Built to last.
Golf course mechanics report going extended seasons without replacing blades or belts. Robust construction means less time in the workshop and more time on the course.

Minimal Maintenance.
No daily sharpening, no hydraulic system to manage. Courses report saving hours of maintenance time every week compared to their previous machines.

Lower Operating Costs.
Zero daily maintenance, minimal parts, and low downtime. The five-year cost of ownership makes Trimax one of the most cost-effective choices in the category.

More Versatile.
Switch between rough and fairway cutting in minutes. Handles aerification cleanup, leaf management, and seed-head control. One machine that earns its keep across the whole course.

Courses running a Trimax implement consistently report fuel savings compared to their previous self-propelled units. Less weight, less draw, lower cost per hour.

Frequently Asked Questions.
How does the Trimax Snake compare to self-propelled reel mowers in total cost?
The Trimax Snake paired with a tractor typically costs significantly less than a dedicated self-contained unit. Golf courses across the US have purchased both a new tractor and a Snake for less than the price of one self-propelled mower, with the added benefit of the tractor being available for other tasks when the Snake is not in use.
Can the same mower handle both fairway surrounds and rough?
Yes. The Snake S3 is designed to operate as both a fairway surrounds mower and a rough mower, with height adjustment achievable in under 20 minutes. This makes it practical for courses running multiple maintenance programs through the season.
Can Trimax mowers handle undulating terrain and bunker edges?
Yes. The Snake S3 features articulating decks with double front and rear rollers, allowing each deck to follow ground contours independently. Full-width rollers reduce scalping risk and allow decks to hang over bunker edges where castor-wheel units cannot.
What does daily maintenance involve?
Very little. The Snake S3 has zero daily maintenance requirements. Greasing intervals are significantly lower than self-contained units, all grease points are easily accessible, and blades are inexpensive to replace and can be changed quickly in the field.
What warranty comes with Trimax golf course mowers?
Trimax mowers are backed by an industry-leading 3-year warranty. Full warranty terms are available on our warranty page.
