Weibang Virtue 46 SMP LV Mulching Self-Propelled Petrol Lawn Mower

Description

The Weibang Virtue 46 SMP LV is a premium quality, dedicated mulching mower designed for the needs of the demanding homeowner or professional user. It is equipped with Weibang's VCT engine which features dramatically lower vibration levels with up to 56% reductions across the range from previous models.

Unlike a conventional lawn mower which collects grass clippings, this mulching mower operates a system which recycles the clippings as you mow. The grass clippings are chopped into fine particles which are pushed right down into the turf out of site. With no grass collector to empty and no trips to the compost heap, the result is a perfect, fertilised lawn that is 30 per cent faster. As there is no discharge chute sticking out of the side or a grass bag overhanging the front or rear of the mower, you can mow within an inch or two of any obstacle, eliminating the time spent finishing off with a strimmer afterwards.

The specially designed rugged steel mulching deck on the Virtue 46 SMP LV features a rolled base which offers superior strength and high performance. The cutting height of the wide 46cm (18") deck can be adjusted centrally through 11 pre-set stages between 28mm and 76mm to suit the cutting conditions and the length of grass.

This lawn mower is powered by a 196cc engine boasting Weibang's vibration control technology (VCT) producing an incredibly low emission rate of 3.5m/s² which means it will take 19 hours 31 minutes to reach ELV (exposure limit value) making it the perfect contractor's machine for day long use.

Combined with a low vibration 3.5kW engine, this three-speed self-propelled Virtue 46 SMP LV boasts other superb features such as heavy-duty fully adjustable handles, robust front bumper and large nylon wheels. It also benefits from Weibang's service and storage position whereby the lawn mower can be stowed vertically, taking up less space in the shed and allowing easy access to the underside of the mulching deck for easier cleaning and maintenance.

Weibang backs its Virtue lawn mower range with an industry-leading five year warranty for domestic use subject to annual service as well as a reassuring one year commercial warranty.

What are the benefits of vibration control technology?

Lower vibration

All VCT engines feature dramatically lower vibration levels with up to 56% reductions across the range.

All day use across the range

Thanks to the lower vibration levels all VCT models can be used for substantially longer by the operator, in fact operators can use machines for up to 424% longer than the previous version.

Lower cost

By taking a different approach to other manufacturers Weibang has avoided having to add additional components and consumable items, meaning parts stock remains the same for the range, and operators do not have the added maintenance costs of new rubber AV mounts.

Tried & tested

All VCT engines are based on the exceptional WEIBANG X series belt and shaft drive models, which have been in the market for over 10 years worldwide. A testament to this is that Weibang has had fewer warranty claims for the WEIBANG X series than all the other engines they use put together.

100% spares parts support

By utilising a single engine brand, Weibang can control the supply of spare parts, ensuring parts are always in stock to minimize downtime for commercial operators.

Vibration Results

This table shows the latest engine vibration figures as well as the increase in daily usage before reaching ELV (Exposure Limit Value). All models with VCT now exceed eight hours use per day before reaching ELV.

Commercial 3-Speed Pro Gearbox

The Virtue 46 SMP LV features a commercial 3-speed gearbox that is designed for the demanding user, built to last a lifetime.

Quality Steel Deck

The rolled steel deck fitted to this mulch mower is specially designed to offer an unrivalled mulching performance as the grass is held in the deck, finely cut and then evenly dispersed onto the lawn.

Built for a Long Life

The Virtue 46 SMP LV is fitted with a front bumper providing deck protection and heavy-duty quick release handles.

Heavy-Duty Wheels

The Weibang Virtue 46 SMP LV features nylon ball bearing wheels with a polyurethane tread designed to be gentle on your lawn.

Adjustable Cutting Height

The Weibang Virtue 46 SMP LV lawn mower allows 11 different cutting heights which are selected by using a single lever located on the side of the mower deck.

Rolled Steel Deck with Crankshaft Protection

Weibang dedicated mulchers feature a high performance
rolled steel deck with specially designed cutting blade
for the optimum mulching performance. To protect
the crankshaft from damage by tree roots and stones,
an aluminium support has been fitted to support the
crankshaft with the blade mounted to a CPS slip washer.

High Performance Mulching Blade

The specially designed blades fitting to the Weibang Virtue mulching mowers help to generate the perfect airflow for the grass cuttings to be held within the deck to be cut into very small pieces.

Other Key Features

No Clippings

Mulching is a quick and tidy was to mow your grass, removing the need for piles of clippings. It also reduces the need to fertilise and water your lawn by returning valuable nutrients and moisture to the ground.

Upright Storage Position

Mow 'n' Stow engine technology reduces the footprint of the lawn mower by 70 per cent, which means more storage in your shed or garage. As if easy storage wasn't enough, Mow 'n' Stow technology also provides easy access to the underside of the mower to make cleaning the blade a breeze.

5 Year Domestic / 1 Year Commercial Warranties

For peace of mind, all Weibang petrol lawn mowers feature a five year domestic warranty subject to being serviced annually by a Weibang approved service dealer, whilst the steel shaft drive lawn mower is supplied with a one year commercial warranty.
