The latest 77-Series Power Arms unveiled by McConnel pack more power and durability into a compact package thanks to 70 or 85hp hydraulic system and larger-diameter pivot pins.
Designed for professional users including contractors, local authorities, and farmers, the heavy-duty 77-Series delivers class-leading strength and hydraulic performance for demanding verge and hedge maintenance work.
The 77-Series stands out with larger-diameter pivot pins, providing a 48% increase in bush contact area for enhanced strength and durability. For those needing even greater capability, an optional 85hp hydraulic system offers increased power and flow, setting a new benchmark in its class.
A unique feature of the 77-Series is the optional integrated debris blower which is located within the rear guard. Not only does it clear roadside debris but also enhances cooling by drawing in cool air over the pumps and tank.
Additional new features include LED road lighting, a redesigned 180-litre hydraulic tank, a two-piece rear guard for easy service access and a sculpted polypropylene top cover to prevent debris and moisture ingress.
As standard, the 77-Series is equipped with McConnel’s in-house designed 70hp gear hydraulic system, high-capacity oil cooler, electric rotor control, and Soft-Start rotor engagement.
Available with a choice of 5.5m and 6.0m straight arms, or 6.5m and 7.0m telescopic configurations, the 77-Series can also be specified with Variable Forward Reach (VFR) at 5.5m and 6.0m – offering improved visibility to the cutting head for greater operator comfort. All variants include Hy-Reach arm geometry, parallel arm geometry, and 100 degrees of Power Slew as standard.
Customers can choose from three proportional electric control options: MOTION, EVOLUTION, and the flagship REVOLUTION control system, which is compatible with McConnel’s Easy Drive System (EDS) for effortless verge mowing.
Built around a heavy-duty mainframe and manufactured in the UK at McConnel’s Ludlow facility, the 77-Series can be specified with 3-point linkage, 4-point hitch, or 5-point axle-mounting options. It can be fitted to tractors over 80hp and 4,000kg, depending on specification and reach.
A full suite of attachments is available, including flailheads (1.2m, 1.5m, and 1.6m), sawheads, rotary heads, and cutterbars. The new 77-Series is available to order now through McConnel’s dealer network.
