Profihopper multi-tasks for a professional finish

Getting more out of one machine is another route to efficiency and Amazone’s Profihopper range is designed to carry out a wide range of tasks such as cut and collect, scarifying, wild flower meadow maintenance, spring bulb top clearing, autumn leaf collection as well as cut and drop mowing.

The PH1250 and PH1500 models in 1.25m and 1.5m working widths feature the PowerCompactor collecting and conveying system, which uses longitudinal and cross conveyors to handle large volumes of wet grass, ideal for less frequent mowing regimes.

A fine turf finish can be achieved using H88 blades and scarifying, mowing, and leaf collecting can be carried out in one job.

Amazone points out that utilising a diesel powertrain instead of an electric system keeps weight down and output up. “This allows for longer working periods, increased power to weight ratio and making the machine overall more compact. A battery would be unable to maintain the Profihopper’s power for a full day’s work as well as making the machine too large and heavy for turf work.”

The PH1500 now comes with ECO mode, said to be ideal for collecting foliage and for mowing in light growth conditions. The rotor is driven at a reduced speed of 2500 rpm, and the speed of the diesel engine is just 2000 rpm. This saves fuel and reduces the noise level by up to 4.5 dB.

Profihoppers are certified to run on HVO 100 (hydrotreated vegetable oil) fuels which lead to fewer emissions overall with the production and combustion of HVO fuel often releasing up to 90% less CO2 than regular diesel.

The new InsectGuard also makes sure that pollinators are not mown by the following cutting system, protecting the insect population.
