Eco Clipper: consistent quality, lower running costs- proven in the field
After a strong GroundsFest, our UK demo tour visited turf farms, sports fields and estates so teams could assess Eco Clipper in real-world conditions. The verdict: a consistent cut, high productivity, low noise, and a robust, simple design.
Eco Clipper comes from turfgrass production. Small, highspeed blades and an aerodynamic deck lift the sward and spread clippings evenly, reducing clumps and keeping schedules on track even with dew or a brief shower. Ground-following decks and balanced weight distribution help limit compaction, supporting stronger roots and better drainage. Electric deck drive means quiet operation, lower fuel use and reduced maintenance— benefits that cut peracre operating costs.
Whether you manage parks, multi-pitch sites or large acreage, Eco Clipper offers front- or rear-mounted solutions for compact tractors and higher-capacity units for big areas— all built around the same core: reliable quality at lower operating cost. For a demo, contact our distributor Greenstripe Innovations or visit www. ecoclipper. com.
