so today we've got three fantastic products from wee bang we got three of their lithium-ion
ride on mowers we've got the brand new one over there which will be available in the
uk market very shortly nasa side discharge we've got the 81 rc this was the first ever
direct collect ride on mower to be launched in the whole of the world and we've got the 76 sd
which is a side discharge machine as you can see typical we bang product it's built with strength
all this metal work down here absolutely fantastic we'll go through each product and talk you through
them and we're lucky enough to have lewis here from wiibang as well who's going to be able to
introduce some of the products with me today hi everyone it's great to be here with you today josh
right so we'll start off with a 76 sd this is basically a 30 inch side discharge ride
on tractor it's got twin motors on the gearbox and these have got overload protectors on them
so this machine is designed for that longer grass those paddock areas that get out of control
having the overload protector on there will stop you from basically damaging your motors so it's
a fail safe as you can see as i mentioned typical we bang product complete full metal construction
even from the front of the bumper all the way to the back this is all metal
it's a decent bit of kit this one also the cutting deck is an optional multi-side discharge it comes
with the mulching plate as standard and the side discharge flap when you want to chuck longer grass
out the side you put that on there and then it will discharge out the way for you if you want
a finer cut you basically put the mulch plug down and then you'll break up the chippings finer the
cutting height on this one is nice and short so it goes down to 25 millimeters all the way up
to 103 millimeters and as you can see very very simple to change it from mulch to side discharge
so the big question is is why go battery well three main things would be there's no fueling
less servicing costs but the most important thing would be the ease of use so i'm going to talk you
through the controls on this product right now so you've got easy on off key just like so this will
then light up your battery charge indicator which is just done on cells you've then got forward
a neutral and reverse there's also three silvery buttons here this button here will basically
allow you to learn reverse this button here will operate your leds the front lights for the machine
and this button here in simple terms is a cruiser control so you set your uh speed
with your foot pedal click that button on that will set your speed so if you've got nice wide
open areas you can take your feet off and just relax last button is a pto engagement
so this will start your powerful motors up on your cutter deck right so we've got really simple easy
access to your charging point so normal uk three pin plug and your charging point is just here
so you turn it in lock it into place it's ready to charge from flat this one will take
about eight hours give or take but the run time on it is absolutely fantastic
it is two hours which will equate to about 3 000 square meters of garden so you've got
a large garden area this is a product for you so really easy height adjustment there's
10 height settings like i said 25 mil to 103 mil and that's just easy up and down
on that lever there we've also got a cup holder which always comes in handy your seat can be
adjusted forward and back on that lever there and your part brake like an old school ratchet system
pull it up not your park let it go you're ready to drive the other thing i forgot to mention with
this wee bang product is you've actually got four anti-sculpting wheels now it is only a 30
inch cutting deck and most 30 inch cutting decks don't even have an anti-sculpting wheel so you can
see webang have really thought about this you know these are designed for you know your paddocks your
your overgrown lawns this is designed to basically ride up if it was to go over to lower spot the
anti-sculpting wheels will kick in and it will lift your cutting deck up to help protect any of
the equipment underneath right so here we have the big brother in the range this is the 81 rc
a 32 inch direct collect ride on battery mower it's a 72 volt lithium-ion product as you can
see the little bit of a difference on this one over the smaller one is this one's got a grass
box comes from the mulch plug as well and also an optional rear discharge chute so if you are
doing those first cuts of the year you can just blow the grass out onto the ground until you get
it to the height you want and then bring it down to a nice low cut the other thing with this one
is it cuts 130 millimeters on its highest cuts and that's all the way down to 25 mil so it's
the lowest cut as a 76 but gives you a higher end top cutting capacity that's shown here on
this first notch on how to cut so it's quite a big jump between the two notches there so this
machine is actually rated to cut six thousand square meters on one charge which is over an acre
absolutely fantastic for a battery ride on the other thing you'll notice is the tight turning
circle on it so if you've got a garden area that's got quite a lot of obstacles in it that will work
very well charge time on this one about 12 hours give or take that's from flat as well the controls
