The Weibang Virtue 53 ASDX BBC LV is a professional rear-collect lawnmower built for contractors who need clean results, long daily run times, and dependable drive performance. With a shaft-driven transmission, aluminium deck, and Blade Brake Clutch, it’s designed to work efficiently on busy sites where stopping and starting is part of the job.
Powered by the low-vibration WEIBANG XCV225S engine and paired with a PRO 3-speed gearbox, this mower delivers consistent drive and strong collection without belt maintenance. It’s aimed squarely at professional users who value uptime, operator comfort, and a tidy finish over brute-force cutting.
What the Virtue 53 ASDX BBC LV Is Built For
This mower is designed for professional users who mow day in, day out and expect clean collection, consistent drive performance, and minimal downtime. It’s built for maintained grass areas where finish quality matters just as much as productivity.
This is a primary work mower for contractors and grounds teams, not a clearance or rough-cut machine.
Shaft Drive and PRO Gearbox Reliability
Direct drive without belts
The commercial-grade shaft drive removes belts entirely, delivering direct power transfer from the engine to the gearbox. This means no belt stretch, no slipping under load, and far less routine maintenance over the life of the machine.
Three working speeds for real conditions
The PRO 3-speed gearbox allows the operator to match forward speed to grass density and terrain. Whether cutting damp grass or maintaining lighter growth, drive speed stays predictable and controlled.
Blade Brake Clutch (BBC) for Productivity
Stop the blade, not the engine
The integrated Blade Brake Clutch allows the blade to be disengaged while the engine continues running. This is invaluable when emptying the collector, crossing paths, or moving between cutting areas.
Reduced engine wear and faster workflows
BBC reduces constant engine stopping and restarting, improving efficiency on site and lowering long-term engine stress. On busy commercial jobs, this saves time on every stop.
Aluminium Deck and Collection Performance
Airflow-led deck design
The aluminium cutter deck is designed to maximise airflow, improving grass lift and cutting consistency. This directly improves collection performance, especially in heavier or slightly damp conditions.
High-capacity rear collection
A 70-litre grass collector with active airflow fabric fills evenly and provides a clear visual indicator when full. This reduces blockages and unnecessary stops during longer mowing runs.
Engine Performance and Operator Comfort
Low-vibration power delivery
The WEIBANG XCV225S 224cc engine uses Vibration Control Technology to reduce transmitted vibration during extended use. This matters over full working days, helping reduce fatigue and strain.
Controls designed for long shifts
Adjustable vibration-reducing handles, a clear control layout, and spring-assisted central height adjustment make the mower easier to live with across long jobs and multiple operators.
Where It Fits in the Weibang Professional Range
The Virtue 53 ASDX BBC LV sits at the top end of Weibang’s professional rotary mower range. It focuses on finish quality, drive reliability, and operator efficiency, making it a natural choice for contractors who rely on rear collection rather than mulching or rough cutting.
It pairs well with specialist machines like Weibang’s high grass mowers, covering the maintained mowing side of professional workloads.
