Two wheel tractors / conservation mowers / hay making machinery
All Rekord Rapid hydrostatic drive tractors can be fitted with various options to equip them to perform your individual tasks. There are many wheel and tyre options which include semi floatation, large balloon floatation, turf type along with dual and treble wheel combinations and cage wheels for bank work. Hourmeters are included on the engines so that service schedules can be maintained. All models feature a transmission free wheeling device which enables the operator to move the tractor by hand if they don’t wish to start the engine, very useful inside tight sheds or for positioning on trailers. Certain models have the option of electric starters instead of the usual pull start. The ability to work on steep ground is a Rapid speciality. Fitted with the correct wheel equipment, the Rapid hydrostatic drive tractor is safe to operate on the steepest of gradients giving the operator confidence to perform their task. Standard anti vibration damping gives all models excellent low vibration characteristics.

Effortless manouvering via the steering handlebar and progressive forward and reverse travel with tried and tested Rapid Twist Grip Control.
4 x 8 wheels are standard with dual, cage and sprocket wheels available.
54/52mm attachment coupling. Attachments available include finger bar, middle cutting bar and snow plough.
Rapid Mondo
The Mondo is the smallest and most compact tractor in the range. It is in fact, the smallest hydrostatic driven tractor in the world! It features a 9hp petrol engine, hydrostatic transmission and a totally independent PTO system. A tool free quick attach change system allows for many different attachments.

The handlebars are easily adjusted to suit the operator’s height keeping the machine comfortable to use.
This versatile tractor is suitable for use where space is limited, maybe accessing gardens for landscapers or smallholders through to large open spaces where a light weight tractor is required in wet lands such as reed beds. When used with the correct wheel type, such as dual or cage wheels, then the Mondo can be used on steep ground for operations such a grass cutting or alternatively with the single wheels set narrow, it’s ideal for jobs such as rotavating. It’s able to perform all these tasks thanks to its ability to work in two directions. The handlebars simply rotate, allowing the drive wheels to be either behind the attachment for jobs such as mowing or in front of the attachment for cultivation jobs. Whichever way the handlebars are, the controls remain the same making the Mondo a safe and easy tractor to operate.

Obviously, this makes the machine much easier to use for the operator.