are very similar to the 76 sd in the way they work so you've got your reverse mode function you've
got your cruise control you've got your led lights your pto switch in neutral reverse and forward
switches so they're exactly the same controls right so the 81 rc as i mentioned is a rear
collect tractor so that means you've got grass box on the back it's easy to take off like so
this allows you to put the rear deflector on and the mulch plug i've got the mulch plug to hand
nice and simple operation that's just hooked into place up there
like so this is how easy the rear deflector goes on just held on by four wing nuts
just undoing the last one and we'll take that off and that just comes out of place like so
right so you've got a grass box full indicator which is fully adjustable for sensitivity
so if you are cutting longer wetter grass you can pull that out that will allow the
buzzer to go off quicker so you don't have that potential of blocking up your chute
push it back in the grass is drier and then it'll allow you to feel the grass box fuller
right so we've flipped the wii band back on its end obviously there's no oil in this engine it
is completely lithium iron so there's no oil or fuel leaks on this one but lewis is just
going to demonstrate the steering on this one as i mentioned really really tight steering
and that is done by the uj that's on the steering shaft most agricultural machines all agricultural
minded people know about universal joints you don't really get them on ride on tractors so
it's quite a thing to put this on there the other thing is you've got the pivoting shaft
on the center so the axle is then pivoting so if you've got your uneven ground it's going to give
you a smoother ride and a really nice cut and finish so the cutter deck is being shown here
you've got three powerful motors so you've got the drive motor there for the gearbox and you've
got the two separate blade motors now as you can see the whole lot is a metal construction so very
very high quality the other thing to mention on the cutting deck is your shear pins and that's a
crankshaft protection so basically instead of damaging your motor you're going to break the
two little lugs on there and that's going to be a cheap little part to replace if it were to ever
damage it heavily these are mulching rear collect blades as well so there's no swapping of blades
one blade does both jobs so the real difference between the 81 rc and the 76 sd controls is that
you've got an lcd screen on the larger model this basically tells you your gear selection
your speed of your motors your battery charge indication and your hours the product's been used
now these two flashing zeros are going to tell me basically the speed of the motors
as i said these are powerful motors so we'll run them up and just show you what the figures are
so there we go we're hitting around 3000 rpm so really really powerful give you
very good collection results fantastic rear deflect and very good mulching capabilities
josh has shown you the two existing machines in the wee bang range and i'm pleased today to show
you the future so the latest addition to the wiibagging range is our new battery zero turn
it's a new addition to the range and we feel it complements it well as you've seen from the
76 centimeter side discharge to the 81 centimeter rear collect this 105 centimeter side discharging
multi zero turn is the next logical step up in the battery platform now the first thing you'll
notice that's different is when you sit on use the machine you don't have a steering wheel or
foot pedals to control the machine everything is done using these two control levers you can
use the two control wavers to control each wheel independently so here from the right stick you're
controlling the right motor going forwards and back and using the left stick you're controlling
the left wing water going forwards and back and you'll see later on we do some cutting and you
push them forward together you move forward at the same speed and when you pull back you can slow the
speed down or even put the machine in reverse so again while we're sitting on the machine
you can see straight away there's a nice comfortable seating position with the wide seat
which also has a seat belt so if you do choose to wish to buckle yourself in if you are going over
rougher bumper ground it does definitely hold you in place again while i'm strapped into the machine
all the controls and all the operation is close to hand here you can see you have two cup holders
and this side you have your operations and your controls simply starter key your blade engagement
and also your hour meter further down the machine you'll notice two levers this one here is the
parking brake as i was parked i should really have it turned on and you also notice a foot brake
so if you aren't driving along and you do feel you are in a little bit of ground where you
need to stop quicker abruptly you can apply the foot brake and it will bring the machine
quite quickly and abruptly to a stop and then we have our height of cuts so you'll see the machine
goes all the way down to 15 millimeters up to 150 millimeters so a huge range of 100 mil and again
nice and easy from the driver's seat position you can find the height of cut you need set it
