Features
Durable Design
Proven rugged frame, drivetrain, and components ensure durability and long life. Heavy-duty welded steel decks and frames provide extra durability and long life.
Contour® Plus Cutting Decks
The Contour™ Plus cutting technology takes quality of cut to a whole new level. Air inlet pockets keep the grass standing tall for the cleanest possible cut and a modified rear discharge opening disperses clippings more evenly. An optional mulching kit and optional high height of cut blade are also available.
InfoCenter™
Get helpful maintenance reminders and instant notification of potential problems. During normal operation, the InfoCenter displays operating information, while constantly monitoring the internal health of the machine. Audible and visual alarms notify the operator of a potential problems, which helps technitians identify the source of the issue. With the electronically controlled foot pedal, set a maximum mowing speed for greater control of operator usage.
Operator Comfort
The operator area of the Groundsmaster® 4500-D and 4700-D was designed to make work more comfortable with amenities like a large operator platform, multi-size beverage holder, 12-volt outlet, storage box, deluxe seat, and portable radio holder. Operators will also be pleased by the lower sound levels and the additional storage area behind the seat that's large enough for a water cooler, trash bucket, and other items.
Easy Service
Quick and easy access to all major service areas.
4-Wheel Drive
The Groundsmaster® 4500-D and 4700-D both feature a unique, parallel hydraulic traction system that assures full-time, bi-directional 4-wheel drive. Parallel hydraulic flow between front and rear wheels means that you will have 4-wheel drive assistance in turns, enabling easier trimming around objects without tire scuffing and dependable traction on hills and wet terrain.
Productivity
The Groundsmaster® Contour Series mowers provide the productivity you need, no matter the size. Mow up to 10.6 acres (4.3 hectares) per hour to get the job done fast.
Attractive Striping
Rear rollers provide an attractive striping effect while you mow, greatly enhancing the finished look of your turf.
