Force
John Galloway operates a kiwifruit and avocado orchard in the Bay of Plenty, where reliable equipment is essential for managing pruning material, grass, and orchard floor maintenance throughout the year. With experience using Trimax equipment over many years, John needed a mower that could handle seasonal changes in workload without constant repairs or downtime. The Trimax Force 205 has proven to be a dependable, low-maintenance solution across multiple orchard applications.
Built to Handle Seasonal Orchard Work
The Trimax Force 205 plays a key role in John’s orchard operations, completing around 100 hours of work each year. Approximately 50 of those hours are spent mulching kiwifruit prunings during winter, before switching over to avocado and grass mowing for the remainder of the year. This versatility allows John to rely on a single mower throughout the seasons rather than needing multiple machines for different jobs.
Proven Reliability with Minimal Maintenance
Reliability has been one of the standout benefits of the Trimax Force 205. John highlights that breakdowns have never been an issue. “As with all Trimax gear I’ve had in the past, nothing breaks on it,” he says.
This keeps maintenance and costs minimal. John only replaces flails around every five years, and belts may also be changed on a similar schedule. Beyond that, ongoing maintenance demands are very low. “There’s no debris going under the tractor, nothing breaks on it,” John adds, highlighting the durability and clean operation of the Force.
Long-Term Support You Can Rely On
In addition to machine performance, John values the ongoing support he has received from Trimax over time. “The support through Trimax has been fantastic over a long period of time,” he says. That long-term relationship and dependable backup give him confidence that his equipment will continue to perform season after season.
A Recommendation Based on Experience
After years of using Trimax equipment and relying on the Force 205 in his orchard, John has no hesitation in recommending the brand. “I’d certainly recommend Trimax gear to anybody,” he says.
