The ECS controls – do believe the hype

by Exmark on March 09, 2011, under Products

Landscape professionals have often said there’s a lot to love about Exmark mowers.  But there’s only one feature that has inspired something of a movement. It might even border on a cult following.  The ECS controls. Yep, landscape pros are crazy about our exclusive controls.

For those who aren’t familiar with ECS controls, here’s the lowdown on this popular feature:

Ergonomics play a major role in the controls’ design. With ECS, the arms are in a more neutral position so the operator’s joints are in a natural state. With his elbows resting at his side and his arms extended out in front of him, the operator can walk up to an ECS unit and start using it without having to adjust the way he’s standing. This means he’ll experience less strain and hand fatigue. Simply put, using ECS won’t be a pain in the neck. Or hands. Or shoulders.

If you’re used to the old handles, you’ll notice that ECS handles are positioned closer together, keeping hands out of harm’s way and accidents from happening.

Comfort and safety are only a couple of reasons why the ECS controls have caused quite a buzz in the landscaping world. But to truly get it, you’re just going to have to try them out for yourself.

    I think that ECS is the best control option for walk behind lawn mowers. Pistol grip comes nowhere near what the ECS offers. Anyone that hasn’t tried ECS should highly consider. Feel free to visit us at http://www.quesalesinc.com. Thanks for the post!

    ordered all 3 of my walk-behinds with ecs, love them wouldn’t want other steering system (pistol grips), never used though. 2 metros, 1 viking. Just ordered the vantage and love those steering levers as well! I guess you can tell I like (love actually) standing! while mowing! I do have an industrial grade sit down 33 hp diesel 60″ cut ztr for very large fields are yards, but prefer the stand-ups~!
