Challenger
Commercial Series
Country Clipper has created the Challenger Commercial Series Zero- Turn Mower for the modern demands of commercial and heavy residential landscaping. With additional speed, fuel capacity and cutting width, the Challenger covers more ground faster at no loss in efficiency. And while heavier use means greater maintenance needs, the Challenger is everything but when it comes to routine servicing. The easily -accessible stand-up deck makes taking a look under the hood easier than ever.
