Kent County Council have recently taken delivery of the first Grillo FD 1500 Pro to arrive here in the UK. Kent Fleet purchased two FD1500 last year to maintain verges and public areas around Kent and were so impressed with their performance that an order was placed for a further machine.


The new Pro version has been further enhanced with the fitting of a 44hp Yanmar engine giving 30% more power and 35% extra torque. This increased power allows cutting and collection at a much higher speed even in the worst conditions with tall wet grass. The engine itself is mounted on new dampers to reduce vibration and noise levels for operator comfort.

With the new optimized weight distribution the machine is more stable on slopes with increased grip reducing the number of times the diff-lock is needed. A fully certified ROPS structure is also available.
