Westwood W16-4WD out-front mower mowing grass on slope

W16-4WD

Featuring Westwood’s renowned four-wheel drive system, the W16-4WD gives you the extra grip you need when it counts.

Near 50/50 weight distribution offers perfect balance and control on slopes and undulating ground. When the slopes get too steep for 2WD, 4TRAC senses the need for more traction and automatically engages drive to all four wheels.

The ESA (Electronic Slope Alert) monitors the operating angle of the W Series and warns when approaching a slope too steep for safe mowing.
