tractor types & trimax mowers

reliability and productivity built in … just add tractor

All Trimax machines must be used in conjunction with a tractor of some kind. Standard agricultural-type tractors make ideal power units for mowers. They are generally cheap to run, robust, durable and outstandingly versatile. Because most have standardised mounting and power-take-off systems, a tractor normally used for mowing can quickly be disconnected and used for towing a trailer, or be fitted with a grader blade, for instance. If it is ever out of service, the same implements can be connected to any other tractor of approximately similar size. Most modern tractors can travel quickly on the road, thus eliminating the need for extra transport vehicles. This versatility is a powerful reason for choosing a tractor-mounted mower over a self-propelled type.

The following notes list the features required for tractors used with different Trimax machines. If some of the following terms are unfamiliar to you, your tractor dealer will be able to explain them in more detail.

linkage-mounted models

Stealth , ProCut , Topper , Warlord and Ezeemow

• A standard tractor with a Category 1 or 2 three-point linkage and a power take-off (PTO) with a 1 3/8” 6-spline shaft that rotates at 540rpm in a clockwise direction when viewed from behind the tractor is required. The Stealth also requires at least one double-acting auxiliary hydraulic outlet.

trailed models

Pegasus

• Requires a tractor with a standard tow hitch and a power take-off (PTO) with a 1 3/8” 6-spline shaft that rotates at 540rpm in a clockwise direction when viewed from behind the tractor. At least one single-acting hydraulic outlet is required for the PegasusS2

front mount models

FlailDek

• FlailDekS2 models require specialist out-front tractors from proprietary manufacturers. Unlike standard agricultural-type tractors, all out-front tractors differ from each other. Consequently the mower decks are tractor-specific and must be configured to fit and operate correctly. Suitable tractor models include:
  • Iseki (SF300, SF330, SF333)
  • John Deere (F1145, 1435, 1445, 1565)
  • Kubota (F2560, F3060, F3560)
  • New Holland (MC28, MC35)
  • Shibaura (CM284, CM364)
