SPECIALIST MOWERS
We also reduced cutting on other green spaces such as verges to give plants a chance to flower , providing a valuable source of nectar and adding interest and colour to amenity areas ” he explains .
“ With this change to our cutting operation , we needed a machine that could handle large-scale cut and collect and found the Trilo was a perfect addition to our existing fleet of mountable cut and collect machines .” The S20 is the largest capacity model in Trilo ’ s multi-purpose S-Line range which , when fitted with a flail shaft , offers a cutting width of 2.1m and powerful vacuum collection of the clippings to leave a clean finish after every pass .

The size of this unit has transformed the task of maintaining our meadow areas
Following the delivery by Hunt Forest Group , the S20 was put straight into operation between August and October . “ The size of this unit has transformed the task of maintaining our meadow areas ” Simon explains . “ Not only does it cut and collect in its own right , but we can use it to support the smaller tractor mounted and ride on machines which can cut in tighter areas then tip their arisings on the ground to be sucked up by the hose on the S20 – all done using the intuitive control box from the comfort of the cab . This in itself has increased productivity and reduced vehicle journeys to dispose of waste .”
“ Through December and January we then used the S20 to assist with leaf collection within the larger parks in our area , and will certainly be using it more for this function in future .” He concludes , “ With Trilo you ’ re also assured of excellent build quality and excellent service from specification right through to installation . It ’ s the full package and has already proven itself to be a fantastic investment .”
