Trimax Mowing Systems is a New Zealandowned and operated company that designs, manufactures, and distributes commercial mowing equipment.

The company was founded in the Bay of Plenty in 1981 by Bob Sievwright, a local engineer and salesman with family roots in agriculture and a passion for high-performance machinery.

Sievwright developed the Gamma Flail, an innovative aerodynamic mower flail, which simplified manufacturing processes and increased operational efficiency from then-contemporary welded flails. When his first customer, a mower manufacturer in Tauranga burnt down, Sievwright’s determination to keep the Gamma Flail on the market led him to buy out the business. This was the beginning of Trimax Mowing Systems.

Trimax Force is the latest innovation from the company – claimed as its strongest and most adaptable flail mower yet. The new mower is said to have evolved from several improvements to the popular Trimax Warlord – first released 1989.

Designed to be versatile, robust and requiring less maintenance, the Force series features thicker steel endplates, a replaceable internal liner and a new rotor bearing assembly. This triples the mower’s durability and doubles its load capacity.

Alongside many maintenance- free features and easy access points to keep servicing requirements to an absolute minimum, this mower allows operators to spend more time working and less time working on their machine. The company says if offers a wide range of options with the Force, allowing users to customise the machine to specific conditions and applications. Backed by 40 years of experience producing premium flail mowers, the company says Trimax Force builds on the successes of its predecessors.
