Pitbull Plus. Same as the Pitbull but with a big fat bum and an 1100mm wide cut. Along with the Pitbull's complete disregard for any vegetation put in front of it the Pitbull Plus remote controlled all terrain mower runs two pairs of fangs and delights in the same destruction.
You have a choice of 5 engines from 16 Hp up to a 810cc Briggs and Stratton Vee Twin.
This machine only comes with the heavy-duty remote-control handset.
So imagine you have this handset in your hands, you have an ugly job ahead of you, a machine that has almost no limits on where it can go and the power to get there. A job you used to dread or put off because it was hard work or dangerous.
Except now you have a smile on your face and excitement in your posture.
- A steep overgrown dam bank or drain. Done in minutes, what's next?
- A patch of lantana. Haha, who has just a patch? Imagine getting your property back and then keeping it? Imagine seeing it for the first time. What does this do to the value of your land once the grass grows back?
- Blackberries. Low profile and full body protected. Punch in hard slicing under the overhanging canes and dissect the centre effortlessly. Very satisfying. 30 seconds and gone. If they come back, mow them again. Easy, and no further need for poison.
- Gorse bush, agapanthus and other thick growing plants that keep getting bigger. Another problem child tamed.
- Grass. These machines will not be as fast as a ride on. Hi/Lo ratio at the flick of a switch. 0-6/0-3 Km/h allows faster travel when the going is easy and low speed for when caution is required. Remember, a Pitbull Plus eats anything placed in its jaws.
- Long grass. Caution is needed when first mowing in extreme conditions. My mower fell down a wombat hole on a 45-degree (it seemed like it) hill one day when demonstrating. It didn't like the 2 metre drop as it went over the edge and decided to start rolling downhill. The thoughts going thru my head at this point as I contemplate a further 100 metres of rolling. What will be left? To our complete disbelief, after about 5 rolls the mower landed upside down in another wombat hole and decided it didn't like rolling any more. Cause of the accident and saviour from further troubles. We couldn't see the hole because we were 50 metres above and too lazy to walk down the hill. I might fit a towrope so it can tow my old body back up the hill.
- Very long grass. The first cut is the worst because often you have no idea what is in the long grass. One method I recommend is the punch method. Punch in hard using the weight of the machine and the traction of the tracks for about 5 metres. These machines mow in both directions and can swap direction instantly. Reverse out somewhere else then punch in again working in and out while moving sideways.
- Very thick long grass
- Very thick long grass with dropped gumtree branches. My 7.5 Hp Typhoon with 500mm cut was dissecting dropped branches up to 2 inches in diameter with surprising ease. Since the 16 Hp Pitbull Plus has 1100mm cut it would be twice the size and the same performance. The bigger branches take a little time but they do get digested.

More power is available for those who can't wait. - Winery or orchard. Slip easily and safely under low hanging branches and fruit without risk of a poke in the eye. Short wheelbase makes the Pitbull Plus an easy machine to maneuver.
- Solar farms. Here is a job this machine loves. Low profile slips under panels. No more bending down or poison.
- The property is steep. I don't like climbing hills yet somehow, I will meander up and down a paddock supervising the machine quite happily when demonstrating. I get to the end of the day, sit down on the couch and think "What just happened?" but I feel good. The difficulty with hills is carrying the equipment. Now the only thing carried is the handset. I stand and walk where I get best vantage point and I don't need to race or keep up with the machine. I have a relaxing and enjoyable day doing an impossible job for someone.
- Soft ground. The 150mm wide steel belted rubber tracks with chunky knobby tread simply walk over anything placed in front of them. Water crossings aren't recommended sorry. Why? The drive is twin 1.5Hp maintenance free brushless electric motors coupled to high torque gearboxes. They are mounted high in a well protected position but boys will be boys so stay away from water crossings.
- One of the hassles with ride-on's is swapping from forward to reverse and back again repeatedly and rapidly. My neck gets crinked trying to see when I reverse and my body bashed. It is fun, but I am old. Now I stand back and see if I can get it to lift the front doing a mono or how far I can slide it sideways on a steep hill. I may be "old" but these things bring out the boy in me.
- Pretty much any vegetation that until now has been very expensive to have removed because nature fights back with prickles, thorns, holes, stumps, overhanging branches, inaccessible terrain, be toxic to touch or breathe or maybe there are snakes in there. Who cares, stand back and punch it in. Gain control of your property and you decide who stays where. No more squatters.
- Don't want to risk your $100,000 tractor? Mosey in with an $8000 one instead.
Now that you know what you want to cut, the next big decision comes.
Which motor?
First consideration- fuel consumption.
How much fuel do you want to burn that you don't need to?
The 426cc 16 Hp will burn half the fuel the 700cc + bigger motors do and if you aren't really using the extra horsepower this extra cost adds up over time. The 22 Hp is a 608cc beast of a machine and it takes a lot to stop.
BUT ......
A single cylinder will always sound like a common lawn mower.
I'm going to confess. There is something primal about the beat of the vee twin that tickles something basic in my soul. Better torque distribution with a backup bang following the first bang immediately giving a punching power that can't be beat.
Which brand? Local brands Loncin and Rato are becoming known worldwide. I have had no problems with any motors that weren't caused by operator exuberance.
Briggs and Stratton? Made in China, probably in the same factory as the local brands but backed up by the worldwide parts dealer network. Your call.
