A to pose a challenge to course managers , it is now more critical than ever that every operation conducted above ground has plant health at its core . As the most regular task , mowing can have either a positive or negative impact on the plant depending on whether the correct cutting performance can be attained . This will be the focus for Vanmac as they return to BTME in 2023 , showcasing a range of rotary and multi-deck mowers from Progressive that offer industry-leading cut quality and contour-following ability .
The Progressive TDR-X features three independently floating decks which promise to closely follow undulations without the risk of scalping – thereby reducing the risk of creating entry points for pathogens to take hold . A 3.2m cutting width and easily adjustable cutting height range of between 10mm and 85mm gives complete versatility for use on both fine and sports turf surfaces , with full width rollers on both the front and rear of each deck leaving a first-class finish .
Along with other machines in the Progressive range , the TDR-X features Pro Lift-N-Turn™ technology , which enables the operator to temporarily lift the decks with the PTO still engaged , increasing manoeuvrability and overall productivity .
The TDR-X will be on show on stand 526 alongside the Pro-Flex 120 – the most widely used trailed contour finishing mower . The Pro-Flex is ideal for producing a fine finish on fairways and surrounds , featuring a high blade tip speed and graduated cut height options down to 25mm for uniformity of cut and unbeatable versatility . Totalling 3m in width , each of the three decks is equipped with a shock absorber to tackle cutting tasks on even the toughest , uneven ground .
If it ’ s cut and collect on the agenda , then Vanmac have that covered too with the Trilo range of multi-purpose collector units . The Trilo M4 can be configured with a variety of shaft options – including a choice of flail rotor styles - and features a powerful fan to lift the mown material up into the 4m3 hopper , leaving a clean finish after a single pass . Scarifier and brush shafts are also available for the M-Series to complete tasks across the full maintenance calendar . www . vanmac . co . uk
