The Virtue 53 SSDX BBC LV is a BBC model featuring shaft drive and a WEIBANG PRO SD BBC. The large 53cm steel cutter deck has 4 in 1 function, making it a truly versatile commercial mower. Powered by a 224cc XCV225S engine, the machine features heavy duty nylon wheels, front bumper and central height adjustment.

PRO Blade Brake Clutch
Featuring our heavy duty WEIBANG PRO Blade Brake Clutch (BBC), allowing the operator to stop the blades while keeping the engine running. Engineered to the highest standards, the WEIBANG PRO BBC is nearly double the size of other BBC’s on the market and offers unrivalled reliability and serviceability.
Central Height of Cut
The single lever height adjustment is supported by a heavy duty spring for assistance. With a choice of positions from as little as 20mm to as much as 80mm, the Virtue is capable of tackling anything from a short formal lawn to more overgrown areas. The single adjustment lever is also fitted inside the rear wheel to ensure it’s protected when mowing against walls and hedges.


Heavy Duty Bumper & Durable Wheels
The cutter deck and front wheels are protected from accidental knocks by a heavy duty front bumper, which doubles up as a lifting handle for transportation. The wide commercial wheels consist of a new nylon compound rim and durable polyurethane tread for steel deck machines, and aluminium rims with rubber compound for the aluminium deck models. To further enhance the durability, the double wheel bearings are all fully protected to reduce water and dust ingress.
Side Discharge
For overgrown areas the side discharge chute can be easily attached without tools, offering a highly productive method of cutting longer grass. Please note, the mulching plug must be inserted for side discharge to function correctly. (Steel deck models only)


Large Quick Attach Collector
The large fabric collector features airflow fabric on the top to indicate when the collector is full. To make life easier the collector auto locates into the handle structure effortlessly. When removed, the machine offers rear discharge functionality.
Benefits of Shaft Drive
• Direct power transfer
• No loss of performance
• No more belts to replace
• No cleaning grass from under the belt cover
• Minimal servicing required
• Less downtime and higher productivity
• Up to 3 year commercial warranty (Aluminium models)


Emptying Handle
The collector features a full width rear handle that doesn’t pinch the collector during emptying, resulting in easier and faster emptying of the large fabric bag.
Adjustable Handles
As with all WEIBANG commercial lawnmowers, the Virtue range features our heavy duty aluminium quick release adjustment clamps. The quick release levers allow fast adjustment to suit any operator while not compromising on the rigidity of the handle.


Easy Cable Access
All models feature an open back cockpit design, offering simple easy access to cables for adjustment or routine maintenance. Furthermore, the cables feature a heavy duty design with dust covers and spring mountings for added durability.
Easy Maintenance
As a commercial machine the Virtue was designed for simple maintenance, with all engines offering easy access to the oil dipstick, spark plug and air filter, to make routine maintenance fast and minimise downtime.


Durable Grip & Replaceable Bushes
The handles feature a high density professional grip for comfort and durability over long periods of use. The OPC and drive levers are fitted into replaceable plastic bushes for smooth operation and an extended life.
