When the terrain becomes too steep for wheels and too dangerous for traditional walk-behinds, the Husqvarna GX 560 petrol hover mower takes flight. Engineered specifically for the professional landscaper and the homeowner with challenging embankments, this machine utilizes a high-performance air cushion to “float” over the grass, providing 360-degree maneuverability that wheeled mowers simply cannot match. Powered by a specialized Honda GCV engine designed to maintain constant lubrication at extreme angles, the GX 560 eliminates the engine-seizure risks that plague standard mowers on slopes. It doesn’t just cut grass; it glides across it, leaving a clean, manicured finish on gradients up to 45 degrees. For those maintaining golf course bunkers, roadside verges, or tiered gardens, the GX 560 is the industry standard for safety and speed where gravity usually wins.
Exclusive Performance Features for Slope Dominance
-
Honda GCV 170 Slop-Ready Engine: Featuring a specialized fuel pump and oil return system, this engine is factory-certified to run at continuous steep angles without losing power or damaging internal components.
-
Frictionless Air-Cushion Technology: By generating a powerful downward downdraft, the mower lifts off the ground, reducing the effort required to push and pull it in any direction—making it feel weightless even on heavy growth.
-
High-Impact ABS Polymer Deck: The corrosion-proof deck is engineered for industrial durability while remaining significantly lighter than steel, allowing the mower to achieve higher “lift” and better flotation over uneven turf.
-
Multi-Directional Agility: Because it has no wheels, the GX 560 can move sideways and diagonally. This allows you to mow across the face of a slope or around tight obstacles with a fluid motion that saves time and energy.
-
Advanced Impeller System: A precision-engineered fan maximizes airflow to create a stable cushion of air while simultaneously pulling the grass upright for a crisp, even cut every time.
-
Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Blades: Equipped with a high-velocity metal blade system that provides the rotational inertia needed to mulch through thick, damp grass often found on shaded banks.
-
Compact Folding Ergo-Handle: The handle is designed to fold over the deck in seconds, making the GX 560 easy to transport in small vans or store on wall-mounted brackets in crowded sheds.
-
Enhanced Operator Safety: By allowing the user to stand at a distance or on flatter ground while swinging the mower across a bank, it significantly reduces the risk of slips and falls compared to traditional mowers.
