The Progressive TD65-2B is a tri-deck finish mower designed to maintain large areas quickly and economically. With a 12' wide cutting swath, the TD65-2B is capable of mowing over 60 acres in an 8 hour day at speeds up to 6 miles per hour. Three independent floating mower decks mounted on a transport frame follow the ground conditions found in school yards, recreation areas, and corporate campuses. The TD65-2B produces a professional after cut appearance. When you are not mowing, the mower can be quickly disconnected from the tractor, increasing the utilization of the tractor for other tasks. Similarly, reconnection is quick and simple. Now that's value!
Progressive designed the TD65-2B mowing deck to assist the even dispersion of clippings through the open rear discharge area - avoiding clumping and windrows.
Only minutes are required to change the TD65-2B cutting height from 1 to 5 without the use of tools. For convenience and safety, all transport and mowing functions are activated without the operator leaving the tractor's seat. Optional transport tires and fenders are available if the mower needs to be towed longer distances.
Features may include:
- Maintenance Free Blade Spindles
Developed and tested over several years, Progressive is pleased to introduce maintenance free blade spindle assemblies. Completely interchangeable with a greased spindle, the same housing is used providing wide spacing between the bearings ensuring low bearing loading and long service life. Maintenance free blade spindles not only protect the owner's investment from a missed service, it also reduces overall maintenance time and costs.
A field proven design over many years, the TD65-2B incorporates seven blade spindles each supported by two maintenance free bearing per spindle. A long support bar holds the blade straight, providing a clean, level cut. A steel shield below the bottom bearing gives protection from any debris that could otherwise damage the bearing seal. Like all Progressive finish mowers, all blade spindle assemblies are interchangeable within the mower and quickly serviceable, lowering the total cost of ownership.
The TD65-2B is designed with deep skirt decks that are formed and welded, with bracing at high stress areas, to provide maximum structural strength. The open back discharge allows clippings to be dispersed evenly and without bunching up, leaving an after cut appearance that is second to none.
The TD65-2B is easy on the turf. Low ground pressure is achieved with 12 large low pressure floatation tires. Tire position is staggered to minimize soil compaction and rutting. Six non-swiveling caster tires as well as the two main transport tires keep mower tracking straight while mowing along hillsides.
Automatic mechanical safety locks are incorporated into the Progressive TD65-2B to hold all three decks in place when raised for blade servicing or transport. The decks are easily raised and lowered using the tractors hydraulic system, directly from the tractor seat.
- Cut Height- Easy to Adjust
Cutting height adjustment can be simply done on the TD65-2B by removing a lynch pin from top of each castor wheel stem and moving the spacers either above or below support tube as required. Like all Progressive mowers, the wheel hub and castor pivot are greaseable and castor pivot bushings are replaceable for low owning and operating costs.
