Vanmac Ltd announced this week they have been appointed as full-line distributors of the Progressive range of trailed and mounted rotary mowers for the professional grounds and sports turf market.

Having represented Progressive in the turf farm sector for several years, the extension of the partnership to incorporate distribution to the professional amenity sector is effective from today, 15th March 2021. Progressive design and manufacture rotary finishing mowers suitable for a wide range of applications – from golf courses to sports fields, turf producers and local authorities.

As part of the deal, available in the UK for the first time will be the tri-deck TDR-X contour mower. This features three independently floating decks that follow the contours of the ground, without scalping, offering a combined cutting width of 3.2m and an adjustable cutting height range from 9.5mm to 84.5mm. Along with other machines in the range, the mower takes advantage of Progressive’s Pro Lift-N-Turn technology, allowing the operator to temporarily raise the decks, with the PTO still engaged.

“Expanding our agreement with Progressive to cover the professional turf care market is absolutely fantastic news for Vanmac Ltd,” commented area sales manager Jeremy Vincent. “Their range is renowned for delivering durability and fantastic cut quality and it complements our other product lines, including Trilo and Brouwer Kesmac, fantastically.

"We can now offer those managing turf surfaces a comprehensive collection of equipment, together with parts service, all from under one roof. Over the next few months, we look forward to building a network of dedicated dealers to assist with the all-important back-up support and beginning demonstrations as soon as we can.”
