The Virtue 53 SMPX LV is Weibang’s flagship dedicated commercial mulcher with a larger 53cm cutting width. Powered by a WEIBANG XCV225 engine with pressurised lubrication and 4 litre fuel tank, the mower also features the industry leading PRO 3 speed gearbox.

XCV225 Engine featuring Vibration Control Technology
For heavy use, the XCV225 features 224cc and 4.1kW as well as a larger 4 litre fuel tank. Thanks to vibration control technology, both engines dramatically reduce vibration levels for all day use.
Rolled Steel Deck with Crank Protection
Our dedicated mulchers feature a high performance rolled steel deck with specially designed cutting blade for the optimum mulching performance. To protect the crankshaft from damage by tree roots and stones, an aluminium support has been fitted to support the crankshaft with the blade mounted to a CPS slip washer.


Heavy Duty Wheels with Spring Scrapers
The Virtue dedicated mulching range feature heavy duty double ball bearing wheels with steel spring scrapers to remove cut grass from the tread avoiding grass clumps being left behind while mowing.
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.
