Description
Designed to increase productivity on every pass!
Progressive once again has raised the bar in the favor of turfgrass producers, offering unmatched productivity on every pass. The TDR-30G Roller Mower was designed with a ‘right sized’ 8,9 m (29’6”) cutting swath. Progressive has balanced the need for increased cutting capacity with the available horsepower of tractors commonly used in sod production. The TDR-30G’s unique Flex-Deck design covers more width per pass and is “easy on the turf” when turning at the headlands, for more acres cut in less time!
Focusing on the needs of the sod producer, Progressive offers four blade options for the TDR-30G. The producer can optimize his cut and maintenance costs depending upon the growing conditions by selecting between two fixed blade lifts and two Pro-EZ Change Blade options – all featuring the renowned Progressive cut quality.
Like all of our mowers, we designed the TDR-30G as if we were maintaining the mower ourselves, so eliminating all daily service requirements was an important design goal. Maintenance-free blade spindles and roller-end bearings, extended 100 hour PTO shaft greasing intervals, and fewer grease fittings all mean more time cutting – less time maintaining. And to keep the TDR-30G cutting over the long term, pivot bushings are easily replaced.
Pro Lift-N-Turn™ The productivity advantage of Progressive’s exclusive Pro Lift-N-Turn is standard equipment on the TDR-30G. Using only one hydraulic function, operators have the ability to slightly raise the decks off the ground with the PTO still engaged, making turning easier on the turf as the weight of the mower is distributed between the tractor and the high floatation tires. Automatic mechanical stops prevent the decks from raising too far. The result is less product damage from dragging the rollers across immature turf. Pro Lift-N-Turn has simply eliminated the issues competitive mowers face when turning at the headlands.
Unique Flex Deck Design. Utilizing one hydraulic float circuit, the independently floating wing decks are connected with a 4-way hinge that allows the TDR-30G to flex and easily track changing contours. The narrow spacing between the front and back rollers is “easy on the turf”, allowing a superior cut and increasing the yield per field.
Familiar Tri-Deck Design. The TDR-30G takes the easy maneuverability and simple operation of a tri-deck mower – one step further. Operators & owners will embrace its familiar operation, low maintenance requirements and the reduction in overlap across each field that comes from the wide 8,9 m (29’6”) cutting swath. Common with other Progressive roller mowers, the height of cut is easily adjusted from 1.3 to 9 cm (½” to 3½”). All height adjustment locations are fully accessible and have an easy to read height gage, making in-field adjustments simple to perform.
Ideal Front to Back Deck Balance. The wing pull points are positioned slightly ahead, but much closer to the deck than how competitive models are designed. The result is less loading on the front roller making the TDR-30G well suited for use in soft ground conditions, while the ability to follow changing contours is unsurpassed.
Right-Sized for Transport. Deigned to permit transport between fields, the TDR-30G’s unique Flex Deck allows the wings to be folded a transport height of 33 cm and a transport width of 22,8 cm. The wide floatation tires are rated to 40 kmh and the independent suspension on the transport wheels provides for a smoother ride.
Bolt-on Deck Galvanized decks. For producers who grow in sandy, or acidic soil conditions, the bolt on deck design allows for inexpensive replacement of the deck if necessary. The galvanized skin provides added protection necessary for long life in these types of soil conditions or where rusting from fertilizer use is a concern.
