This model combines elegance, robustness and power, promoting outstanding performance through the implementation of the Loncin 432 cc engine, recognized for its reliability and durability.

The cutting plate, forged in top quality steel, guarantees longevity and resistance to wear and heavy operating conditions, while the lateral discharge system, together with the mulching function, amplifies the efficiency and versatility of mowing activities.

The ability to adapt to different varieties of lawns is an additional merit of the LT SD 98H model. With a cutting width of 98 centimetres and an adjustable height between 30 and 90 millimetres, the mower can effectively handle different types of grass surfaces, ensuring consistent and precise results in every context.

1- SIDE DISCHARGE:

The most traditional among the cutting systems. Side discharge system recommended for: large extensions for those who do not need to collect for those who do not mow frequently and need to cut overgrown grass for which the collection system or mulching is no longer effective.

2- MULCHING:

This grass mowing system allows crushing grass clippings and dropping them on the ground. The resulting grass particles are so small, they will be barely noticeable on the lawn. This eliminates the problem of its disposal (reducing any effort and shortening the time-saving). Moreover, grass clippings will break down into nutrients and water for the lawn (grass is 80% water) and will thus ensure a perfectly balanced biological cycle. However, it is worth remembering that, to ensure the greatest mulching results, the lawn should be irrigated, and the grass needs cutting at least once a week.

Conversion: simply attach the proper plug to the grass discharge opening to operate with the mulching cutting system.

The Loncin 432 cc engine is an example of refined mechanical engineering, a symbol of strength, efficiency and reliability in the landscape of engines dedicated to gardening equipment.

It is a single-cylinder engine with a displacement of 432 cc, designed according to the standards of 4-stroke petrol engines. Its structure has been developed according to the latest innovations in the field, integrating an overhead valve shaft (OverHead Valve - "OHV"), which ensures optimal operation, minimizing pressure losses and improving thermal and combustion efficiency.

The power expressed by this engine is remarkable, reaching 10.3 Hp effectively and consistently at 2800 rpm. This feature, in addition to guaranteeing a high response in terms of performance, ensures smooth and constant operation even in conditions of prolonged use or in load situations.

The Loncin 432 cc engine starter system has been designed with a particular focus on simplicity and effectiveness of use. Equipped with a starter motor, the ignition process is managed through the use of a key, making the entire operation intuitive and free from potential complications.

As for the capacity of the tank, the engine has a reserve of 7.5 litres, a volume designed to ensure long operating sessions without the need for frequent interruptions to refuel.

The engine is connected to a sturdy hydrostatic transmission

Nominal Power: 16 HP
The correct term would be "Commercial” Power, meaning the standard definition used until a few years ago by all well-known engine manufacturers.

* This figure is the one that is, most widely used and publicised in the main sales channels, even if it is higher than the real power of the engine.

Actual power: 10.3 Hp (at 2800 rpm)
It refers to the real power of the engine. This is the power indicated as official in the engine instructions manual.

The introduction of the new two pedal hydrostatic gearboxes greatly increases usability and intuitiveness in riding the mower. The manipulation is essentially carried out by using the right foot on the related pedal.

The operation is distinguished by its immediate understanding: advancing requires a simple pressure of the tip of the foot on the pedal, with the mower progressing proportionally to the pressure applied. The insertion of the reverse gear is carried out equally easily, by pressing the opposite end of the pedal with the heel.

The machine stops as soon as the pedal is released, allowing operations that safeguard the safety of the operator.

The integrity of the gearbox is safeguarded by sturdy gears, guaranteeing an intrinsic difficulty of breakage. By its nature, the hydrostatic gearbox is clearly more contemporary and functional – albeit economically more expensive – than the traditional manual gearbox.

The latter, in order to change the speed, requires the operator to stop, change gear (considering that all tractors with manual or mechanical gearboxes need the gearbox to be stopped), release the clutch and then restart at the desired speed.

In contexts where the speed needs to be varied frequently (such as, for example, in gardens characterized by trees, pots or other types of obstacles), the traditional gearbox could be considerably less functional. On the contrary, the hydrostatic gearbox allows immediate and uninterrupted speed variations, ensuring maximum practicality and fully automatic control, with variations simply managed by pressing on the control pedal of this transmission.

The solid double-bladed flat represents a vigorous component in cutting, with a high profile specifically designed to handle grass of high height and density.

The actual size of the cut amounts to 98 cm, ensuring effective coverage of the area in question.

Regarding the adjustment of the cutting height, the system allows you to select between 7 different positions, giving the ability to modulate the desired height in a range between 30 mm and 90 mm. This offers considerable flexibility and precision in determining the length of the turf.

In addition, the cutting plate is equipped with anti-scalp wheels, which guarantee a uniform finish even on uneven surfaces, simultaneously protecting the lawn from potential damage resulting from accidental collisions with obstacles or ground depressions.

Activation of the mower blades of the tractor is realised by means of controls located on the control panel (yellow button).

The lawn tractor is equipped with an electromagnetic drive system, which promotes the quick activation and deactivation of the blades with a mere touch of the button.

This system ensures both safe and reliable operation of the blades, allowing both accurate and immediate control of the grass cutting.

The Blue Bird LT SD 98H mower stands out for its user interface, meticulously designed to blend cutting-edge functionality and intuitive operational simplicity, giving the operator both precise and reliable control of the device in any application context.

The blade speed regulator has been developed with the aim of granting meticulous control over the speed of the cutting blades, ensuring that the operator can modulate the speed in relation to the specific lawn conditions and operational needs, thus maximising cutting efficiency and quality in every situation.

The parking brake, which is easy to access, has been designed to offer robust mop locking functionality when the mop is stationary or during loading and unloading, ensuring stability and safety even on uneven or inclined surfaces.

The innovative ignition lock with key not only establishes a safe and secure method for starting the mower, but also serves as a deterrent against potential attempts at unauthorized use of the equipment.

The pedal brake has been carefully calibrated to provide both a firm and progressive response during the braking phases, giving the operator complete control of the machine, even in emergency situations or on slippery terrain.

The mowing height adjustment lever offers a wide choice of easily adjustable heights, allowing accurate customisation of the mowing level of the lawn according to the specific needs of the terrain and individual preferences, ensuring in any case high quality results.

The forward and reverse coupling has been designed with a particular focus on ease of use and responsiveness, ensuring that the change of direction is always smooth and effortless, for optimal manoeuvrability in any situation.

In conclusion, the electromagnetic button for the blades, equipped with a yellow button, allows instant switching on and off of the blades, providing direct and safe control over the cutting function, while the yellow colour ensures visibility and ease of identification, even in conditions of reduced brightness.
