Campey
Turf Care Systems is set to introduce the Fleischmann Electric Five Deck Mower
and Uni-Scratch to the American market at the Turfgrass Producers International
(TPI) 2019 Summer Convention and Field Day.
The
three-day convention is being held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and attendees
will have the chance to visit some of the states’ best facilities including the
National Sports Centre (NSC) in Blaine, Minnesota, which has the largest
outdoor soccer complex in the world with natural grass facilities that include
a 50 multi-use athletic field and an 18-hole PGA-Tour designed golf course.
Campey
will be introducing the Fleishmann mower during the exhibition, with the
ma-chines performance and environmentally friendly features designed
specifically for turf growers and sod farmers.
The
mower has five 2.20 metre cutting decks with six spindles per deck, giving a
10-metre overall cutting width. The mower features a braked steering rear axle,
and the two-point pivoting front mount hitch provides high manoeuvrability,
enabling cutting speeds up to 20kph.
Each
blade on the five cutting decks is powered by a low maintenance electric motor,
leaving behind traditional gearboxes and PTO shafts and eliminating the risk of
oil leaks. The six high tip speed blades in each deck give more cuts per metre
and offer excellent clipping dispersal.
An
efficient modern generator is used to power the mower and lower all the factors
you’d want less of. That’s low PTO requirements, low engine revs and lower
noise output for quiet operation, resulting in less fuel used
The
mechanics of the operation are enhanced further by the five low ground pressure
castor wheels. Each deck has five wheels which are expertly designed to follow
contours and iron out bumps in the surface without leaving any marks. The
wheels are also used to easily set the height of cut with all other operations
controlled from the in-cab control box.
The
second new product being launched is the Uni-Scratch. This machine is the ideal
solution for professional and effective maintenance of natural grass and can
also be used for the final organic matter removal on natural grass hybrid
carpet pitches when carrying out annual renovations.
For
maintenance during the season, Campey offers the UNIRAKE. Users can adjust the
severity of grooming to remove organic matter or simply stand the sward up to
encourage growth, with altering the intensity taking no less than 30 seconds.
The
Campey sales team, joined by chairman Richard Campey, will be at the convention
to answer any questions on the new machines and the existing Campey product
range.
