X-WAM S5
At Raft River Sod, efficiency is everything. Managing over 1,000 acres of turf requires equipment that performs day after day without slowing down. Owner Spencer Mendenhall knows that every hour counts when maintaining production and quality standards.
The Challenge
The team had relied on competitors’ mowers that frequently broke down, required constant greasing, and slowed field operations. Productivity suffered, and maintenance costs increased as other models struggled to keep up with Raft River’s demand.
The Trimax Solution
Raft River adopted the Trimax X-WAM S5, a 38-foot-wide mower built for large-scale sod operations. The S5’s greaseless bearings, hydraulic jack, and quick-lift system increased uptime, reduced maintenance, and made transport between fields faster and easier.
“This thing knocks our fields out in no time. We can mow a 150-acre field in about five and a half hours.” – Spencer Mendenhall, Raft River Sod
