Turfcraft Machinery - National Mower National 8400NATIONAL 8400 & HT7 ('click' image to return...)

We put new hydrostatic power into the National 8400 which makes it even better on slopes. The 8400 also makes tough mowing jobs easier by adding power steering and a more comfortable ride. We also designed it to give you a better cut. Independent Reel and Ground Speeds.

Hydrostatic drive provides independent reel and ground speeds for the finest reel cut of any mower in the industry. You get the same perfect cut at any speed, whether you slow down to trim or speed up for the more open areas.

Why an 8400 Hydrostatic Triplex Mower?

Hydrostatic Drive to Wheels

Easier operation and less operator fatigue

Seat Position

Lowered seat 3" giving lower center of gravity and greater stability on slopes

Power Front Steering

Highly maneuverable, tighter turning, less operator fatigue

Independent Ground and Reel Speed

Fast or slow, reel speed not affected by ground speed for best reel cut.

Electric Reel Clutch

Single switch turns all three reels on and off

Engine Hood Fender

Fenders keep operator cleaner, hood makes for quieter operation

New Controls

You drive this machine, it doesn't drive you

Reel Overhang

Large reel overhang makes for better trimming capabilities
