May - June 2019 | Back

Productivity and comfort, but also precision in manoeuvring and durability over time. These are the strengths of the IS2100Z lawn mower made by Fiaba of Ca­mi­sano Vicentino, a Venetian company specialized in the sector of landscaping machines. Offered both in the version with rear unloading plate (132 and 155 centimetres) and with Triple plate (it performs mulching, side and rear unloading while maintaining the 132 and 155 centimetres size), the IS2100Z offers a cutting height that is adjustable from 3.8 cm to 12.7 cm and comes with a blade holder in aluminium (132 cm plates) or cast iron (on 155 plates), and with iCD or TRIPLE iCD technology for maximum cutting efficiency. Another big plus of the Fiaba lawnmowers are the hydrostatic suspensions, independent on the 4 wheels, integrated Hydro-Gear ZT-4400 with 21 cm cooling fan, which significantly reduce the stress on the frame and, more generally, on the machine. Indeed, the suspension system consists of adjustable rear coaxial dampers and independent front coaxial dampers, which are also adjustable. Conversely, when it comes to the feeding system, the Venetian company opted for Vanguard EFI V-Twin petrol engine with 810 cm³, delivering 28 horsepower. It is an air-cooled engine with electronic injection, sensors and lambda probe. Compared to the versions with a carburettor - the company specifies - the Vanguard EFI V-Twin has a lower fuel consumption, while the Oil Guard system extends the oil life up to 500 hours.  The engine is served by two 21-litre tanks (for a total of 42 litres) and is equipped with an industrial two-stage air filter. On the subject of comfort and ergonomics, we must mention the integrated control panel with drink holder, object holder and fuel level indicator, folding roll bar with safety belt and winder, and the removable footrest to facilitate maintenance.
