Introducing the Power Arm 67-Series
McConnel has expanded its range of Power Arms with the introduction of the new-look 67-Series. Available with reach options from 5.0m to 7.0m and powered by high performance 70hp hydraulic system, the new 67-Series has been designed for farmers, contractors and local authorities and features new design style which marks the arrival of McConnel's next-generation Power Arms.
Among the key new features of the machine is the restyled hydraulic tank that incorporates a two-piece rear guard and sculpted polypropylene top cover. Designed to improve access to the hydraulic system, the new rear guard is hinged at one-side to enable quick opening for easy access for maintenance. The new one-piece top-cover is sculpted from impact resistant polypropylene and designed to minimise material build-up and prevent the ingress of dust and moisture.
Customers can choose from five different armsets including 5.5m and 6.0m straight-arms, 6.5m and 7.0m telescopic arms, and a 6.0m Variable Forward Reach (VFR) option. VFR enables operators to position the flailhead alongside the cab for enhanced visibility and comfort. VFR also aids manoeuvrability when cutting around obstacles and working in confined environments such as narrow lanes.
Advanced arm features that are synonymous with McConnel Power Arms such as; Hy-reach geometry, parallel arm geometry, and Power Slew are all standard features on the new 67-Series.
At the heart of the machine is a 70hp gear hydraulic system that utilises McConnel's in-house designed and manufactured hydraulic valve blocked. Designed specifically for McConnel Power Arms, the high-performance hydraulic system includes electric rotor control, Soft-Start rotor engagement and a high-capacity oil cooler as standard.
Three different control packages are available on all models, including the proportional Motion control, Evolution Control, and the range topping REVOLUTION control system, that offers more functionality and can be specified with EDS, McConnel's award winning Easy Drive System which significantly increases verge mowing speeds.
All models utilise a heavy-duty mainframe that's designed for 3-point linkage mounting. Users looking to added further stability or to reduce stresses on tractor linkage can opt for either the 4-point hitch or 5-point axle mounting sub-frame, both of which can be retrofitted.
Precision-engineered in the UK at McConnel's Shropshire production facility, the 67-Series is available with a comprehensive range of attachments including 1.2m, 1.5m and 1.6m flailheads, sawheads, rotary heads and cutterbars.

McConnel introduces new 72-Series and 77-Series Power Arm ranges.
McConnel has introduced two new Power Arm ranges: the 72-Series and the heavier-duty 77-Series. Designed for farmers, contractors, and local authorities, both ranges feature a 70hp hydraulic system with reach options from 5.5m to 7.0m, including Telescopic and VFR options. The 77-Series offers added durability and power with larger diameter pivot pins and an optional 85hp hydraulics system.
Both series include an optional integrated debris blower located within the rear guard, which clears roadside debris and enhances cooling by drawing in cool air over the pumps and tank. Additional new features include LED road lighting, a redesigned hydraulic tank, a two-piece rear guard for easy service access, and a sculpted polypropylene top cover to prevent debris and moisture ingress.
As standard, both series come with McConnel's in-house designed 70hp gear hydraulic system, featuring a 180-litre hydraulic tank, high-capacity oil cooler, electric rotor control, and Soft-Start rotor engagement. The 77-Series also includes larger diameter pivot pins, allowing for a 48% increase in bush area for added durability and longevity. An 85hp hydraulic system is available as an option for the 77-Series for those seeking more power.
Both series are available with 5.5m and 6.0m straight arms, as well as 6.5m and 7.0m telescopic arms. Additionally, a 5.5m and 6.0m Variable Forward Reach (VFR) option is available for both series, providing improved visibility to the cutting head for greater operator comfort. Standard equipment on both includes Hy-Reach arm geometry, parallel arm geometry, and 100 degrees of Power Slew.
Three proportional electric control packages are offered: MOTION control, EVOLUTION Control, and the flagship REVOLUTION control system, which can be paired with McConnel's award-winning Easy Drive System (EDS) for hands-free verge mowing.
All models are built on a heavy-duty mainframe and can be specified with 3-point linkage, 4-point hitch, or 5-point axle mounting options. They can be fitted to tractors over 80hp and 4,000kg dependant on specification and reach.
Manufactured in the UK at McConnel's Ludlow facility, the 72-Series and 77-Series are compatible with a comprehensive range of attachments, including 1.2m, 1.5m, and 1.6m flailheads, sawheads, rotary heads, and cutterbars. Both series are immediately available to order through McConnel's dealer network.
