New Dump-From-The-Seat Hopper Boosts Efficiency, Productivity

Cary, N.C. (January 27, 2006) — John Deere adds a dump-from-the-seat, hopper-style material collection system to its line of 7-Iron™ Material Collection Systems (MCS) for 2006. Professional landscape contractors can increase productivity by emptying the large, 500-liter (14 bu.) capacity hopper without leaving the seat, and a common three-bag mounting system allows quick, no-tool removal.
As part of the 7-Iron MCS line – which includes the two-bag, three-bag or new dump-from-the-seat-style material collection systems – all 2006 John Deere commercial mowing products will also feature a redesigned spindle-driven blower. The new horizontal-mounted blower offers steel housing and greater ground clearance to ensure superior performance in all conditions.
