McConnel has added two new 60hp Power Arms models to its 55-Series hedge cutter range.

The new PA5555-60 and PA5755-60 come with a reach of 5.5m and 5.7m, respectively, and gain an additional 5hp increase over the standard PA5155 and PA5455, which have 5.1m and 5.4m cutting reach, respectively.

In addition, the three-point linkage-mounted Power Arms also gain an integrated oil cooler, redesigned rear guards and LED road lighting.

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. Hydraulic Power Slew is another standard feature.

The PA5555-60 and PA5755-60 are available with either cable controls or motion control – McConnel’s electronic proportion control system.

Cutting attachments include a selection of flail heads from 1.2m to 1.5m, rotary heads, cutter-bars and saw heads. A heavy-duty ditch and drain cleaner can also be specified.

The new models are now available for order with prices starting from €22,885 (£20,800) plus VAT.

Meanwhile, the 65-Series Power Arms range has received hydraulic system upgrade for greater output and performance. All 65-Series models now come with 70hp hydraulic system as standard, a step up for the original 65hp.
