ANNUAL EQUIPMENT & PRODUCT BUYER'S GUIDE MOWERS
Progressive Turf Equipment, Inc. TDR-22/TDR-22G – Roller Finishing Mower The TDR-22/TDR-22G is the most widely used 22-ft. roller mower in North America. It’s available with bolt-on decks in either painted or the popular galvanized finish. Featuring enhanced fore/aft deck balance, beneficial in soft conditions, a cut height as low as ½-in. and an optional wide profile tire with 70 percent greater contact area to minimize ground pressure and soil compaction. Designed with maintenance free blade spindles and 100-hour PTO shaft greasing intervals for reduced maintenance. Equipped with the industry exclusive Pro Lift-N-Turn™ makes turning easier on the turf. Lifting all decks during a turn prevents crop damage from the rollers sliding across the turf, leaving more turf that can be harvested from the headlands. Automatic mechanical stops prevent the decks from raising too far. Pro Lift-N-Turn™ has eliminated the issues competitive models face when turning on the headlands and it’s all done without needing wires, sensors or control valves.

HEX Shaft Rollers All Progressive roller mowers are equipped with hardened, HEX shaped shafts at the ends of each deck roller, as standard equipment. Field proven to increase component life and reduce routine maintenance, the HEX design provides positive bearing engagement and ensures that as the mower moves, the supporting bearings always turn. This eliminates any chance of a round roller-end shaft turning inside the bearing leading to pre-mature failure of both the bearing and shaft. No specialized collars or sleeves to worry about as you would with less robust designs. The heavy wall, full length steel rollers remain unchanged, including the rounded and internally reinforced anti-scuff ends. Like many of the other new features Progressive has introduced, older mowers can be updated to the new hardened HEX roller shaft design and HEX bearing without replacing the entire roller or side channels. Now that’s Progressive!

Pro Lift-N-Turn™ The productivity advantage of Progressive’s exclusive Pro Lift-N-Turn™ is standard equipment on all Progressive 15.5, 22, 26 and 30-foot roller mowers. Using only one hydraulic function, operators have the ability to slightly raise the decks off the ground temporarily with the PTO still engaged. This makes turning easier on the turf as the weight of the mower is distributed between the tractor and the high floatation tires. It also reduces the number of PTO engagement cycles required. Lifting all of the decks prevents crop damage from the rollers sliding across the turf during a turn - leaving more headland turf that can be harvested. Automatic mechanical stops prevent each deck from raising too far (See arrow). No vulnerable cylinder position sensors, wires or electrical solenoid valves are needed as with other systems. Pro Lift- N-Turn™ has simply eliminated the issues competitive roller mowers face when turning on the headlands.
Progressive Turf Equipment, Inc. Reduced Maintenance Progressive designs our mowers as if we were maintaining the mower ourselves, so eliminating daily service requirements was an important design goal. For several years all of Progressive’s mowers have been equipped with field proven, maintenance free sealed bearings in the blade spindles as standard equipment. This means you don’t have to worry about a missed service. Adding in the extended 100-hour PTO shaft greasing intervals, and fewer grease fittings overall all mean more time cutting – less time maintaining; and more $$ in your pocket!
