Amazone is expanding its lawn maintenance range with the addition of the new BladeCut 1800 rotary mowing deck option for its Profihopper 1500 self-propelled mower. The new deck offers a cutting width of 1.8m.

By means of the QuickLink coupling system the standard flail mower unit can quickly be swapped for the new rotary mower. The BladeCut 1800 provides a high blade overlap, ensuring a clean cut. The unit has a direct rear discharge meaning that the collection function of the Profihopper is disabled. However, a mulching kit with specially shaped mulching blades is available as an option.

The design includes a slip-clutch to prevent damage to the blade in the event of contact with foreign objects. Two large guide wheels at the front of the unit ensure good contour following.

The cutting height can be infinitely adjusted between 20 mm and 110 mm while anti-scalp rollers protect the grass surface from damage on uneven ground

InsectGuard

Amazone has also developed the InsectGuard insect scaring device to promote sustainable and insect-friendly green space maintenance. The device, which can be easily mounted on the out-front mowing deck of the Profihopper self-propelled mower/collector, works mechanically scaring insects away from the danger area ahead of the actual mowing process.
