Profihopper 1500 self-propelled mower

Wide range of applications

The Profihopper's flexible application makes it perfect for lawn and landscape management in parks, cemeteries, residential complexes, sunbathing lawns and campsites ensuring efficient machine utilisation. This is further enhanced by the facility for collecting leaves.

The Profihopper is also suitable for the maintenance of high-quality grassed areas on golf courses, in paddocks and sports facilities plus, thanks to its lighting system and cab, it is also suitable for night-time operation - this very wide range of application, combined with its high output potential means that the machine can be operated very economically.

Mowing deck and auger conveyers
Additional new ways: AMAZONE leads the way with its SmartCut cutting rotor and PowerCompactor auger conveyor system. Multi-award-winning engineered solutions ensure perfect green space management.

The cutting deck and conveyor section work hand in hand: the heart of the Profihopper

The mowing unit and conveyor section are at the heart of the Profihopper, which, as a fine flail mower, enables a significantly better mowing quality and better cutting performance than conventional cylinder or rotary mowers, whilst significantly reducing noise levels.

The wing blades on the SmartCut exact cut rotor - arranged in a chevron format - tirelessly cut the material with millimetre precision at the set cutting height. After collection, the cuttings - grass, wildflowers, leaves, or other material - are transported to the central longitudinal auger by the cross auger in the PowerCompactor system.

This is where the PowerCompactor shows its greatest strength: the cuttings are tightly consolidated during their transport to the rear collection hopper. After compaction by the PowerCompactor, up to 45 % more cuttings are packed into the collection hopper. The Profihopper 1250, with its 730 l hopper capacity, can hold up to 1,000 l of compacted cuttings, whilst the Profihopper 1500, with 1,100 l tank capacity, can even hold a maximum of 1,600 l of cuttings. Compared to mowers without compaction, the effective collection hopper capacity is significantly increased. With the result that: even less downtime and even more convenient and comfortable working.

The feed section of the Profihopper operates without the need for a blower fan or any air assistance. A very robust, durable solution that reliably prevents damage to the machine, with its mechanical overload safety device and electronic monitoring, whilst noise and dust generation are reduced as far as possible. Low-noise, largely dust-free operation with maximum impact and a precise profile of cut - convenient and user-friendly. The mower is in a completely different performance class.

If necessary, the mulch flap can be fitted without the need for any tools. The mown and shredded cut material is then returned to the mown area.

The benefits: 

• Precise mowing using durable technology. 
• Increased capacity of the collection hopper by compaction of the cuttings. 
• Low noise and dust generation thanks to auger conveyor system instead of a blower fan.

The best technology can only realise its full benefit and functionality if it is operated professionally. This requires a high degree of comfort and user-friendliness in order to remain focused at all times, even with long working hours.

This is exactly what the driver's seat of the Profihopper is designed for. The controls are easy to reach and adjust, while the seat with integrated heating guarantees comfort.

The optional cab on the Profihopper 1500 also offers air conditioning and protection from the weather, a radio and an optional reversing camera for a better view. Best conditions in the workplace!

Compared with either rotary or cylinder mowers, the Profihopper, as a fine flail mower operates reliably, thanks to its design, even at noticeably higher cutting heights. Both in short and long grass, the Profihopper provides a superb profile of cut - in virtually all weathers and vegetation.

The tried-and-tested AMAZONE mowing and scarifying system is your guarantor for well-groomed lawns. Whether the sun is shining, or the early morning dew is still on the grass – work gets going. The Profihopper does not mind whether the grass is wet, exceptionally tall or even dense – it always produces first class results.

Through the special mounting of the knives on the big diameter rotor, the grass-stalks are cut off and then shredded many times. For mulching, the mulch flap is just inserted into the Profihopper and the cuttings are spread evenly across the mown area. Important nutrients are consequently then fed back into the soil.

The AMAZONE Profihopper is also a superb scarifier. The scarifying knives, which are quickly attached without tools, slit the turf and thin out the lawn’s surface. Thatch is removed, collected and at the same time the surface is rolled. And so, due to the scarifying, the improved light, air, water and nutrient exchange results in a significant improvement to the soil structure.

• Mowing and scarifying in a single pass.

The powerful suction effect captures 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.

The auger system is not sensitive to foreign objects, so the collection of tins, paper and other rubbish lying around in parks and leisure areas, is no problem for the Profihopper.

• In practise, the two Profihoppers are highly appreciated by livery owners. The Profihopper mows patches of rank grass and any horse droppings are reliably collected. Healthy animals thanks to clean paddocks.

Different blades are available for individual applications

The long-life qualities of the blades result in little wear. In addition, the blade system is resistant to foreign obstacles because each blade is independently suspended.
