<strong>Rapid</strong> <strong>UNIVERSO</strong> – staightforward, robust<br />
and efficient technology for horticultural<br />
and agricultural applications<br />
The <strong>Rapid</strong> Universo comb<strong>in</strong>es power with ease <strong>of</strong> use. Thanks to <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Rapid</strong> Wendematic ® , <strong>the</strong> handlebar can be swivelled 230° without any<br />
need for tools. All <strong>the</strong> operat<strong>in</strong>g elements adapt <strong>the</strong>ir function to <strong>the</strong><br />
handlebar position. This makes <strong>the</strong> <strong>Rapid</strong> Universo user-friendly and<br />
flexible. It can be used to carry out all k<strong>in</strong>ds <strong>of</strong> daily tasks pr<strong>of</strong>essionally<br />
and efficiently.<br />

The keys to success<br />
• Hydrostatic travel drive for cont<strong>in</strong>uously<br />

without any need for clutch operation<br />
and gear shift<strong>in</strong>g<br />
• Active hand lever steer<strong>in</strong>g for easy and<br />
precise steer<strong>in</strong>g, even when work<strong>in</strong>g on<br />
difficult terra<strong>in</strong> and with heavy implements<br />
• Handlebar can be swivelled and rotated<br />
without tools. Thanks to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Rapid</strong><br />
Wendematic ® <strong>the</strong> rotary grip and steer<strong>in</strong>g<br />
are always operated <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> same way<br />
• Tool-free handlebar height adjustment<br />
• Two power take-<strong>of</strong>f speeds so that <strong>the</strong><br />
optimum rotational speed can be<br />
ensured for any attachment<br />
• Free wheel change function for<br />
manoeuvr<strong>in</strong>g without eng<strong>in</strong>e power<br />
• Wide variety <strong>of</strong> attachments<br />

"Because <strong>of</strong> its user-friendl<strong>in</strong>ess, <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Rapid</strong> Universo is very popular at our tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />
centre." Pr<strong>in</strong>cipal Erich Affentranger<br />
takes up <strong>the</strong> baton: "The <strong>Rapid</strong> Universo<br />
is a multifunctional mach<strong>in</strong>e, which<br />
makes it very cost-effective to use."

Dead man handle<br />
If, for any reason, <strong>the</strong> operator lets go<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dead man handle, <strong>the</strong> eng<strong>in</strong>e<br />
switches <strong>of</strong>f immediately <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>terest<br />

Storage area<br />
The handy tool compartment is big<br />
enough to hold everyth<strong>in</strong>g you need for<br />
daily ma<strong>in</strong>tenance.<br />
Hand lever steer<strong>in</strong>g<br />
As soon as you operate <strong>the</strong> hand lever,<br />
active steer<strong>in</strong>g is enabled. The drive<br />
wheels <strong>the</strong>n rotate at different speeds so<br />
that precise manoeuvres can be carried<br />
out with ease. This saves wear<strong>in</strong>g out <strong>the</strong><br />
operator and is also good for <strong>the</strong> ground.<br />
Eng<strong>in</strong>e<br />
There is a choice <strong>of</strong> easy-start powerful<br />
petrol and diesel eng<strong>in</strong>es that<br />
represent <strong>the</strong> state <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> art <strong>in</strong> terms<br />
<strong>of</strong> performance and emissions.<br />
Additional weights<br />
Optional additional weights for improved<br />
traction or to counterbalance heavy attachments.<br />
The weights are easy to mount or<br />
remove by hand.<br />
Tyres<br />
Flexible range <strong>of</strong> tyres and comb<strong>in</strong>ation<br />
options tailored to your needs for<br />
optimum traction accord<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong><br />
specific application.<br />
Swivel handlebar<br />
The low-vibration swivel handlebar<br />
allows <strong>the</strong> operator to walk beh<strong>in</strong>d<br />
or <strong>in</strong> front <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mach<strong>in</strong>e comb<strong>in</strong>ation,<br />
depend<strong>in</strong>g on <strong>the</strong> nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Universal walk-beh<strong>in</strong>d<br />
tractors can be used for<br />
multiple purposes. This<br />
makes <strong>the</strong>m cheaper to buy and run<br />
than if you had lots <strong>of</strong> separate s<strong>in</strong>glepurpose<br />
mach<strong>in</strong>es. It also means that<br />
less storage space is required. Because<br />
<strong>the</strong> operator can use <strong>the</strong> same basic<br />
mach<strong>in</strong>e throughout all <strong>the</strong> <strong>seasons</strong>,<br />
<strong>the</strong>y get to know it <strong>in</strong>side out, which<br />
