FD280 Collection Ride On Mower

Exceptional collection & top quality finish

The FD280 is perfect for large properties where owners want a wide cut and also a top quality finish on their lawn.

The out-front floating deck allows the operator to mow into corners, under bushes and trees and offers excellent visibility. Because the deck follows the contours of the land, the mower produces a quality finish which results in a beautiful looking lawn.

The FD280 collects 280 litres of grass – as much as a commercial machine and with it’s 46” out-front deck can reduce mowing time dramatically.


The FD 280 offers extraordinarily good grass collection performance. Its unique deck shape and blade design produces excellent airflow which eliminates grass blocking. The three bladed cutting system and direct rear collection, operates without the need for fans or an impeller. The electric grass discharge takes out all the hard work of emptying the grass. Simply drive to your dump site and tip out the grass by pushing a switch.

The FD280 is steering wheel driven and the rear wheel steer system produces easy, tight and responsive performance – it is a pleasure to drive. Turning on full lock leaves less than 40cm of uncut grass - ideal for cutting around trees.

The FD280 features differential lock to increase traction and a pivoting rear wheel axle to increase stability over uneven ground. The parallelogram deck support keeps the cutting level uniform at all cutting heights. The latest FD280 model features an electric clutch to engage the blades as well as a quick release lever to enable the cutting deck to be released so that it can be raised to the vertical position for easy maintenance.  A hose washing port allows for easy deck cleaning after use.
