Interesting project. Can’t help wondering if modern battery technology and all the work done developing the current generation of electric vehicles would make such a machine more viable to day. I know that Ransomes Jacobsen have developed an electric greens mower but there doesn’t seem to be much feed back as to how well it is working. Shortly after an early production machine was being taken on a demonstration tour of some golf courses a Ransomes dealer’s service tech described it to me as a B****y Nightmare! Does anyone know how it is doing?

Don’t believe I’ve ever seen a trailer that had removable sides, looks to be a handy thing. Also appears the unit has been hen approved.

thanks wish I had been there

Perhaps its the challenge of finding out what is there, just not all in one place…

There’s various schools of thought on it and no wrong answers…

I think the opposite why exhibit Horticutral exhibits indoors???

well unless he got it into his head that by shielding the air entry point from cut grass and pollen he would not have to clean so regular,and maybe that’s why I discovered a paint brush tucked away in the chassis.

I can only find the engine number on one machine but they are both the original b&s engines so it has got to be there somewhere,

In theory yes, but I have a Ransomes Marquis with a Briggs sitting here right now with no sign of a number anywhere! Can only assume that it’s had a new blower housing at some point and that whoever fitted it didn’t make use of the sticky tag that used to come with new housings and short blocks – or,it’s fallen victim to pressure washing!
