The Profihopper for parks, sports fields, fairways, cemeteries, paddocks, campsites, airfields, road sides, car parks,…
Mow
The Profihopper will give you excellent results in nearly
every atmospheric or vegetative conditions. How do we
know – because the AMAZONE mow and aeration system
has proven effective many, many times over. Producing
well-groomed lawns whether the sun is shining or the early
morning dew is still on the grass. Wet, especially long or
dense grass does not stop the Profihopper either –
it always achieves first class results.
Roll
The rear roller of the Profihopper consolidates the soil
around the grass roots by firming the surface. This not only
improves the exchange with nutriments, but also produces
a beautifully presented striped finish.

Scarifying
To keep and maintain turf it must be scarified and the
versatility of the Profihopper will allow you to scarify and
collect whenever you want to. Equipped with scarifying
knives, the Profihopper will remove dead grass, moss and
undesirable plants, which would otherwise prevent mois-
ture, light and air from reaching the grass. It takes only a
few minutes to swap from a cutting to scarifying configura-
tion - without using any tools.
Use of the Profihopper will help keep your grass strong
and green throughout the year. A mechanical treatment
that is good for the grass, the environment, and your
pocket.

Leaf collection Debris collection
Thanks to the extremely powerful vacuum effect created When working in parks one often has to collect plastic bot-
by the blades on the rotor, the Profihopper collects nearly tles, cans and other debris. No worries, they’ll be picked
everything it passes over (leaves, chestnuts, acorns, up and compressed in the hopper without any problems.
etc…). The material collected is crushed, transferred and
compressed into the hopper, and that alone starts a
quicker composting process.
Early in the year the grass struggles to grow through the
leaves which had not been collected. To remove the old
leaves and to optimise the growth of the turf, simply insert
the scarifying knives between the cutting blades to collect
the leaves and scarify in one pass.
Mulching
It takes only few seconds to install the mulching flap inside
the cutting unit. The rotor of the Profihopper naturally cuts
the grass stem into a multitude of small pieces, that are
evenly spread on the entire working width.

Advantages

At anytime and everywhere: quick and precise work! Saves your nerves, time and money!

The top 10 advantages:

make yourself the comparison!

  1. Out-front 1.25m cutting deck with integrated auger

collection system.

  2. Precise work even into a corner and without crushing

the uncut grass.

  3. Compact with 0°-turn. It’s fast and manoeuvrable on all

surfaces.

  4. Working in every atmospheric condition, even when the

morning dew is still on the grass. So lets get started
early in the morning!

  5. Versatile all year round use

• spring = scarifying
• summer = mowing
• autumn = leaf collection

  6. Saving time when emptying: The UNIQUE auger collec-

tion/compression system enhances the hopper capacity
from 730 to over 1000 l of cut material.

  7. The collecting system that fears nothing! Almost any-

thing can be picked up – grass, leaves, paper, cans,
plastic bottles, chestnuts, pine cones, etc.

  8. The auger collection system does not require noisy air

support. As such it is almost dust free and consequently
reduces noise nuisance for the user, the passers-by and
the inhabitants.

  9. High level emptying, up to 2.10 m straight into a lorry or

a trailer. Comfortable and quick to empty - wherever you
want.

10. Change all blades without the use of any tools – fast,
10 easy and safe. 11
