www.mcconnelrevolution.com REVOLUTION is a state of the art multi-function reach arm control system that enables users to tackle a huge variety of work tasks; offers huge strides in productivity, safety and reliability; and enables precise fingertip control for outstanding manoeuvrability. McConnel’s REVOLUTION is the first control package ever developed which gives operators full proportional control of up to eight different functions. Simple to use, yet highly sophisticated, REVOLUTION blows away outdated and generic control systems - delivering outstanding one-handed control and the best feature set in the industry. Key features include:
Full colour display - The 5.5 inch high-resolution display is the best on the market and is unique for its size and quality. The screen can be mounted

in the software driving the system. Programs have been developed, tested and perfected inhouse to ensure customers receive fit-forpurpose software that helps them tackle the toughest jobs quickly and easily. EDS – McConnel’s automatic verge flotation system allows users to work at speeds of up to 18km/h – compared to a maximum of just 4km/h on machines which do not have this feature. EDS also slashes the amount of input needed – dramatically reducing operator fatigue.
Intuitive software – McConnel’s design philosophy is to take the complicated and make it simple and nowhere is this more evident than
Customer Experience
Pembrokeshire contractor Mathew Williams believes Revolution is a huge step forward in control: He says: "I was used to all-on, all-off controls, so the large number of proportional controls you get with REVOLUTION are a big improvement over other systems and give a lot more precision. "I really like the way the controls can be mapped to the joystick so you have everything you need at your fingertips. The system allows you to do a lot of complex operations, but it’s easy to pick up and the learning curve lasts less than a day."

Easy Drive System The revolutionary handsfree Easy Drive System (EDS) for increased verge mowing speeds
EDS - The Facts
››› ››› ››› ››› ››› ›››
Automatically follows ground contours Significantly increases working speed
Unique Safety Features Provides total hands-free cruise control Reduces operator fatigue Responds 30 times a second No additional pivots, bushes, linkages, springs or weight The patented Easy Drive System (EDS) provides hands-free cruise control operation at much greater speeds, increasing both efficiency and safety. Head and lift float are automatically controlled and allow faster mowing speeds irrespective of the Power Arm reach position. The EDS system provides more accurate, responsive control over arm and flailhead float. This reduces operator fatigue and is ideal for precise verge mowing where speed and efficiency is essential.
See EDS in action at www.mcconnel.com/videos/
54
The EDS system eliminates the need for the operator to move their hand or fingers around any auxiliary functions.
The EDS cruise control function incorporates a unique safety feature allowing the operator to instantly disengage/engage by touching the joystick. How it Works The EDS system comprises of two electrical sensors or potentiometers fitted on two pivot points on the Power Arm’s king post - the par
allel linkage and the lift ram. The sensor in the parallel linkage pivot point monitors flail head movements by measuring the turning angle of the pin during operation, as does the sensor on the lift ram pivot point. Readings from both sensors are sent digitally to a Canbus system on the proportional control system inside the cab. This in turn informs the Power Arm’s hydraulic system how much ram pressure is required to allow the arm and flailhead to float over changing ground contours.
Without EDS

*
kph
Advantages With readings taken every 30 milliseconds, pressure in the lift rams is altered very rapidly so the flailhead does not bounce over ground contours. As a result, the Power Arm can be operated at higher speeds when verge mowing. The proportional control system is housed inside an ergonomically designed armrest and sends ‘digital’ signals down a 4-wire Canbus loom to operate all the machines solenoid functions including electronic rotor control. This replaces the more conventional wiring looms
›››
With EDS
18
*
kph
Sensors are built into the machine mainframe near the centre of the machine and are therefore away from the harsh working environment of the flailhead. There are no additional pivots, bushes, linkages, springs or additional weight added to the arm or flailhead (A sensor is fitted to the main arm pivot pin at the mainframe, and pressure sensor in the lift ram). There are no electric cables running down the length of the arms which could be vulnerable to damage.
Customer Experience
Cheshire contractor Paul Harding believes McConnel’s innovative Easy Drive System offers an impressive increase in working speed and is an essential tool for any verge mowing professional. Paul said: “I tried out a few machines and discovered McConnel’s EDS enabled me to work much more quickly while still offering the best quality. “I can work between one and three gears higher using a McConnel than I can with one of the competition models. This is a significant difference and it gives me a big advantage because I can work faster, save time, and still deliver an excellent cut.”

Dual Rotor Rotation
Rotor Control
Downward Cutting
Dual Rotor Rotation can be controlled from the tractor seat via cable control lever or from the electric controls if applicable.
When using cable rotor controls the user can change the direction of the rotor manually. Push the lever forward for upward cutting and back for downward cutting.
Cable Rotor Control Lever
Upward Cutting Power Arms with Totally independent hydraulic systems are fitted with dual rotor rotation as standard. This allows the rotor to spin clockwise for upward cutting and anti-clockwise for downward cutting. Downward Cutting
It is recommended that you cut downward as it minimises the risk of flying debris by throwing the cut debris into the hedge. Upward Cutting
Changing the rotor direction to cut upwards will produce a smoother finish.
Electric Rotor Control
Simply press the allocated button to select rotor direction. Dual rotation is available on all Power Arms with electric controls.

Shakaerator Features Vibration Unit
Unlike conventional subsoilers McConnel Shakaerators have a patented vibration unit which reduces draught when in work. As a result less horsepower is required compared to a subsoiler without a vibration unit.
The unique design of McConnel Shakaerator legs ensures subsoil is not mixed with top-soil, but is heaved and aerate. Conventional cultivator legs turn the soil and bring unwanted subsoil to the surface

Leg Configuration
McConnel's revolutionary new gas-strut pressure release system offers the very best in break back protection, safeguarding the legs of our 2012-spec Discaerators and Shakaerators in even the toughest conditions.
All McConnel Shakaerators can be fitted with different leg configurations to suit soil types and tractor horse power. Closer spacing of legs reduces draught as each shank helps its neighbour.
Both the gas-strut and hydraulic break back legs have a fast-acting autoreset function which allows the legs to reset fully without the need for operator input.
››› ››› ››› ››› ›››
The mechanical option has a four-life shear bolt system which breaks when the legs hit a foreign object.
