For DGM Turf Contractors in Melbourne, Australia, the standard of finish is what sets the business apart. A sports field renovation and construction company that has grown into fine turf and commercial mowing contracts for local councils, DGM Turf needed a mower that could deliver a premium cut on community grounds that rarely offer perfect conditions. Max Greenway turned to the Trimax Pegasus S5 with OptiAdjust, and was one of the first private contractors in Australia to do so.
A Finish That Rivals a Cylinder
Quality of cut was the deciding factor for Max, and the real test was standard council fields with mixed species, patchy irrigation and heavy use. “With the NexaBlade technology and the height-change system with OptiAdjust, we’re producing a finish that generally rivals a cylinder cut,” he says. “It’s clean, neat and even, with no tearing. On a community ground that’s copped a rough week of weather and use, this is still delivering a surface that my clients can be proud of.”
Millimetre Precision From the Cab
Using a phone dedicated to each Pegasus, operators can adjust cutting height on the go without leaving the cab. “Within a couple of metres, we can click a button on the app and change the heights with millimetre precision,” Max says. That replaces what used to be a major job. “When we’re manually changing heights, it’s almost like a surgical procedure. You’ve got to set aside half a day for it. With OptiAdjust, it’s quick, easy to use and user-friendly.”
More Grounds, to a Consistent Standard
The time saved and a reliable finish have changed how DGM Turf plans its work. “It’s given us the ability to mow more and get across more grounds,” Max says. “We can set a day’s scope of works with confidence, knowing that we’ll achieve it to a consistent standard.” Having seen competing units in action, he adds, “Trimax is certainly leading the front of the field at the moment.”
Getting Grounds Back to the Community Faster
Chatting with the Trimax team off camera, Max also noted that the biggest win is what it means for the community. Because his crew can cover a ground quickly to a high standard, fields go back to the kids and clubs sooner. “We’re not shutting down a ground for two hours when we’re mowing,” he said. “Everyone gets more use of the asset. That’s what these grounds are here for, to be used.”
Why DGM Turf Bought Two
Asked whether he would recommend the Pegasus, Max joked, “I only want to be the only one with them. That’s why I bought two.” He sees OptiAdjust as essential for commercial mowing. “For your normal council sports ground, with mixed species of turf, undulating ground and varying moisture levels, the OptiAdjust system’s perfect for it.”
