Mowing systems for sod farms and turf production more acres. less downtime.
Built for the precision, reliability, and daily output demands of commercial sod and turf production.
why turf farms choose trimax mowers.
Cut Quality.
Consistent, accurate cutting at your target height across every field. No scalping, no variation. The cut quality that keeps your sod in prime condition from mow to harvest.
Built to Last.
Heavy-duty construction and sealed bearing systems engineered for high-hours commercial production. Machines designed to stay in the field, not the workshop.
Minimal Maintenance.
Greaseless bearings, auto-tensioning belt systems, and zero daily maintenance requirements mean your crew spends more time mowing and less time servicing.

Recommended Trimax Mowers for Sod Farms and Turf Production.
Trimax manufactures wide-area rotary mowing systems used by sod farms and turf producers across the United States. The following are commonly specified for production mowing, turf conditioning, and large-acreage management.
Vulcan
Caster Wheel Mower.
Maximum Productivity, Minimum Power.
The Vulcan consumes 31% less PTO power than the leading competitor caster wheel mower, delivering fuel savings of up to 13.9%. Puncture-proof solid tires, SteadFAST sealed spindles, and automatic belt tensioners mean zero daily maintenance. Height adjustment is completed by one person in under 15 minutes. Compacts to 8’11” wide for easy transport between fields.
- Cutting width: 23’9″
- Cut height range: 3/4″ to 5″
- Minimum PTO: 60hp
- Workrate at 4mph: 11.52 ac/hr
Pegasus S5
Wide-Area Roller Mower.
The Production Benchmark.
Over 25 years refined. Independent floating deck sections maintain consistent cutting height across undulating terrain. Titan sealed bearings and SteadFAST sealed spindles mean zero daily maintenance. New larger wheels deliver 20% less ground pressure on turf. Available in three cutting widths to match your operation.
- Cutting widths: 16’2″ / 19’11” / 23’9″
- Cut height range: 3/8″ to 4 1/8″
- Minimum PTO: From 50hp
- Workrate at 4mph: 7.84 to 11.52 ac/hr
X-WAM S5
Ultra Wide-Area Roller Mower.
Maximum Output Per Tractor Hour.
The widest roller mower in the Trimax range. 50% stronger chassis than its predecessor, variable cutting width between 23’9″ and 37’7″, and QuikLIFT to reduce headland damage when turning. Titan sealed bearings and SteadFAST sealed spindles mean zero daily maintenance.
- Cutting width: Up to 37’7″
- Cut height range: 3/8″ to 4 1/2″
- Minimum PTO: 90hp
- Workrate at 4mph: 18.3 ac/hr
X-WAM S5 ZR
Ultra Wide-Area Caster Mower.
Wide Coverage, Long Grass Capability.
The caster wheel variant of the X-WAM S5. Front and rear casters allow long grass to be cut without being rolled first, ideal for high-volume farms mowing at longer intervals or across varying grass lengths. Variable cutting width between 23’9″ and 37’7″. Zero daily maintenance. 3-year warranty.
- Cutting width: Up to 37’7″
- Cut height range: 3/4″ to 7 1/2″
- Minimum PTO: 90hp
- Workrate at 4mph: 18.3 ac/hr
Warlord S3
Flail Mulcher.
Turf Ribbons, Offcuts, and Field Margins.
Handles turf ribbons, offcuts, and long or short grass in a single pass, leaving behind evenly distributed mulch. An adjustable rear flap controls discharge coarseness, and hydraulic side shift offsets the machine up to 19″ from the tractor for precise positioning along field edges and perimeter zones. Minimal maintenance.
- Cutting widths: 5’9″ / 6’8″ / 7’8″
- Cut height range: 0″ to 2 3/4″
- Minimum PTO: From 40hp

Frequently Asked Questions.
How low can Trimax mowers cut without scalping?
Trimax sod farm roller mowers cut accurately down to 3/8" without scalping, maintaining accuracy across undulating terrain. Independent floating deck sections follow ground contours independently of the tractor. The X-WAM S5 ZR caster and Vulcan models cut from 3/4" upward, suited to farms mowing longer grass or at less frequent intervals.
What is the difference between the Pegasus S5, X-WAM S5, and X-WAM S5 ZR?
The Pegasus S5 is the production benchmark for farms in the mid-range cutting width category, available from 16'2" to 23'9". The X-WAM S5 is the widest roller mower in the range at up to 37'7", designed for operations managing hundreds to thousands of acres per week. The X-WAM S5 ZR is the caster wheel variant of the X-WAM, cutting grass without rolling it first — better suited to longer grass intervals or delicate grasses where roller pressure is a concern.
How much maintenance do Trimax sod farm mowers require?
Trimax sod farm mowers are built around a zero daily maintenance design philosophy. Greaseless sealed bearings eliminate routine greasing. Auto-tensioning belt systems remove manual adjustment and increase belt longevity. Scheduled service intervals are straightforward and can be completed on-site by your own team.
Can the same mower handle both production mowing and establishment mowing?
For farms running both applications, the X-WAM S5 ZR's cut height range of 3/4" to 7 1/2" makes it better suited to mowing during establishment phases where grass has grown beyond standard production height. The Pegasus S5 and X-WAM S5 roller mowers are optimised for precision production mowing at lower heights.
What tractor horsepower do I need?
PTO requirements vary by machine. The Vulcan starts from 60hp PTO, the Pegasus S5 from 50hp, and both X-WAM variants require 90hp minimum. Always check PTO horsepower, not engine horsepower, and build in a buffer above the stated minimum for consistent performance in heavier growth or varying conditions.
