Overview

The Wessex AR-120-R Generation 2 is a petrol-powered trailed finishing mower for regularly maintained grass, including lawns, private estates and pastures. Its 1.2m cutting width and three-rotor design make it suited to routine grass finishing behind an ATV, UTV or 4x4. The mower is powered by a 12.5hp Briggs & Stratton engine with recoil start. Its offsettable drawbar allows the mower to cut outside the towing vehicle’s wheelings, while a convertible axle provides either side-wheel or rear-wheel configuration.

Cutting and grass finishing

The AR-120-R’s three rotors and overlapping baffles are designed to distribute grass evenly and produce a fine cut on regularly mown areas. Heavy-duty blades use an upturned trailing edge to create suction.

Cutting height adjusts between 25mm and 200mm, providing scope to set the mower for the grass and finish required.

Mowing layout and operation

The drawbar can be offset to either side, helping the mower reach grass beyond the towing vehicle’s wheelings. The SwingLock axle changes the wheel arrangement from side wheels to rear wheels in under two minutes.

A centrifugal clutch lets the operator engage or disengage the blades from the seat. The break-away hitch is fitted to satisfy the stated health-and-safety recommendation.

Size and towing suitability

With a 1.2m cutting width, 1.8m overall width across the side wheels and a weight of 200kg, the AR-120-R is intended for towing behind ATVs, UTVs or 4x4s when maintaining lawns, estate grass and pastures.
