The TREX model was first introduced in 2015 with a forty-four inch (44”) cutting deck, the latest model now offers a sonar based collision avoidance system. With a 20 HP remote start Kawasaki engine, and dual cutting blades, the TREX 44 can cut through high wet grass on slopes up to 50 degrees.
The dual hybrid (electric) drive system allows for agile zero turn radius while cutting either forward or in reverse. Hybrid drive eliminates the need for hydraulic oil systems and reduces weight and cost. Less weight means the TREX can operate in any soft or muddy terrain because the track ground pressure is a minimal 1.16 lbs. per square inch. Other options include sonar based collision avoidance; roll cage, and soft bumpers.
The TREX has full remote control for start, stop, and motion control as well as blade deployment using an Ogura electric clutch. The operating range is up to 2000 feet from the controller, which has a battery life of up to 20 hours and is ideal for steep slopes, inaccessible locations and where operator safety is of the highest concern.
