Supply SpecificaƟons

Project: Three zero turn mowers.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0 Scope of Work: Deliver three STIHL RZ 752 K (or equal) professional zero-turn mower with a carbureted engine and a 52'' zero turn hydrostaƟc mowing deck. The products should meet the technical speciaƟon’s below on delivery.

2.0 Background: The Croatan Ranger District requires three professional zero-turn mowers compact with all wheel drive, high clearance, independent front suspension with commercial-grade materials and components for improved durability. Mowers will be used for mowing campgrounds, recreaƟon areas and sepƟc drainage fields. The machine needs to be able to be transported with exisƟng district transport equipment. Most mowing trailers on district are (70”) or smaller. Zero Turn Mowers are maintained by mower shops in the local area (30-mile radius) to improve efficiency. 52-inch deck is necessary to effecƟvely transport equipment to the mulƟple rec sites on the district. The trailers we use are exactly 6 feet wide and cannot accommodate a dec that is 72” wide due to side rails reducing useable trailer width to less than 70”. smaller trailers allow us to access remotes sites on forest system roads that do not accommodate a large trailers. The 52 inch deck also allows personnel to maneuver effecƟvely without damaging surrounding vegetaƟon and faciliƟes. The smaller deck width allows us to mow all sites and gives us access to Ɵghter areas such as trail heads, drainfields and the grassy areas between trees. This reduces the Ɵme spent having to use weed eaters to accomplish these Ɵght areas, which improves employee safety by reducing exposure to condiƟons that cause heat related illnesses and increase employee efficiency. These mowers were spec’d to replace our current 54-inch and 52-inch Husqvarna Zero turns. We found these to be best suited for the recreaƟon areas on our forest.
