AML Turf mows roadsides in Australia for councils, shires and local government, where tall grass and woody weeds are too tough for other machines. We spoke with Alan Chappell from AML Turf about the Trimax Warlord and why the company has stuck with Trimax for years.
Handles The Toughest Conditions
AML Turf operates in some of the most challenging mowing environments. The Warlord has been a game-changer, handling tall grass, dense roadside vegetation, and even mulching small logs with ease. “We use a Warlord for mowing roadsides where we’ve got tall grass and woody weeds, where it’s too tough for other machines. The Warlord handles that really well,” says Alan Chappell.
Built for extreme conditions, the Warlord cuts and mulches logs up to 75mm (3 inches) in diameter, making light, easy work out of even the most demanding roadside jobs. Alan adds, “With its engineering and strength, it’s proved how reliable it is over the years of operation.” The Warlord’s replaceable internal liner and heavy-duty skids further enhance its durability and reliability, making it an ideal mower for companies such as AML Turf.
Efficient And Easy
AML Turf has been using Trimax machines for years, owning several different models. The reliability and ease of operation have kept them coming back. Alan says, “All their machines are tough and robust and reliable, so we’ve stuck with them over the years.”
The Warlord is designed for ease of use. “The Trimax Warlord is an easy machine to operate for our numerous operators. Any one of our staff can just jump in it and feel right at home straight away,” Alan says. The hydraulic side shift allows for precise mowing close to fences while keeping the tractor on stable ground. This ensures operators’ productivity and safety.
Time is money, and the Warlord delivers. “The fact that it gets through so much in a day compared to the rotary slashers, it’s unbelievable,” says Alan. Reliability backs that up: “We’ve had no breakdowns.”
Not Just The Mower
AML Turf’s relationship with Trimax goes beyond the Warlord. “The relationship with Trimax over the years has been fantastic, not just with the Warlord, with the Stealth, the Pegasus and the FlailDek now that we’ve bought as well,” says Alan.
“Being a private business, we can’t afford too much downtime,” Alan explains, which is why fast access to parts matters. “My experience with parts and customer service at Trimax has been great.”
The Warlord’s reliability and Trimax’s support have kept AML Turf’s operations running smoothly.
“If someone was considering buying a flail mower they should seriously look at the Trimax. It is a strong, robust machine, and from my past experience stands head and shoulders above the rest,” Alan concludes.
