Revolutionizing Tractor Lawn Mower
Introduction of the HDLM Tractor-Trailed Lawn Mower Series
In 1984, Suhail Tufail, building on Liberal's growing portfolio, worked closely with local authorities to manage and maintain vast public parks. One of the biggest challenges at the time was the maintenance of large green fields, which led to the development of an innovative solution. For the first time, Suhail introduced the tractor-trail mower, combining cylinder lawn mower blades up to 60 inches with a ride-on option for easy operation while being towed by a tractor. This breakthrough resulted in the launch of two models: the HDLM 48 and HDLM 60, both of which became game-changers in the lawn care industry across Pakistan. These models set a new benchmark for heavy-duty lawn mowers, and proudly, they are still in working condition today, standing as a testament to their durability and innovation.v
