Mowing and mulching

Effective mowing in wet or dry, short or long grass!


The AMAZONE mowing and scarifying system
The Groundkeeper does a superb job in nearly all climatic or vegetation conditions. Its well-proven AMAZONE mowing and scarifying system is the guarantor for well-groomed lawns. Whether the sun is shining, or the early morning dew is still on the grass – work can begin. The Groundkeeper is not bothered whether the grass is wet, exceptionally tall or even thick –it always achieves first class results. Its large rotor diameter and tolerance to foreign objects makes it the ideal tool for the extensive maintenance of any green spaces.

The combination of reversible mowing blades and sharpened wing cutting blades offers the well balanced combination of little wear and of excellent mowing and collecting performance. Cuttings are finely shredded by the blades. This reduces composting time.


  • Simple changeover to mulching without conversion:
    The Groundkeeper can be used without collecting for the first pass, so that seeds and nutrients can return to the ground. A second pass a few weeks later will further process the clippings, working the important nutrients back into the soil helping to enrich it.


The Groundkeeper combines the advantages of all mowing methods 

    1. Mowing consists in cutting the blade of grass with a cutting device. The aim is to limit its growth. This operation therefore has to be performed regularly.
    2. Sickle mowing is a process, in which the plant is cut off completely at its base with a cutting device. A further operation is required to process the clippings produced into a more manageable length.

Mowing and shredding

The AMAZONE Groundkeeper cuts the stalk off at its base, and then chops it into several pieces which are either gathered up or allowed to fall to the ground. It combines the advantages of mowing and sickle cutting systems in a single machine. The Amazone Groundkeeper fulfills your green space maintenance requirements.

Scarifying

Upgrade your lawn care


Why scarify?
The natural growth of a lawn can be hindered by the formation of lawn thatch. Tight mowing intervals without collecting, poor management of rotting leaves and the remainder of clippings or the formation of moss all serve to suffocate the lawn; they prevent water, nutrients and air from getting into the soil and reaching the roots. The AMAZONE Groundkeeper removes and collects thatch from a lawn in a single pass.


Easy removal of lawn thatch and moss
The soil structure can be improved and renewed by carrying out trouble-free scarifying with the AMAZONE Groundkeeper. Scarifying blades, fitted to the rotor penetrate 1 to 2 mm into the turf, breaking up the upper earth layer, cutting off parasitic plants and thinning out the lawn surface. Lawn thatch is combed out, collected and simultaneously the soil is rolled. The combination of mowing and scarifying blades produces an outstanding suction effect.


Lawn thatch and moss stop a lawn breathing

The combination of H60 sharpened wing blades and scarifying blades regenerate the lawn to leave a clean finish









Tool-less conversion to scarifying – and done in seconds

Collecting

Clear out your lawn quickly and efficiently

  1. Optimum collecting and shredding of the leaves with the combination of the H77 long wing blades and scarifying blades


One machine for every application!

The powerful suction effect picks up almost “everything” (leaves, chestnuts, acorns, etc.). This ensures optimum utilisation of the hopper capacity. In addition, the shredding of the leaves by the rotating blades speeds up their decomposition. Often in the spring, autumn leaves remain covering the ground and the grass can only grow with difficulty. To improve and aid that grass growth, those leaves can be collected, and the lawn aerated in a single pass by simply adding in the scarifying blades.


Designed for efficiency!

The rotor’s high rotational speed, plus the combination of sharpened wing blades and scarifying blades make the Groundkeeper a highly efficient method of collecting, even in damp conditions. The robust SmartCut exact cut rotor makes short work of foreign objects.

SmartCut exact cut rotor

Outstanding cutting and collecting quality

The rotor has a large diameter and produces an air stream which gives the AMAZONE Groundkeeper an extremely high collecting capacity. The 2,650 rpm rotational speed of the rotor ensures a first-class mowing performance.

Seeking out alternative methods: AMAZONE, with this mower, helps your business forge ahead. Award-winning engineered solutions ensure perfect green space management.


Mower with SmartCut exact cut rotor: The heart of the mower

In contrast to conventional cylinder mowers or rotary mowers, the GH and HH fine flail mowers offer a significantly improved quality of cut and a higher output yet with a substantially reduced noise level.

The wing blades on the SmartCut exact cut rotor – arranged in a chevron formation – tirelessly cut the material at the set cutting height with millimetre precision. The cuttings – grass, wild flowers, leaves or other material – are blown into the hopper by the air flow generated by paddles on the rotor.

The hopper on the GH can hold up to 3,500 litres of cuttings. This means: even less downtime, even more convenience and comfortable working.

  • The GH's SmartCut exact cut rotor is equipped with sharpened wing blades, mowing blades and air paddles arranged in a chevron formation




The air flow carries the cuttings into the large collection hopper. A guide plate inside the hopper protects the front of the hood against stone impact. This prevents damage to the machine.

The mulch function can be optionally activated via a lever on the GH and GH-LT, or via the tractor hydraulics on the GH-S and GH-S Drive. The shredded cuttings remain left on the sward surface in this mode.

The benefits 

  • Precise mowing with long-life engineering 
  • Reliable conveyance of the cuttings via the air flow generated by air paddles on the rotor

High-lift discharge

Large hopper, quickly emptied


Convenient emptying

The high-lift discharge enables safe emptying into tall containers. The GH-LT can be emptied at a height of up to 1.8 metres, the GH-S at a height of up to 2.1 metres and the GH-S Drive at a height of up to 2.3 metres. The pivot point is positioned as far back as possible, so that tall containers can be fully filled – and comfortably from the tractor seat via the 3 buttons on the electro-hydraulic control unit. A lock on the hydraulic cylinder ensures safety when working on the rotor or collection hopper under the raised hopper. All components are easy to get at for cleaning.


The optional, electro-hydraulic control unit on the GH-LT, GH-S and GH-S Drive models allows all hydraulic functions to be easily controlled.

Emptying the hopper into high sided trailers or into taller containers is possible up to a height of 2.3 metres

Well thought-out in every detail

1. The "rubber protection" kit can be fitted as an option to prevent dust from swirling up from the gap between the hopper and the mowing deck towards the tractor driver
2. For machines with a drawbar:

  • Straight drawbar for attachment above the PTO shaft (standard)
  • Straight drawbar for attachment to tractor drawbar beneath the PTO shaft (optional equipment)

3. The fill level indicator for the hopper reliably and accurately shows the exact fill level




The hopper protection hood helps protect the hopper from the impacts of foreign objects

The GH can also work precisely at the roadside. Thanks to the fast transport speed, even long distances from job to job are no problem










For 3-point linkage mounted models:

  • The adjustable three-point linkage extension enhances the PTO shaft angle
