Introducing... ROBOCUT 2019!

McConnel has a firm reputation for blazing trails with quality, innovation and technology. Now the company has introduced the ultimate in remote control with the new Robocut range, which was previewed at Saltex show on the 31st October. Designed for the most challenging conditions, the all-terrain capability of McConnel remote control has been unequaled.

The Robocut range surpasses all expectations with an exciting new ground up design which incorporates the very latest advanced technology and matches it to years of experience. Three machines, with entirely new specifications and more power than ever, are married to revolutionary remote intelligence for greater output, safer and more precise control. The Robocut models are designed to take on hazardous operation and the most demanding gradients in a wide range of different work environments. This they take in their stride from the smallest mower, the Robocut RC28 to the full size RC56 and RC75. The Robocut RC28 promises a breakthrough in innovation and performance with a new and powerful EFI engine, low fuel consumption and low emissions combined with a low centre of gravity for smooth operation.

The RC56 and RC75 share the same new, outstanding, body design that is fully enclosed to keep out grass and debris. There’s a long list of new features including the Hatz 56hp and 75hp Diesel engines which have been OEM modified and tested specifically for Robocut. Double the fuel capacity improves efficiency, enabling up to twelve hours between refills. There is a revolutionary new hydraulic head flotation system that can be programmed to suit different attachments and conditions. Boasting the leading power-to-weight ratio on the market, the centre of gravity has been lowered in the new models for greater slope capacity. The Hetronic digital control system is supplied with two batteries that can be charged on board Robocut, so there’s no downtime waiting for charging. The control system is fully compatible and supported by the machines’ PCP. The 150m operational range allows for safe and flexible working, and there’s a new flailhead safety control system.

For the first time GPS Autosteer will be available for Robocut, developed in conjunction with Trimble, a world leader in a wide range of positioning technologies. GPS Autosteer enables operators to control precise cutting to an accuracy of up to 25mm from 150 metres away. It allows automatic remote plotting of cutting tasks for accurate working and maximum productivity, saving time, fuel and money.

Robocut converts into a multi-functional machine with a range of attachment solutions available for the RC56 and RC75 including grass, forestry and mulcher flailheads, together with twenty-one existing McConnel attachments.

See a robot working regularly. It has replaced one of those dutch machines which can work on death defying situations , ie a manned mower cutting dykes at about 60 degrees.
The manned machine did the job in 30 minutes, the robot takes all day and still requires a driver operating, but hey ho it is the taxpayer paying

Video only shows it working on slope that a tractor would have no problems working, and more comfortable for operator sitting in air-conditioned cab.
