When it comes to safety and handling the toughest terrain, Mitch Burn of MJB Contracting Services and his RC Mowers R-60 make a very capable combination.

Working remote

Life in underground mining undoubtedly has its fascination, but fitter Mitch Burn felt a career change into work with less travel and more time in the fresh air and sunshine was called for.

While launching into the RC Mowers R-60 might seem like a very big step to a casual onlooker, it wasn't so much of a stretch for Mitch as it might seem at first glance.

Research driven

“I’ve had dry-hire machines in the past,” Mitch told Landscape Contractor, “but it was always a side venture. When I wanted to make a full-time change I thought I’d look for something a bit niche. I thought this type of property maintenance would be something to work into.”

Mitch did plenty of research before laying down his hard-earned on the R-60.

“I looked at pretty much everything else available,” he told us, “and in all the reviews I’d seen the R60 was rated really highly.
