	Gianni Ferrari Compact GTM Commercial ZT/front-mount supplier Gianni Ferrari Australia has released a compact mower suitable for commercial users and discerning consumers. The GTM has a narrow 80cm (32”) deck, so it can pass through standard garden gates (90cm/36”) and reach areas that are hard to access such as rear gardens. While not a ZT, GTM’s manoeuvrability comes from its tight turning circle. Because the unit has a 280L integrated catcher, clippings can be easily removed, if desired. The catcher can be easily emptied from the operator’s seat. The deck has floating blades that can be sharpened or changed without either removing or lifting the deck. A quick-release coupling allows a hosepipe to be quickly attached for cleaning. There are two engine options: 15.5hp B&S or 16hp Vanguard V-twin. A 19L fuel tank is standard. Other features include sprung high-back seat, solft grip steering wheel, auto-style parking brake, hourmeter and electric PTO.

The air-cooled range incorporates direct injection technology and full pressure lubrication, for lower fuel consumption and superior cooling and performance. “Fullflow” oil filters provide longer engine and component life. The water-cooled diesels have belt-driven, overhead cams with low-turbulence for quiet operation. Additionally, the cast iron blocks provide the durability and performance. Kohler Diesels offers a wide range of spare and replacement parts suitable for Kohler Diesel engines and all Lombardini and Ruggerini Diesels.

	Silvan Selecta Diesel Dry-Break Diesel fuel waste can be reduced dramatically with the Selecta Diesel Dry Break Connector. The 25mm (1”) quality machined brass Connector is in two parts and simply snaps tightly together. Immediately that the link is broken or disconnected, internal valves immediately shut off stopping the Diesel flow. This means that the flow from the storage or delivery source will stop immediately ensuring there is no backflow or leakage from the delivery end of the hose or gun eliminating spillage (ne of the main causes of hydro-carbon pollution). For bulk storers of diesel such as local governments, public works, parks & gardens, mining or civil construction contractors, a Dry Break Connector installed in a diesel delivery line will protect against the risk of fuel pilferage and spills and the costs typically absorbed by spill clean-up. A complete connector is 11.3cm long and both hose ends have a 25mm (one inch) BSP threaded hose fittings. The connector is covered by a twelve-month warranty. For more information contact Silvan, 246-266 Greens Road (POB4453) Dandenong South 3164; 89 Lewis Road, Wantirna South 3152; (03) 9215 2700 F: (03) 9215 2701 W: www.silvanagcess.com.au.
