Samasz Z4-1550 Four-Rotor Rake & KDX Mowers Debut at Agritechnica
In an already crowded market, Polish machinery manufacturer Samasz is set to unveil a prototype of its Z4-1550 four-rotor rake at Agritechnica.
Toplink Machinery has added the Samasz range of grassland machinery to its stable at Te Awamutu.
Produced in Poland by 650 employees in a factory turning out 10,000 units per year, the company has specialised in harvest equipment for 30 years.
A range of disc mowers is available from 1.6 to 9.4m, with front, rear and butterfly options and in mounted or trailed variants. All units are offered with a comprehensive 24 month warranty.
Cutter bars, produced in-house, have high content boron steel for heavy duty operation while keeping overall weight lower.
Fitted with oval discs carrying two quick-fit blades, the cutter has a break-back mechanism for dealing with hidden obstructions. This is supplemented by a shear key under the disc, to protect the machine driveline.
Each disc module is quickly removable and replaceable, and contractors will keep a spare module on the shelf for such eventualities.
Export manager for Samasz, Lucas Lapinski, visiting New Zealand for the first time during Fieldays, said, “These mowers are extremely heavy duty and have a long working life so are extremely cost effective. They will suit the New Zealand market very well.”

OPINION: In politics, credibility is and should be big. It must surely rank higher than charisma, which is quite trite and superficial. Yet, voters nowadays are often wooed and influenced by how someone looks or talks at a superficial level. TV plays a huge role in this.
