Wessex have
been trialling their new RMX-800 roller mower with its impressive 8 metre
mowing width, the perfect machine for use on a turf farm or large amenity area.
All the features and benefits of the well-known Wessex ProLine RMX range have
been incorporated into one triple deck fine turf mower. The result is a precision cut finish, new
transmission, fast forward speeds and operation with one or both wings lifted.
The aim of the RMX-800 is to achieve a finish equal to a cylinder mower while
reducing mowing time and increasing output and profitability at a fraction of
the cost. This giant of a mower achieves that and more. Wide area mowing offers
cost-efficiency and each deck on the triple mower has full width rollers at the
front and rear that restrict airflow, where the high speed blades create
suction beneath the deck chamber in which the uncut grass is sucked up by the
blades, leaving a superb quality cut at high speeds. Above all, say Wessex,
servicing and maintenance are easy, reducing costs substantially compared to
the equivalent in cylinder mowers. Operation is simplified as no electro-hydraulics
are required and there are no electric clutches. The transmission system allows
wings to be engaged and disengaged whilst in work, without a clutch mechanism. Wing control is independent, they are
operational with one wing lifted, and the folding wings can cut gradients from
-30° to +30° with the middle deck remaining on level ground. Operation is
simplified as no electro-hydraulics are required and there are no electric
clutches. It all adds up to an economic solution for turf farms and large
sporting areas such as polo pitches, public parks, football and cricket grounds
and other such amenities. Available for delivery in 2014 the machine is ready
to be demonstrated. Broadwood International 01420 478111 www.broadwoodintl.co.uk
