In the growing season grass needs to be mowed regularly and between April and October operators spend a large amount of time in the cab. For the drivers who work for the Greens Department of the city of Wolfsburg this is more of a pleasure than a hardship thanks to the very comfortable conditions that the Multihog offers. Workshop Manager Bernd Schlüter says: “They are really impressed with the roomy cab and the deep air cushioned seat, and given that we used the Multihog last year for over 700 hours of mowing this makes a crucial contribution to the wellbeing of our staff.”
One of the main reasons Wolfsburg City acquired the Multihog was to increase the mowing capacity and capabilities and thanks to the machine’s top speed of 40km/h and its ability to drive independently from one job to the next it easily covers the distances to keep up with the allotted mowing schedule.
A rotary mower attachment is used to cut the 110ha of grass and parklands in the city, surrounding municipalities and around reservoirs. As is the case with many customers Wolfsburg’s Multihog is made ready for winter clearance at the end of autumn. The attachments – a snow plough and a salt spreader – were not used very often during the last winter season due to relatively mild weather, but when bad weather strikes the Multihog can be put into action.
“We are 100% happy with the Multihog, says Mr. Schlüter. “I have had a lot of experience with equipment from other manufacturers but in comparison this machine is much more robust, quicker and its size and performance are ideal for our requirements.”
“My operators love the Multihog. Even the bigger operators tell me how much more comfortable it is."
"We’re cleaning the streets more efficiently, so that is definitely an environmental benefit for our city."
"The Multihogs were ideal for us. As they’re much lighter than our old machines, we can use them to remove snow from our boardwalks and sidewalks."
"The driving experience absolutely convinced me. I love driving it, the suspension is amazing. To be honest, the comfort level could not be better."
I knew it must be a really good piece of equipment, and my instincts were right - our two machines have been operating flawlessly.
“Since the purchase of our first Multihog in 2019, they have proven to be a valuable asset in our machinery fleet."
"I recognized straight away that a Multihog could serve our city well. We’ve got 8 attachments for it, and it’s taken the place of multiple machines."
"Apart from the environmental benefits, it’s also really, really comfortable to drive and I'm relieved that it has improved our operational safety."
“Our cycle paths are very neat in just one sweep/working passage. This ensures the safety of our residents, especially during autumn and winter."
“From a maintenance standpoint we have far fewer problems and downtime than other similar equipment in our fleet."
“Our MH outperforms our older snow blower by at least 200%. It can handle all types of snow with a greater output and much faster.”
"The suspension really allows an incredibly high level of driver comfort, and we’re amazed by the performance of the PTO hydraulics."
"The Multihog has performed very well on the reliability front compared to other machines. It’s a really solid and extremely strong machine."
"My colleagues are so much happier using this machine. It’s more ergonomic, warm and comfortable for them."
"Our 2 machines can do so many things, and although they’re small and compact, they’re so well built that they do the work of much larger equipment"
"The Multihog puts us at a professional level that’s unmatched by our competition"
"The Multihogs are working really well for us. The operators have found them straightforward to use and we hope to add to our range of attachments."
"The Multihog doesn’t vibrate like our old machine, and it’s so quiet I don’t even need to wear ear protection - no post-shift fatigue anymore!"
DHL at Leipzig-Halle airport operate a fleet of 12 Multihog tractors equipped with combi snow plough & brush attachments, de-icing sprayers and V snow
"It’s one machine that does it all - safely and efficiently. Very comfortable in the cabin too, which makes work more enjoyable for the operator."
"The only way to compare the Multihog to other machines is to compare the comfort of an old vintage car to a brand new car. - there is no comparison"
"At that point the snow is super dense, icy and solid; it’s pretty hard to shift, but it’s no problem for the MX. This tractor is really, really good"
"Our asphalt grinding process is faster and more efficient now, we tested it and we’re definitely covering more feet per hour than before"
"The Multihog is a different animal from anything we’ve ever had – the articulation, rubberised tyres and 4-wheel drive ticks a lot of our boxes."
“We try to improve our operations with each new purchase of equipment & this has certainly been the case with the acquisition of our Multihogs"
