McConnel launched a new 60hp mid-range Power Arm at Lamma last week. The 62-Series is available with a choice of 5.1m, 5.5m and 5.7m straight arms, as well as a 5.5m Variable Forward Reach (VFR) option, which McConnel says offers improved visibility to the cutting head.

New features include LED road lighting, a redesigned hydraulic tank, a two-piece rear guard for easier service access, and a sculpted polypropylene top cover to prevent debris and moisture ingress.

McConnel’s parallel-arm and Hy-reach geometry continue to come as standard, as do seam welded c-section arms and fully bushed pivot points. The 62-Series also comes with the in-house designed 60hp gear hydraulic system, featuring a 180-litre hydraulic tank, high-capacity oil cooler and electric rotor control option. An external debris blower option is available, which clears roadside debris. Buyers can choose from the mini joystick Pioneer control or large joystick Evolution control.

The 62-Series features three-point linkage mounting and have four-point hitch and stabiliser bar options. The Series is compatible with a range of attachments, including 1.2m and 1.5m flail heads with optional hydraulic front hood and hydraulic rear roller, saw heads, rotary heads and cutterbars.
