1958年出版的《机械
画报》(Mechanix Illustrated)
刊登了这款神奇小子X-100,一款空调割草机概念。
The concept was by manufacturer Simplicity and, unsurprisingly, never reached production.
这个概念是由制造商Simplicity提出的,不出所料,从未投入生产。
Today, however, something very similar exists. Massachusetts-based
Curtis Industries
, a manufacturer of tractor cabs, has partnered with mower manufacturer Ferris to create this
ISX3300 with Premium AC Cab
.
然而,今天存在着非常相似的东西。总部位于马萨诸塞州
的柯蒂斯工业公司
是一家拖拉机驾驶室制造商,该公司与割草机制造商费里斯合作,制造了这款
带有高级AC驾驶室的ISX3300
。
It's got an aluminum frame, tinted polycarbonate windows and, most gloriously for the operator, an air-conditioned cab.
它有一个铝框架,有色聚碳酸酯窗户,最令操作员自豪的是,一个空调驾驶室。
Priced at $11,123.75, it's out-of-reach for your average homeowner, but not that much more than a commercial zero-turn. And it's the commercial market the company is targeting.
售价为11123.75美元,这是遥不可及的平均房主,但没有那么多比商业零转。这是该公司瞄准的商业市场。
Curtis points out that aside from the air conditioning, the sealed cab protects the operator from insects and dust. That last one might sound trivial, but as someone who puts in a lot of hours mowing, I'll say the dust can be horrific. If I did it for a living and all day, I'd much rather spend the extra money, and not finish each session drenched in sweat, covered in lawn debris and having coughing fits.
柯蒂斯指出,除了空调,密封驾驶室保护操作员免受昆虫和灰尘。最后一个可能听起来微不足道,但作为一个花了很多时间割草的人,我会说灰尘是可怕的。如果我整天都这样做,我宁愿花额外的钱,而不是完成每一个会议湿透了汗水,覆盖在草坪碎片和咳嗽发作。
The machine is also freaking fast, for a mower. In the real-world review below, the reviewer shows it maxing out at 12 mph. That's more lawns done in a day.
对于割草机来说,这台机器也非常快。在下面的现实世界的审查,审查显示它最高时速为12英里。一天能修这么多草坪。
