The NEW Trimax Fury available from BA Marlborough 

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Fury is Trimax’s latest addition to their horticulture range — a commercially built, gear-driven rotary mower delivering market-leading cut quality and reliability in the tough conditions often found in horticulture and viticulture. The Fury builds on Trimax’s existing horticulture and viticulture range, which includes a wide variety of flail and rotary products, all designed and built in New Zealand for New Zealand conditions. 

With over 40 years of experience in the New Zealand horticulture industry, Trimax designed the Fury in response to customers requesting a durable, low-maintenance, gear-driven mower. This feedback, along with extensive testing in the field has resulted in a strong, reliable vineyard and orchard mower with the cut quality synonymous with the Trimax name. 

The Fury comes in three cutting widths: 1.6m, 1.8m, and 2m. 

Durable Design 

Trimax, understanding that different areas of the country have different durability requirements, created two main models for the Fury: the standard-duty and the heavy-duty. 

  • Standard-Duty Model: Features a 10mm thick body, reinforced with 10mm stiffeners around the gearbox mountings. The rollers are 6mm thick. 
  • Heavy-Duty Model: Features a 15mm thick body, reinforced with 10mm stiffeners around the gearbox. The rollers are 13mm thick. 

Certain design features were implemented in the construction of the body to make the Fury as durable as possible. Through consultation with orchard and vineyard managers, Trimax found that other gear-driven mowers often experienced cracking around the roller mount sites due to the mounts being bolted to the body rather than welded. All main mounting sites on the Trimax Fury, including the headstock, are welded through the body and monocoque. 

As with other Trimax products, the Fury features an industry-leading warranty of 3 years for non-consumable parts, excluding the gearbox and rotors, which have a 2-year warranty. 

Ease of Use 

One of the notable features of the Fury mower is the Titan Roller Bearings. The Titan Roller Bearing has a 5-seal system that protects against dirt and moisture entering the bearing internals, ensuring a long life in tough conditions. The Titan bearing also contains a sealed, greased hub, removing any maintenance requirements over the life of the bearing. 

Additionally, the Fury’s unique clamped coupling design allows for the replacement of metal coupling components without the need to remove the gearboxes, further easing maintenance procedures. 

The Fury has a range of options that make it suitable for a wide variety of horticulture and viticulture mowing requirements. The Fury offers two different discharge options: side or rear discharge. Side discharge allows the operator to discharge material out the side of the mower and under plantings to increase moisture retention and prevent the growth of weeds. Rear discharge evenly discharges clippings out the rear of the mower for orchards where side discharge isn’t suitable. The Fury also has the option of swapping the rear roller for castors, which improves travel in soft or sandy soils where rollers are not suitable. 

With exceptional toughness and low-maintenance brilliance, the Trimax Fury highlights Trimax’s commitment to providing reliable, high-quality mowing solutions to the New Zealand horticulture market. The Fury’s robust design, user-friendly features, and strong warranty make it a practical choice for professionals seeking dependable and efficient equipment.

Les Boyt, BA Marlborough Branch Manager

As part of our continued investment into the region, we are delighted to announce the appointment of Les Boyt as our new Branch Manager.

Les has lived and worked in Blenheim for the last 5 years, where he’s been immersed in the agricultural and viticultural machine service and sales sector.

Les has a wealth of knowledge in our industry and his background in automotive engineering provides him with all the technical know-how needed to serve our valued customers.

His experience managing a local branch, specialising in servicing the agricultural and viticultural industries, ensures Les will hit the ground running.

Les takes over from Matt McConway and you can contact Les on Matt’s existing number, 0273 066 467 for all your servicing, parts, and technical enquiries.

Chris Johnston is also leaving the business and our National Sales Manager, Paul France, will oversee all sales enquiries.  Should you require product information relating to our range, availability, and pricing, you can contact Paul on 027 3457 972.

We’re also in the process of employing a Senior Account Manager as the branch continues to grow and expand its customer base.

Following a successful three-year trial within a large-scale vineyard, our in-house design and development team has produced an industry-leading spray unit that significantly reduces the number of canopy treatments required without compromising yield. This and our very narrow row spray unit have led to our growth.

With increased stock holding across the entire range of products and parts, in conjunction with a significant investment in our people, we look forward to leading our industry in servicing our valued customers.
