McConnel has recently launched its new 67-Series Power Arm hedge cutter series. The 67-Series replaces the 65-Series and bridges the gap between it and the 70-Series.

The 67-Series features a 70hp hydraulic system and five arm options with a reach from 5.5m to 7m.

Two fixed booms (5.5m and 6m), two telescopic (6.5m and 7m) and one variable forward-reach version (6m) are available.

Three different control options continue to be offered – Motion, Evolution and Revolution.

The latter can be supplied with McConnel’s Easy Drive System (EDS) to aid and improve verge mowing speeds.

Electric rotor control, Soft-Start rotor engagement and a high-capacity oil cooler are all standard features.

Updates mainly have been cosmetic and include new graphics, LED lights and a restyled hydraulic tank that incorporates a two-piece rear guard for maintenance purposes. The top cover is now made from plastic and has been designed to minimise material buildup.

Aside from three-point linkage mounting, customers can opt for a four-point hitch or five-point axle mounting sub-frame, both of which can be retrofitted.

Special edition

To commemorate the 30-year partnership anniversary between Kverneland Group Ireland and McConnel, all machines sold through the Irish importer during 2023 are being delivered with a special edition livery and 30th anniversary stickers.
