Orec FL500BC Professional Rough-Grass Mower (with Honda Engine)

Orec FL500BC Professional Rough-Grass Mower

Of exceptionally robust construction and packed with high-end features, the truly impressive Orec FL500BC has been designed to meet the requirements of the most demanding landscape professionals.

It blends large-diameter, agrarian-tread drive wheels with a differential lock; a combination that ensures you’ll be able to traverse the sort of steep inclines that would likely defeat a conventional walk-behind mower, and which would be potentially unsafe to clear with a handheld brushcutter.

The Orec FL500BC has been fitted with an unforgiving brushcutting blade that’s capable of taking-down tall grass and dense scrub. The blade is powered via an indirect drive to prevent engine damage, should it strike an unseen immovable object.

Driving the Orec FL500BC Rough-Grass Mower is a top-quality Honda GXV160 engine; a 5.5hp (163cc), four-stroke OHV-type power pack with a dual element air filter, splash lubrication and a cast-iron cylinder lining for outstanding durability, and a high compression ratio and optimised valve overlap for superior fuel economy.

A large-capacity, multi-chamber exhaust system delivers a marked reduction in engine noise; precision engineered components and a ball-bearing-supported crank work to minimise vibration and wear.

The rugged Orec FL500BC has been equipped with a heavy-gauge steel cutter deck and chassis, which confer the robustness that’s so vital for commercial landscape contractors.

It offers single-point height of cut adjustment (10 to 70mm), so it’s quick and easy to select the optimum blade position for any given job, and it’s fitted with a vertically adjustable handlebar, which ensures comfortable mowing for operators of any height (the handlebar can be offset when mowing along walls and fence lines).

In order to optimise both flexibility of use and manoeuvrability, Orec have provided a four-speed gearbox (3 + 1).

This model has a generous, 50cm cutting width, and features a safety enhancing blade-brake clutch.

A mulch blade is available as an optional accessory.
