McConnel General Manager Christian Davies, said: “Payen offers a tried and trusted national sales network; unrivalled skill and expertise in McConnel machinery; and a major commitment to customer service with high levels of stock and parts.
“We’re excited about the long-term development of this partnership and believe it will lead to new opportunities for both companies in one of Europe’s key marketplaces.”
Payen General Manager Olivier Deneufbourg said the extension to our distribution agreement with McConnel gives Payen the opportunity to offer our customers a complete range of market-leading vegetation management machinery.
He said: “McConnel is a worldwide market-leader with a proven reputation for quality and innovation. The addition of McConnel’s popular Flex-Wing Rotary Mowers to our distribution agreement enables us to offer a complete range of premium quality machines to our customers that we are extremely excited about”
McConnel and Payen have already started working together to showcase the comprehensive range of new Flex-Wing Rotary Mowers and will be taking them on extensive demonstration tours throughout France later this year.

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.
