Navigator Dedicated-Bagging Rider

Exmark says its Navigator dedicated-bagging rider is designed to offer an enhanced-control feel with reduced-control effort, allowing for increased mowing precision and overall productivity, and a reduction in operator fatigue. The 2013 Navigator incorporates Exmark’s latest hydro-drive technology, including new, high-performance hydro motors and new reduced-friction hydro pumps. The Navigator’s 4 5/8-inch deep rear-discharge deck features a large blower to pull through more air and provide enhanced deck flow-through and cut quality. A powered dump system is available for 2014 that allows the operator to dump clippings quickly from the driver’s seat.
