keep rolling rolling rolling rolling yeah are you ready so welcome back to machinery nation
we've been given the opportunity by we bang mowers to test some of their legacy virtue
roller mowers now if you want pretty patterns on your lawn these might be the machines for you but
let's give them a good test and see what they're all about so we got three mower models to test
today we've got the 19 inch 48 pro the 48 pro bbc and the legacy 56 pro now they all do different
things slightly but fundamentally they've all got a big steel roller on the back and they'll
put a nice stripe on your lawn or that's what i'm hoping they'll do so let's quickly run through
the specs of each model right so the first model the legacy 48 pro 19-inch aluminium cutting deck
rated up to 1500 meters squared cuts three speed gearbox three 3.5 from 4.6 kilometers per hour 179
cc's kawazaki fj 180 v engine 1.7 liters petrol fuel tank capacity 72 liter grass bag with airflow
fabric height of cut 13 to 67 millimeters 5.2 meters per second vibration levels friction disc
blade protection and the weight of the machine is 64.5 kilos and moving on to the pro 48 bbc
and the differences between this and the first model fitted with a warner bbc belay brake clutch
6.2 meters per second vibration levels and the legacy 48 pro bbc weighs in at 65.5 kilos
i'm moving on to the last model the legacy 56 pro and the differences between this and the 19 inch
models 56 centimeters or 22 inch cutting deck the most impressive grass box capacity that we
bang produce 85 liters fitted with a friction disc assembly vibration level 6.5 meters per second and
is weight always the best when it comes to roller mowers well maybe this one weighs in at 68.5 kilos
and all these motors come with three year commercial warranty or five year domestic
with 25 years warranty on the aluminum cutting decks themselves
so impressive impressive machines now we've got some tests to run through we're going to
do cutting performance bagging performance and striping or pattern performance and see which
machine comes out best and which one might be best for you let's crack to it so to keep the
test fair when we're doing the cut we'll all cut at 25 millimeters so that's the 22 inch
and the 19 inch models i've got here as well now what we're going to do we're going to
have high lift blade fitted to the 22 inch and the 48 pro and the 48 pro bbc which i've got on here
is just going to have the standard blade so you'll see a bit of a difference between
the performance and the bagging capabilities between the two let's fire up and take a cutting
i think i filled the bag so it's proper cram that grass box full of grass
right so i think 25 millimeters might be a bit short for this garden
i've i've sculpt the lawn so the boss man's not going to be too happy but
i think what we're going to do to make it fairer we're going to move up so we get some nice pattern
on the lawn so we'll move it up to what should we say will should we move it up to 42 millimeters
let's go 42 millimeters all the way through the range and see the performance but if you can see
that standard blade on this machine and see what i've cut and it's bagged it all pretty impressive
you can see what it does with a standard blade we're going to try one with the high lift
right so we're now on to the 48 pro fitted with the high lift blade
as you can probably aware i'm still cutting the grass a little bit too low so i'm going
to bring it up to 52 millimeters now and see if that gives us the desired effect that we want
so
so that took ages to fill didn't it that really does show you what high lift blade can do
it does cram every corner of that bag look at it and the legacy 56 pro the biggest and
heaviest machine that we bang have to offer let's see what performance results it gives us
so now we've filled up the grass bags let's check the capacity of each one
and weigh them so the 48 pro bbc fitted with standard blade weighs in at
7.8 kilos 48 pro with a high lift blade weighs in at
12.85 kilos so let's weigh the 56 pro grass bag go that's heavy boy weighing in at 1765 kilos so in
this video we set out to tell you which machine had the best cutting performance best striping
performance and best bagging capacities well i'm sure you can see i've been impressed by every
single machine i mean that is an absolute beast it fills the grass box right all four corners
nearly had a 17 kilo grass bag there full with grass absolutely packed to every corner really
really impressive i just wonder what it'd be like in the wet as i think those high lift blades would
do a fantastic job but to be honest with you i would probably struggle doing that all day long
i would probably pick one of these 48 pro and pro bbc machines which are a little bit more compact
but they give you the same finish they still give you that humbug looking lawn effect that
you want that british stripe that we all strive for i love the blade brake clutch system on it
it means you can keep the engine running when you empty the grass box and come back but personally
myself i like the 48 pro nice and maneuverable gives a really cut cut and performance it's got
the high lift blade on there and you can see how low we cut down and it cuts every single bit of
grass that's left on the lawn so i think that is my favorite but you might like the 56 pro
it really comes down to the garden area you've got and what you want to do with it thank you
ever so much once again for joining us i hope you liked our video please like us and subscribe and
do all of those things and we'll keep bringing you these videos that's right we are machinery nation
