Since 1988, American Encore has been enriching the green industry with a complete line of high-quality mowers. The machines are easy to maintain, have very precise blade alignment and robust durability. Encore is distributed worldwide. For the Benelux, Herco Machinery is the exclusive importer, with a carefully selected range of official dealers.
The Encore range includes four versions with Kawasaki FR/FX engines from 18.5 to 23.5 hp, with speeds from 11 to 20 mph. All machines come standard with a mulching cutting deck with both the highest and lowest cutting height on the market. Their extreme maneuverability makes them very efficient and smooth to operate, with great attention to comfort and ease of use.
They are also fans at Merksplas Botanical Garden. Curator/secretary Wout Oprins: "Our botanical garden especially wants to be an inspiration and demonstration for everyone with a heart for gardening. After all, much more is possible in Belgian gardens than is usually assumed. We work in the botanical garden mainly with volunteers, such as gardeners Jozef & Ive Eysermans - father and son, both nicknamed 'The Micky'. Jozef joined us in 2017 and Ive took over two years later, after the death of his father. He has already been busy with his Encore turf machine. Between 7 and 8 hours a day is no exception. The Encore's punishing ergonomic qualities allow for that. And of course the two levers - instead of a handlebar - provide thorough maneuverability, allowing effortless maneuvering around all kinds of obstacles. Even on wet grass, without damaging it. So Ive, and by extension Plantentuin Merksplas, is extremely pleased with this powerhouse!"
