With a 15.5' cutting width, the TDR-15B was designed to maintain wide area mowing venues that require a superior after cut appearance quickly and efficiently. Full length rollers allow a cut as low as ½, while simultaneously rolling and striping the mowing surface. The TDR-15B is ideal for turf grass production where transporting the mower from site to site is a necessity.
The TDR-15B will provide a professional finished appearance while it smooths the mowing surface at the same time. In addition, re-growth of divots is improved through root to soil contact from the rollers. Cutting heights are quick and simple to set with the supplied tool to any height from ½ to 4.
A superior quality cut is achieved with the combination of high tip speed and high lift blades, which stands the grass up prior to cutting, and then disperses the clippings evenly over the rear rollers. Only 30 to 50 horsepower is required to operate the TDR-15B making it well matched for tractors commonly found in turf grass production.
All mower decks are free floating to follow changing contours. Deck float side to side is 40 degrees total (15 degrees down and 25 degrees up). In addition unlike similar mowers, the TDR-15B decks float a total of 24 degrees front to back (12 degrees down and 12 degrees up).
Features may include:
Progressive's exclusive Pro Lift-N-Turn system is standard equipment. 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 floatation tires. An automatic stop prevents each deck from rising too far and damaging the deck PTO shaft.
With a tip speed over 18,000 feet per minute, our high lift blades provide superior air flow to stand grass up so it can be cut cleanly and evenly discharged over the rear rollers, minimizing clumping and accumulation.
- 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.
- Easy change height adjustment
Infinite cutting height adjustment from ½ to 4 is easily accomplished with the supplied tool. This allows the mower to transition quickly for multiple mowing height applications.
6 diameter rollers running full length on both the front and rear of each mower deck. Helping to smooth the mowing surface while cutting, the rollers help promote root to turf contact for faster repair and healthier turf.
The rollers can also stripe the turf for a pleasing visual impact for the facilities patrons - a testament to the professionalism of the job.
