Key Features

Powerful Turbocharged Diesel Engine

The mower is powered by a 2.1 L four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine producing approximately 55.1 hp (41.1 kW), delivering strong torque and reliable performance for cutting dense grass and operating across demanding terrain.

Wide 88″ (223 cm) Cutting Width

The 8800A features an 88-inch (223 cm) total cutting width, allowing operators to cover large areas efficiently and significantly increase productivity compared to smaller mowers.

Five Floating Rotary Cutting Decks

Equipped with five 21″ (53.3 cm) rotary decks, the mower provides excellent ground contour following and consistent cut quality across uneven terrain.

The decks are constructed from heavy-duty 10-gauge steel, offering long-term durability in demanding commercial environments.

High Blade Tip Speed for Clean Cutting

With a blade tip speed of approximately 15,000 ft/min (4,572 m/min), the 8800A delivers a clean, consistent cut and effective clipping dispersion, even at higher mowing speeds.

Hydrostatic 4WD Traction System

The mower features a hydrostatic drive system with four-wheel drive, providing excellent traction and stability on slopes, wet ground and uneven terrain. This ensures consistent performance across challenging mowing conditions.

TechControl™ Display System

The integrated TechControl™ display allows operators to monitor machine diagnostics, set mowing speeds, adjust turn speed and manage performance settings. This system improves consistency between operators and helps maximise productivity.

AutoPedal™ System

The AutoPedal™ system automatically adjusts engine speed based on pedal input, improving fuel efficiency, reducing noise and simplifying operation.

LoadMatch™ Technology

LoadMatch™ technology helps maintain engine performance under heavy load conditions, ensuring consistent cutting quality even in dense or wet grass.

Rear Discharge Deck Design

The rear discharge system provides excellent clipping dispersion, reducing clumping and minimising clean-up requirements after mowing.
