Trimax Snake S3
Trimax Mowing Systems introduced the Snake S3 , the latest version of its golf and sports turf mower . The Snake S3 builds on the Snake series with a range of features designed to deliver zero daily maintenance and enhanced ease of use . These improvements allow turf professionals to focus on delivering exceptional results while simplifying maintenance and operation . The deck and blade design of the Snake S3 optimize airflow through the cutting chamber to cleanly cut and distribute grass .
The Snake S3 eliminates the need for daily greasing thanks to two key design changes : the Trimax Titan roller bearing system and maintenance-free wheel hubs . The Titan roller bearing system is built with advanced multilayered seals and an ingress channel that effectively prevents debris from entering the bearing , ensuring smooth operation without regular lubrication . The Titan system is fully covered under Trimax ’ s three-year warranty .
The maintenance-free wheel hubs are a sealed automotive bearing , engineered for durability , further reducing the need for daily maintenance .
In addition to its zero-maintenance advancements , the Snake S3 incorporates several new features designed to enhance ease of use . Removable blade beams allow for easier blade changes and a more practical solution for potential repairs . If damage occurs to the blade system , only the blade beam needs replacing , rather than the entire spindle , helping to minimize downtime and reduce repair costs . Stand-on covers provide safe and convenient access to key areas of the mower and the addition of height adjustment collars allows for fast and precise changes to cutting height .
“ The Snake S3 was developed in direct response to customer feedback ,” said Michael Sievwright , CEO of Trimax Mowing Systems . “ Their input has helped us create a mower that addresses the real-world challenges faced by our customers , reinforcing our focus on delivering practical , effective solutions .”
