Pegasus S5
For Hamilton City Council, maintaining large public spaces efficiently and to a high standard is essential. With extensive sports fields, sloped banks, and parks across the city, the council relies on equipment that performs consistently while maximising productivity. For Paul Mactamara, the Trimax Pegasus S5 has become an essential part of getting the job done right—quickly, reliably, and with a beautifully clean finish.
Efficiency That Transforms the Workday
Before switching to the Pegasus S5, mowing large areas was a time-consuming task. Paul recalls that their previous mower took around three hours to complete a job that the Pegasus can now finish in just an hour and a half. The efficiency gains don’t stop there. When compared to a small tractor mower, which can take 6–7 hours to mow a sizeable area, the Pegasus S5 reduces the job to just three hours, significantly improving productivity.
“It’s quick, efficient, a beautiful cut,” Paul says. With the Pegasus S5, Hamilton’s sports grounds are maintained faster and with more precision—freeing up valuable time for other essential tasks.
Outstanding Performance on Varied Terrain
Hamilton City Council has many sports fields built on hilly terrain, creating challenging conditions for mowing. Paul notes that the Pegasus S5 handles these environments with confidence, throwing out the grass beautifully, leaving behind a clean, professional finish. Whether working across hillsides or level fields, the Pegasus delivers consistent results across all areas.
Low-Maintenance Operation
Despite its high output, the Pegasus S5 remains surprisingly low maintenance. Paul spends around 2.5–3 hours a week on greasing—averaging just half an hour a day to hose down and grease the machine. This minimal maintenance requirement keeps the mower running smoothly while reducing downtime, helping the council maintain tight schedules throughout busy mowing seasons.
Reliability You Can Count On
Reliability is crucial for keeping large public spaces well-maintained, and the Pegasus S5 consistently delivers. “Very reliable,” Paul says. “I haven’t had any issues with it, and I don’t have to go for any spindles, any bearings, or any belt tensions.” With no breakdowns and consistent performance, the Pegasus S5 keeps Hamilton’s mowing operations running smoothly day after day.
Designed to Make the Job Enjoyable
Paul speaks highly of Trimax’s mower designs, saying “We’ve always had them, and they’ve just got better.” A feature he loves about the Pegasus S5’s carefully considered design is highlighted when transporting between sites. The wings come up flush with the tractor making it easy to see straight down behind with your mirrors.
Paul also highlights the QuikLift temporary lift system as a major benefit: “You can just look in the mirror, lift the lever up… jumps into curb jump over the top of the footpath, drop them down again, back into float and you’re away mowing.”
For Paul, the Pegasus S5 isn’t just a tool—it’s something he enjoys using. When mowing with the Trimax Pegasus he says, “I’m in my happy place.” His final verdict on the Pegasus S5? “This S5, great… I love it. I would not want to be using anything else.”
