Profihopper 1250 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.

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.

Thanks to the superb collecting effect almost “everything” (leaves, chestnuts, acorns, etc. ...) is collected and the hopper capacity is optimised. In addition, the chopping up 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 aired in a single pass by simply adding the scarifying blades.

“The collection and the transfer of cuttings or leaves performs very well, even in wet conditions.”

Healthy animals thanks to clean paddocks. The Profihopper mows patches of rank grass and any horse droppings are reliably collected.

The two Profihoppers are highly appreciated by livery owners in practical use. The excellent and reliable mowing and scarifying system also leaves a lasting impression in the paddock, producing outstanding results.

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.

3. Scarifying blade 3 mm
4. Scarifying blade 2 mm
5. H77 long sharpened wing blade with scarifying blade
6. H60 sharpened wing blade with scarifying blade
