All our hydrostatic drive tractors can be fitted with various options to equip them to perform your individual tasks. There are many wheel and tyre options which include semi floatation, large balloon floatation, turf type along with dual and treble wheel combinations and cage wheels for bank work. Hourmeters are included on the engines so that service schedules can be maintained. All models feature a transmission free wheeling device which enables the operator to move the tractor by hand if the don’t wish to start the engine, very useful inside tight sheds or for positioning on trailers. Certain models have the option of electric starters instead of the usual pull start. The ability to work on steep ground is a Rapid speciality. Fitted with the correct wheel equipment, the Rapid hydrostatic drive tractor is safe to operate on the steepest of gradients giving the operator confidence to perform their task.

The Rapid Rex maybe the smallest model in our range but it is big in capability. Designed as
a machine to be especially capable of performing on the steepest of ground, it is a pleasure
to operate being only 89kgs in weight, and when equipped with suitable sprocket wheels, sticks

drive and feature full active steering affected by movement of the handlebars. The
independent PTO is engaged by simply pressing a switch and the attachments are engaged into
the Rapid tool free quick attachment flange.
The Rex is most suited to grasscutting on steep slopes with various cutterbars available but
in addition, we have a rotary deck for mulching overgrown areas such as bramble, bracken,
thistle or nettles etc. Snow blades and sweepers are also useful attachments.

Until the arrival of the Rex, The Mondo was the smallest and most compact tractor in the range. It features a 9hp petrol engine, hydrostatic transmission and a totally independent PTO system. A tool free quick attach change system allows for many different attachments. The Mondo has no awkward transmission clutches or difficult gears to find but just the familiar Rapid twist grip control giving progressive forward and reverse travel. The handlebars are easily adjusted to suit the operator’s height keeping the machine comfortable to use.
This versatile tractor is suitable for use where space is
limited, maybe accessing gardens for landscapers or smallholders
through to large open spaces where a light weight tractor is
required in wet lands such as reed beds. When used with the correct
wheel type, such as dual or cage wheels, then the Mondo can be used
on steep ground for operations such a grass cutting or alternatively
with the single wheels set narrow, it’s ideal for jobs such as
rotavating. It’s able to perform all these tasks thanks to its
ability to work in two directions. The handlebars simply rotate,
allowing the drive wheels to be either behind the attachment for
jobs such as mowing or in front of the attachment for cultivation
jobs. Whichever way the handlebars are, the controls remain the same
making the Mondo a safe and easy tractor to operate.
