They have combined the strength of an aluminium chassis with their popular galvanised frame, which provides a very strong, rugged feel to the machine. The main body is the lighter steel frame but has been redesigned with a stronger "J" frame at the base along with a deeper deck. The rear frame of this hybrid deck is made up of aluminium which makes up the lower handle mount which makes for an extremeley strong feel to the mower.
The blade has been massively improved to increase the cutting performance. This blade along with the deeper deck makes for a 20% increase in the collection performance as the clippings are almost mulched before being collected in the larger 75 litre grassbox.
