As Landscaping and Amenity Product Update marks 30 years of serving the industry, it’s fitting to spotlight a machine that has come to represent the same values of longevity, reliability and continuous improvement. For more than two decades, the Trimax Pegasus has remained a benchmark in large-area mowing — not because it has stayed the same, but because it has never stopped evolving.
When the first Pegasus rolled off the line in 2001, it reshaped expectations for wide-area mowing. Its trailed, multi-deck, fully foldable format combined productivity, transportability, and premium cut quality in a way grounds teams had never experienced. That original design philosophy — efficiency, reliability, and user-focussed design — has guided every generation since, evolving through ongoing dialogue with operators in the field.
From in-cab electric deck release to maintenance-free Steadfast spindles, wider cutting widths and a more robust transport system, each iteration has strengthened Pegasus’ reputation for durability and performance. Now in its fifth generation, the Pegasus S5 remains a trusted workhorse for contractors, schools, estates, and local authorities alike. Features such as the Titan roller bearing system, automatic belt tensioning, and QuikLift as standard continue to reduce daily maintenance while enhancing ease of use and operator comfort.
But longevity in today’s industry isn’t just about durability — it’s about advancing with the needs of modern grounds management. And that’s where the latest Trimax innovation takes centre stage.
Launching at Saltex 2025, OptiAdjust brings a new level of precision, efficiency, and safety to the Pegasus platform. OptiAdjust allows operators to change mowing height between 10–80 mm without leaving the cab, using the intuitive Trimax Connect app. With adjustments made in seconds, downtime drops dramatically while consistency across changing ground conditions improves. For sports fields, municipal spaces, and large estates, the ability to fine-tune presentation on the move represents a genuine shift in operational flexibility.
Backed by the engineering expertise of Trimax, OptiAdjust integrates seamlessly with the Pegasus S5. It not only enhances efficiency but also supports turf health by making smaller, more frequent height changes practical during peak growth periods — improving finish quality while reducing the risk of disease.
For many operators who have relied on the Pegasus for years, these kinds of evolutions are exactly why the mower continues to stand apart. Its DNA remains unchanged: exceptional cut quality, reliability under pressure, and intelligent design shaped by real-world use. Yet with each generation — and now with OptiAdjust — Pegasus continues to embrace smarter, safer, more productive operation.
As Landscaping and Amenity celebrates 30 years, Pegasus stands as proof that true longevity comes not from standing still, but from continually raising the standard.
