2024 GIANNI FERRARI GT 280D

Gianni Ferrari Mower GT
The Gianni Ferrari GT professional range offers exceptional comfort and high performance:
THE BEST IN MACHINES WITH DIRECT GRASS COLLECTION.

FULLY HYDRAULIC
Its hydraulic power is the throbbing heart of GT:

smooth and effective 2 or 4 wheel drive hydrostatic transmission
the hydraulic PTO makes it extremely versatile and easy to use
light and precise steering with power assistance
useful and robust front hydraulic linkage with 2 arms
convenient hydraulic high lift dump of the grass collector
FRONT ACTION
All equipment and cutting tools are in front of the machine to guarantee the utmost visibility and control for the operator. The front deck ensures that the grass is cut before being trampled by mower wheels resulting in a clean, even cut. Additionally, the front deck also allows the operator to cut under bushes and makes finishing around trees, flower beds and walls easier.

CUT AND COLLECTION
The GT features counter-rotating blades that impart a strong aerodynamic thrust and send the cut grass into the grass collector. The wide built-in collection tube, thanks to its special shape, allows for extra acceleration to the cut grass. The direct grass collection system prevents clogging even in tough conditions with tall, moist grass.

HOPPER
Its large, 550-litre grass collector is made of shock resistant materials and it is equipped with air deflectors that ensure maximum filling and that direct dust backwards in order to offer favourable working conditions. A simple to activate joystick controls hopper emptying at the chosen height; it is possible to dump the grass at 75 cm from the ground or lift the hopper up to 200 cm in order to unload the grass in the body of a truck or trailer.

DRIVER’S POSITION
GT driver’s position was designed to offer maximum ergonomics and comfort in use. The seat is fitted with armrests and a high backrest, as well as having adjustable suspension to allow the operator to work without tiring. The steering column is adjustable and the steering wheel is ergonomic with a soft handgrip and knob. All controls are easy and user friendly with ergonomic levers and shaped handle. On the dashboard, a digital display provides information on the operation of the machine (hour meter, engine water temperature, fuel reserve, etc.). It also display diagnostics information relating to the safety and performance of the mower.

VERSATILITY
Besides benefits such as comfort and effectiveness, having the deck and attachments mounted out-front offers great versatility. The range of tools especially developed for GT allows for all-year-round use. Replacing equipment is very quick and easy as it does not require the use of tools. It can be carried out in just a few seconds thanks to the quick-release couplings and quick hitch ends of the front linkage.

REDUCED MAINTENANCE
The direct collection of grass is a remarkable advantage in terms of machine simplicity, resulting in fewer wearing parts which ultimately have to be replaced. The hydraulic PTO, instead of mechanical power take off, does not require the routine maintenance typical of mechanical transmissions (belt tensioning, greasing of cardan driveshaft, tensioners and bearings, etc.) Only one belt is used throughout the machine. This syncro transmission belt is over-dimensioned to ensure longevity. It is also self-tensioning and maintenance-free. The PTO quick couplings are flat face-type for easy cleaning The over-dimensioned hydraulic components guarantee the reliability of the system and keep temperature and pressure low, promoting a longer oil life and therefore lower maintenance costs.

TRANSMISSION
The hydrostatic transmission is available in either 2 or 4 wheel drive. In 4WD models, the transmission is automatically managed by the patented HTC™ (Hydrostatic Traction Control) device that gives several advantages, including:
it intelligently varies the traction supplied to each rear wheels to prevent them from damaging the turf during turning operations;
it guarantees constant drive to all 4 wheels for operator safety.
The servo-assisted pressure divider subdivides the torque on both wheels in order to have the effect of a differential lock.
ENGINES
GT is equipped with low-emission engines that are fully compliant with the current anti-pollution directives.
The oversized radiator with anti-clogging fin is raised and keeps clean longer also in difficult conditions. The filtering system with self-cleaning, cyclone-type pre-filter protects the engine and lengthens its life.

ROAD USE APPROVAL
GT models supplied with a road legal kit (front and rear lights, indicators, flashing beacon, horn, etc.) can be used on public roads. According to the type approval received, it is legal to drive on roads with the traction unit only, or with all the attachments stated in the vehicle registration document. It is also legal to drive with either a full or empty hopper.

SMART SYSTEM
THE LAST PATENT
GF3x1PLUS is the first mower entirely manufactured at Gianni Ferrari and is already known by many experts in this field and green area maintenance workers.
This innovative equipment includes, as per standard, the availability of 3 blade kits (Y, spoon and vertical) to excel in its use and guarantee great mowing work even with difficult and very high grass on uncultivated lands, fantastic mulching over elegant and well kept lawns, with the important option, in both cases, of also being able to collect the cut grass.
October 2019 is the date when Gianni Ferrari starts the production of his GF3x1PLUS enhanced with SMART SYSTEM technology, the latest patent filed after long studies and intense field tests.
It is a reinforced rotor with blade locking magnetic pins that cannot be moved out of the way even if it accidentally comes into contact with stones and/or large shrubs.
Supplied with the tool, Gianni Ferrari provides a steel tool specifically designed to change the blades in the field in a maximum of 15 minutes or, at the same time, to quickly combine the vertical blades with the other two types of blades in order to include a perfect soil aeration job.
