McConnel's innovative 75 series sets standards for performance, productivity and precision
Designed for farmers, contractors, and local government teams, McConnel’s innovative 75 series Power Arms come with a choice of five different reach options from 5.6m to 8.0m, are powered by 70hp high-performance hydraulics, and are built to last from Stenx (Domex) steel.
The most radical enhancement is the new cooling and hydraulic system which delivers an outstanding de-aeration performance; very low overall flow velocity; and eliminates areas in the tank where resting oil can concentrate.
This unique design improves efficiency, performance and durability, ensures consistent cooling in all weather conditions, and reduces heat build-up.
The 75 series has been designed to get the best from REVOLUTION – McConnel’s market-leading eight-function proportional control system which features outstanding joystick precision, fully customisable controls, and simple but sophisticated software developed in-house exclusively for McConnel Power Arms.
REVOLUTION comes complete with the award-winning Easy Drive System (EDS) for faster ‘hands-free’ verge mowing speeds in undulating terrain. EDS automatically adjusts to the contours of the ground more 30 times a second - reducing operator input and fatigue. It enhances comfort and visibility and can increase working speeds by up to 4.5 times the norm.
Customers can choose from four different armsets including: Standard, Telescopic, Variable Forward Reach, and Telescopic Variable Forward Reach(Tele-VFR).
The advanced Tele-VFR armset enables operators to position the flailhead alongside the cab for greater visibility, while offering extra reach on demand for manoeuvrability.
Other market-leading features include:
- McConnel’s acclaimed 3-point and 4-point hitch mounting systems which are easy to fit and deliver a highly stable cutting platform.
- TwinCut – the world’s first dual rotor flailhead tackles mature hedgerows in a single-pass, producing a heavy-duty cut and a perfect finish in a single operation – saving time and fuel costs and increasing the amount of work achieved in a day. The first rotor is equipped with a heavy-duty T-flail which cuts in a downward direction, finely mulching the material and reducing the debris blown forward. Set 50mm lower, the second rotor cuts in an upward direction and is equipped with a fine-cut competition flail.
- F14 Flails –the first flail ever developed which can cut everything from grass to mature hedgerows. Its weight-efficient design ensures an exceptional heavy-duty cutting performance without the need for a more powerful machine driving heavier flails.
- Widest range of attachments: The 75 Series is available with 28 different attachment options including: Ditch Cleaners, Cutterbars, Rotary Heads, and Multi Saws.

Maximise Efficiency with McConnel PowerBoost
McConnel 85-Series Power Arms can be equipped with POWERBOOST technology, delivering faster arm movements for enhanced productivity when hedge cutting, verge mowing, and working around obstacles.
Powered by McConnel’s unique hydraulic technology, POWERBOOST provides a substantial boost in oil flow to the arm circuit exactly when needed. This instant and progressive increase speeds up arm movements by up to three times, enabling operators to complete time-consuming manoeuvres more efficiently.
With progressive sensitivity, the arm speed seamlessly adjusts to joystick input, ensuring optimal control and accuracy. Operators can also tailor joystick sensitivity and arm speed to perfectly suit the task at hand via the REVOLUTION control screen.
