Samasz KT Mower
Manufactured in northern Poland, Samasz is present in around 50 markets worldwide, but although it offers an extensive range of grassland products, including rakes and tedders, it’s probably best known for its high performing mowers.
Samasz is exclusively distributed in New Zealand by Kaiwaka-based FarmShop. Their relationship with the manufacturer began in late 2019 with a wholesale division that supplies an expanding regional dealer list.
Well known for design, durability and outstanding performance, the latter is evidenced by a Guinness World Record for the largest area of grass mowed using a triple, butterfly combination disc mower, knocking over 96ha in just eight hours.
Samasz began trading in 1984, always following a customer-first philosophy that in turn is backed by a two-year warranty that shows confidence in their product and keeps them ahead of the pack.
Meanwhile, with an eye to the future, constant testing, ongoing upgrades and an extensive product development programme mean the machines evolve to meet changing conditions and customer feedback.
The extensive mower range includes drum and disc formats, with belt or direct dive, plus front, rear and combination configurations to cover all types of crop, conditions and enterprises.
The company notes that its PerfectCut cutter- bars are over-dimensioned, wide, and incorporate 25mm-thick drive gears. This is said to offer superior contour following, particularly over uneven ground such as pivot irrigator ruts. The mowers also feature Quick-Change modules on the cutter-bar, changed quickly with minimal downtime, alongside being geared up, meaning that the main driveline components run at a slower speed to guarantee a longer working life. The blade design features a 13.8mm overlap, thereby eliminating striping, and can spin 360 degrees to generate a self-cleaning effect and a quick-change system to minimise service downtime.
