Mulch as you mow – a smarter approach to leaf fall

Mulch as you mow – a smarter approach to leaf fall

Fallen leaves can quickly create extra work for grounds maintenance teams, particularly after periods of wet and windy weather.

For owners of Trimax Snake mowers, the Snake Leaf Mulch Kit offers a practical way to manage leaf fall while mowing, reducing the need for separate blowing, sweeping and collection.

Whether covering golf course surrounds, sports grounds, parks or estates, fallen leaves can mean hours of additional maintenance. Clearing them away takes time, labour and equipment, while removing organic matter that could otherwise be returned to the soil

For sites already using a Trimax Snake mower, the Leaf Mulch Kit provides a practical, cost-effective way to incorporate leaf management into the regular mowing operation.

The smart solution

Designed to be fitted when needed, the Trimax Snake Leaf Mulch Kit transforms the Snake into an effective leaf-mulching solution.

  • Quick install: Fit or remove in under 60 minutes. Temporarily fit kit when required.
  • Retrofittable: Compatible with existing Snake S1, S2 and S3 models.
  • Tough design: Handles pine cones and small branches with ease.
  • Fine mulch finish: Finely processes leaves returning organic matter to the soil, supporting soil health.

By mulching leaves as you mow, the Snake Leaf Mulch Kit can help reduce the labour and equipment required for leaf clearance, while making use of organic material that might otherwise be collected and removed.

Tried, Tested, Trusted

Woolley Park Golf Club has been using Trimax mowers since 1995. When leaf fall became a challenge, Trimax stepped in and offered a demonstration of the Snake Mulch Kit.

The results impressed Head Greenkeeper John Rowbottom:

“What a job it’s done! It’s been out in the worst conditions – a very damp, sticky day – and it’s performed excellently. Once we get out there in better conditions for a dry cut, it’s going to turn those leaves to dust!”
