Steep hills, rocks and branches are no match for Piney Run's Trimax FlailDek.

In Sykesville, Maryland, Piney Run Nursery and Farm manages more than 80 acres of trees and landscaping stock for commercial developers, mom-and-pop landscapers, and reforestation projects. With such diverse terrain — rolling hills, rocky soil, and scattered branches — mowing was always a challenge.

That changed when Anne Hubbard, head of mowing operations, introduced the Trimax Flail Mower.

“The good thing about this Flail Mower is that it typically just grinds up branches without any trouble,” Hubbard explains. “It glides over steep hills and undulations beautifully.”

A Step Up from Consumer Rotary Mowers

Before Trimax, Piney Run relied on consumer rotary mowers, which often left uneven patches, clogged easily, and struggled in wet conditions. Crews frequently had to stop mowing to deal with breakdowns or clogging.

With the Trimax FlailDek, mowing is smoother, more efficient, and consistently produces a clean cut across lawns and tree plantations. Hubbard no longer has to switch between different mowers for different areas — a major efficiency gain.

Performance That Matters

  • Handles steep, hilly terrain with ease.
  • Chops branches and debris into mulch, allowing nutrient absorption.
  • Performs in wet weather, avoiding clogs and downtime.

“It’s been a huge upgrade compared to the consumer rotary mower we had before,” says Hubbard. “I’d recommend the Trimax Flail Mower to anyone looking for reliability and quality.”

For Piney Run Nursery, the Trimax Flail Mower has become a cornerstone of efficiency, quality, and customer presentation.
