Cut, scarify and collect in one pass with the new Trilo C15

Fiona Gebbettin Industry News

TheGrassGroup 8840Trilo, from The Grass Group, provides professional, time-saving solutions that can be used for a wide variety of tasks. One such machine is the new Trilo C15 being shown at Saltex 2012 for the first time.

TheversatileTrilo C15is a fully mounted, PTO driven, flail/scarifier collector with a working width of 1.5M.Specifically designed for tractors of 28HP and above, having a single acting hydraulic system to operate the hopper emptying mechanism.

A multipurpose machine, this robust and compact unit in its raw state will collect cut grass, leaves, moss, horse droppings and other debrisfrom rough or fine areas.The 18 wind paddles fitted to the heavy duty finely balanced rotor ensure a thorough uptake of material into the 1.1M3 capacity hopper. The material is discharged by operating the cab-mounted single acting hydraulic lever which raises the rear of the hopper, allowing compact tidy heaps to be deposited at disposal sites.The dust cover ensures that the operator is free from any dust when operating in dry conditions.

However, theTrilo C15 comes into its own when combined with twisted flail blades to give a really "fine grass" cut with grass stripes afterwards. It is equipped with easily adjusted steel rollers front and back to set the depth and /or cutting height. Add to that a scarifying unit and the C15will, in one pass, leave the grass clean and striped, aerated and well groomed in one pass -regenerating previously matted and stale ground.

The scarifying unit comprises 3 mm thick verticut bladesand can remove a large amount of thatch. The hard faced steel Y-shaped blades can be used with the verticut blades to improve the finish still further. Both types of blades are reversible to double their life time and reduce the operating costs. Changing the wear resistant blades is easy to do because of the quick-change clips used.
