Revolutionizing Turf Care
The Eco Clipper Journey
S ince 2002 , Syb Leijenaar and his companies have transformed turf care , starting with the pioneering GC5 . This electric mower , with a remarkable cutting width of 10 metres , emerged from our ambition to improve on traditional cylinder mowers in turf production . Our goal was simple but ambitious : to match the precision cutting of cylinder mowers while eliminating their high maintenance costs and sensitivity to challenging mowing conditions , such as wet grass and weeds .
Fast forward to today , and our flagship model , the Eco Clipper TM14 , represents a significant leap forward . With a 14.11-meter cutting width , it offers 40 % more efficiency than the GC5 , yet remains compatible with the same range of tractors ( minimum 100 hp , ideally 130 hp on flat terrain ). This compatibility underlines our commitment to practical innovation .
The Eco Clipper ’ s impact on mowing economics is profound . By combining a wider cutting swath with increased mowing speed , we halve the mowing costs compared to traditional methods . This efficiency is a product of reduced labor and tractor hours . Moreover , the Eco Clipper ’ s drive efficiency not only saves on fuel but also reduces consumption to an impressive 0.2 to 0.4 litres per acre .
Beyond cost savings , the Eco Clipper excels in capacity and cutting quality , making turf care not just economical but enjoyable . Our range isn ’ t limited to large models for turfgrass growers ; we also cater to parks and sports grounds maintenance . Municipalities and contractors praise the Eco Clipper FM4 Sport for its 4.11-meter cutting width , cost-effectiveness , userfriendliness , and resilient cutting quality in various weather conditions and terrains .
An added advantage is the quiet operation of our electrically driven blades . This feature not only saves fuel and reduces maintenance needs but also minimises noise pollution for operators , bystanders , and local residents .