sit back in the zero turn and away you go so if i jump back off the machine
i'll take around some of the features closer up so down here at the front of the machine we can see
the heavy-duty front caster wheels again when you look at this even for a battery zero turn this is
real commercial quality it's the type of thing you'd expect to see on a zero turn retailer
for really between six to ten thousand pounds if not more again with grease nipples on the
bearings and also on the wheels meaning it's easy to do service and maintenance work on the machine
moving back we see the 105 centimeter or 42 inch cutting deck again you've got the option of either
side discharge or mulch here with a flap down you can see you've got the grass shooting out the side
if we lift it up you can see this blanking plate this blanking plate attached means that you can
mulch the grass so you're cutting the clippings nice and fine allowing them to recycle back
into the ground so again if you're doing a more formal area or an area you cut more regularly
because remember we're mulching you should really only take the top third of the grass off
you can put the blanking plate on and you can keep all the grass clippings in the cutter deck and
you can drop them recycle them down you see it's actually very easy to change from from mulching to
side discharge simply undo the wing nut pop the bolt out come the other side do the same again
grab the two bolts and now you can quickly move into side discharge again while we're down here
at the cutting deck you can have a look in there the brushless motors underneath these covers
are powerful brushless motors each one is connected to a blade which is actually cutting the
grass and throwing it out again having a brushless motor on each blade means you get plenty of power
and plenty of torque allowing it to handle the tough thick grass that we get here in the uk
continuing backwards on the machine you'll notice the sort of swapped angled bodywork design it
means that when you look at it even though a lot of it's not needed it gives space for controllers
and electronics to stay safe and encompassed and it gives it that nice aesthetic traditional
zero turn look on the back end you see here we've got our standard turf tires so they get
plenty grip when they're moving around the lawn again you don't want them too grippy
as when you're doing those 360 degree turns if you've got too much grip you can quite often
tear the one you're working on again you can see here when you look at the previous models josh
showed there was a plastic cover on as this is a development machine we haven't quite finished
the wheel cap but you can see looking down at the heavy duty studs and bolts and walk-in pen quality
of the machine you're buying another important point to mention is each wheel is separately
controlled by a brushless motor that means on this machine you have four brushes spotters in total
one for each blade so two for the cutter deck and two for the transmission one for the left
wheel and one for the right wheel so here at the back of the machine we have the charging
port again very similar to what josh showed you in other machines somewhere design flip up the cover
grab the charger stick it in and twist and it locks in place tight and secure and again you've
now got the charging unit which simply plugs in a standard uk three pin plug due the size of this
battery it takes over 12 hours to do a complete charge from start to finish that might sound a
lot of time but considering this machine will cut up to 8 000 square meters that's two acres on one
full charge for most people that'll be ample area to cover on one battery which means they can take
the machine in park it up in the garage or shed allow it to charge and come back to the next day
if they have to or in many cases it might be a couple days later while we're at the back of
the machine you'll notice a nice little feature on the back of the seat where there's a little
cubby hole so it means that it's nice and easy for you to store some tools when you're out using it
or if you've got some paperwork with the bungee strap it can just sit in there and it gets held
nice and tight and secure right so there we go thank you lewis for explaining the new zero tone
that looks absolutely fantastic and can't wait to be able to sell them next year we're going
to give these two a quick go show you the uh how they operate around the garden i think lewis is
then going to get on the zero turn and give that a blast as well so what do you think laura should
we give him a go yeah start your engine start your engines come on you started there we go
we got two totally different machines here i've got the rider collector so
i'll be bagging the grass and lewis has got the mulch mode set up on the side discharge
76. we've got a nice bit of trees over there as well in the garden so we'll show you how
tight the turning circles are the other thing is is obviously how quiet they are
so we'll run up the blades in a moment and drive away and we'll still be able to talk
to the camera at the same time so we'll give them a go and see what the cracks all about
so there we go nice and quiet i'm in rear clet
so
there we go thank you lewis so what can i say three more fantastic products from wee bang
