some Orec tools tested

[ArlyA]

Over the weekend, we attended a trails conference and Orec America was there with a few of there tools. This is a Japaneses company that makes professional landscape tools. While there, I operated the tracked materiel hauler that is rated to carry 650lbs and the walk behind flail mower. Man-O-man was that mower nice!! Both were quite easy to steer. They also make wheeled, rotatory walk behind mowers. We've used DR items before who this company is competing with. Orec machines are in the professional or HD category.

Any idea about the price of the flail mower?

I believe the tracked flail was $3800?? (don't quote me) A wheeled one would of course be less.

Excuse my laziness (the info may be on their Web site), who makes the engine?

Some had Honda's and others had Briggs and stratton engines.

Just watched their video. Impressive equipment. The guy with the ride on mower is wasting no time. Doesn't seem to faze it. Everything seems nice

If we needed a tracked wheel barrow or a walk behind rough mower, Orec brand it would be. Maybe we reallt do need one?? (must speak with spousal unit )
