BOB-CAT has reached its goal of 2011 EPA exhaust
emission engine compliance throughout its mower
line. This year, through advanced engine technology that
includes new Kawasaki FX & FS Series engines as well as units that
feature digital fuel injection and propane-power offerings, the line even
more so will live up to its “green machine” designation. The new
Predator-Pro 37hp DFI, with digital fuel injection, will provide an
increase in fuel economy of up to 30% while significantly
increasing engine performance through an Electronic
Governor (E-Gov). Plus, the new LP-61 zero-turn rid-
ing mower features a 30hp Generac 990 propane
engine that uses the same common liquid with-
drawal propane tanks and technology that propane
forklift trucks use. BOBCATTurf.com
