron cylinder liners
    • Electric starter with a 12-volt on-board battery and electrical system
    • 16 litre fuel tank capacity providing between 5 and 7 operating hours depending on slope and conditions

    CUTTING DECK

    Spider Under Deck
    • The deck body and super structure is made from aluminium alloy to obtain minimum overall weight of 325 kg
    • The vertical engine crankshaft is coupled to an electric clutch for engagement/disengagement of the belt driven cutting blades
    • The clutch unit incorporates a brake device to stop blade rotation on disengagement
    Spider Blade
    • Cutting is done by 4 double sided mulching blades 505mm long (20 inches)
    • Overall cutting width is 1230mm (48 inches)
    • The mulching blades are set well within the deck body to minimise the ejection of grass and debris during mowing. The blades are thick hard blade steel.
    Spider Height Demonstration
    • Mowing deck height is electrically adjustable from 90 to 140mm
    • The height setting is controlled from the operators remote control and is variable during cutting
    • An optional 40 to 110mm factory-fitted version of the deck is available, but is not interchangeable with the standard 90 to 140 mm unit

    DRIVE AND STEERING

    Spider Steering
    • A hydrostatic Sauer Danfoss drive system provides continuously variable travel speed in two speed ranges (turtle and rabbit modes) from 0 to 8 km/h, in forward and reverse
    • All 4 wheels are driven by the hydraulic motors. All speed, steering and direction controls are located on the operator's wireless remote control
    • Steering is 360 degrees on all 4 wheels without lock-to-lock limits
    • Tyres are lugged 16x6.5x8 tube tyres
    Spider 40 degree slope
    • The Spider Mower is capable of cutting on slopes up to 40 degrees under its own wheel drive
    • Beyond these angles, the optional winch system must be utilised to ensure machine stability and safety
    • The normal steering mode is referred to as the "dancing" step and is the mode normally used for mowing. In this mode all 4 wheels turn at the same time
    • Skid steer mode operation is used to re-orient the mower, typically for mowing along fences, walls, loading

    REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM

    A Series Safety
    • Other than the clearing of an Emergency-Stop and engagement of winch operation; all operator controls are performed through the wireless remote control station
    • The controller comes with a belt strap and is normally strapped to the operator as two-hand operation is required
    • If the controller is dropped or all hands released, the controls revert to the neutral position and the Spider mower stops driving
    • Controls include: engine start, stop and rpm; E-stop, forward/reverse speed control, steering controls, deck engagement/disengagement, height control

    ACCESSORIES

    Spider Tool Roll
    • A roll of the key tools required to undertake the daily checks and maintence tasks is strapped to the mower

    OPTIONS

    Spider Winch Integrated Winch System
    • The winch is hydraulically powered and integrated with the drive system
    • At extreme angles, the winch system provides machine stability, traction and prevents rollover
    • The integrated winch control is automatically synchronised with the drive wheel control, and does not require any additional operator controls
    • The winch also maintains the engine orientation to ensure engine lubrication
    Spider 60 degree slope with winch
    • Extraordinary as it is, this is a 60 degree slope
    • Such slopes would ordinarily be considered beyond the normal practical limit of a maintainable slope
    • But the Spider Mower with integrated winch system is capable of cutting such slopes
    Spider Winch Working
    • A typical illustration of the hydraulic winch system in operation
    • In this example the winch rope is anchored to a road-side guard rail
    • Follow this link for more examples of the winch in operation
    Spider Trailer Transport Trailer
    • An optional galvanised trailer with mesh sides is available r
    • The light weight machine is easily towed behind a sedan or ute
    • Folding ramps to assist loading and unloading of the Spider mower
