The Lawn mower with a character. It is hydrostatically controlled forward and reverse with an electro-magnetic clutch for the blades it is also equipped with a diff-lock and front brakes. It is ideal for cutting high grass, coppice if you get that here in NZ and blackberry bushes on slopes or undulating ground.
Thanks to its high performing 16 HP engine, The Grillo CL7.16 is able to work safely and efficiently in the maintenance of rustic areas, in agriculture and in the greenery Market.
The extreme manoeuvrability, along with smooth steering and the speed makes this Grillo Climber 7.16 quick and efficient, but at the same time is so simple and easy to use. A grass-cutter which can be operated by most people! INCLUDING the WIFE...
The single rotary bar blade, cutting deck has an 85 cm cutting width. The robust structure of the cutting deck is able to handle stones and other type of debris with no problem. The large diameter blade and the cutting deck’s drive ensure reliability under very heavy working conditions and over long periods of time and also safely.
The cutting deck’s blade is made of special moulded steel and has a specifically designed profile to reduce noise, the blade tips are sharpened on both sides, (once they are worn you can simply reverse them for another cutting life) and are also of the swing back type configuration, this helps to protect the blade shaft, should an unseen object be struck. The cutting deck is equipped with side protections that can be raised, making cleaning and maintenance work much easier.


The Climber 7.16 is compact with a low centre of gravity and futures optimal weight distribution and has been designed to obtain maximum stability and maximum safety for the operator. The reduced ground clearance makes the Climber 7.16 ideal for working under low positioned branches etc…
The seat which is located low down on the machine (the lowest in this kind of category), the powerfull V twin engine, again positioned low in the vertical axis, the cutting deck placed exactly between the 4 wheels and the battery housed over the front axle, contributes to the machine’s extraordinarily stable and safe behaviour when working on slopes.
The extremely small turning radius of just 45 cm ensures tight areas are no problem.
The pivoting front axle and the “Tractor” profile tyres ensures grip and drive also on uneven grounds with little adherence. The Grillo Climber 7.16 will climb slopes in safety.
With the aim to further increase the operator’s safety, the Climber 7.16 is fitted with a series of drum brakes on each front wheel and is activated via a foot pedal.
The front wheels are anti-puncture treated making work in the most hostile areas possible!


Transmission consists of a hydrostatic axis equipped with an oil cooling fan, which is absolutely necessary to increase the transmission’s performance by reducing its temperature.
The mechanical diff-lock is standard, and is operated via a pedal. This device is indispensable to surpass slopes with little grip or in case of extremely uneven grounds, where the machine remains on 3 wheels.
Engagement of the blades is operated via an electric push-button positioned close to the steering wheel. The cutting height from 35 to 85 mm is regulated from the driver’s seat by a lever having 6 cutting positions, this same lever has a further position for transfer, and it raises the cutting deck from the ground. This procedure interrupts the blades’ rotation in order to negotiate over kerbs and or other obstacles.
The cutting deck’s belt tension is self-adjusting. The whole cutting deck is constantly kept parallel to the ground improving the cutting quality even after years of use.


The Grillo CL7.13 is an extremely comfortable machine to drive and even after long periods of operation.
The extraordinary leg room is obtained via a low and longitudinally on two position adjustable footrest. The operator’s feet are at the optimum angle to achieve maximum safety. The drive lever and the steering wheel are smooth in operation. And They are comfortable, the adjustable dampened seat is fitted with armrests that retain the operator while working on slopes.
Driving the Climber 7.13 will not cause fatigue during extended work periods!
The Climber 7.16 is powered by a Briggs & Stratton Vanguard V-Twin 16 HP petrol engine with an electric starter and has a 7 litre fuel tank. This twin cylinder overhead valve engine has cast iron cylinder liners and a displacement of 479 cc and has all the latest innovations to give reliability, low emissions, reduced consumption, high performance and vibrations reduced to the minimum.
The air filter is easily accessible for quick cleaning operations.
The Climber 7.16’s exhaust “Grillo Super Silent” designed by Grillo was developed to obtain maximum noise reduction and minimum resistance to the exhaust flow.


The Climber’s 7.16’s aggressive styling is up to the minute! The modern and detailed cared line of the fairing and of the chassis catch your eye!
The climber 7.16 passed very stringent tests to prove the reliability of the transmission, cutting deck, chassis and of all its components.
Roll bar, tow bar, hour meter and front light are standard features.
All components, from the simplest to the most complex, are of a high quality standard.
Chassis, transmissions and cutting deck are all built by Grillo in Italy using only premium material and innovative technology. All this to achieve a consistent, 100% quality control level.
The finish on all Grillo machines consists of a double electrostatic powder coated process. First are the washing baths and preparation, then a first protective coat is applied together with baking in the oven, this turns out to be the best basis for the application of the finish. The second coat consists of powder coating and further baking in the oven at 190°C to produce the characteristic hardness and brilliance.
All the CL 7.16’s components have been assembled with care in every detail and tested scrupulously by specialised personnel. Final inspection means a machine whose engine has been run in order to check its performance. This is a further and final guarantee of a high quality product.
CL 7.16, as with all Grillo products, was designed and built to last and retain its value for many years.
All Grillo products are distributed and serviced by a widespread Grillo specialist dealer net. Spare parts remain available also after a lot of years.
