Why does my Trimax SnakeS2 Measuring Instruments mower vibrate excessively?
- A
  adamsmatthewAug 20, 2025
  Excessive vibration in your Trimax Measuring Instruments mower can stem from several causes. It could be due to excessive PTO speed, so ensure you run the PTO at 540rpm. Other potential causes include missing or badly damaged blades (replace them), the primary driveshaft being fitted incorrectly (fit the constant velocity joint to the tractor), worn driveshafts (repair or replace), or the primary driveshaft angle exceeding 80° (limit turns, especially when reversing).

What to do if drive belts are slipping on my Trimax Measuring Instruments?
- K
  karenschneiderAug 22, 2025
  If the drive belts on your Trimax Measuring Instruments are slipping, several factors could be at play. It might be due to excessive ground speed (run PTO at 540rpm and reduce transmission speed), rotating parts not turning freely (check for and remove debris fouling blades or check blade spindle bearings and replace if necessary), excessive mower scalping (raise cutting height), loose drive belts (check the spring on the auto belt tension system), worn-out drive belts (replace them), non-standard belts fitted (use only genuine Trimax parts), or a tractor that's too powerful (use a less powerful tractor or reduce speed).

Why is my Trimax Measuring Instruments leaving excessive wheel marks or a poor cutting finish?
- E
  Emily CameronAug 25, 2025
  Excessive wheel marks or a poor cutting finish with your Trimax Measuring Instruments can occur for several reasons. The PTO speed might be too slow or too fast (run PTO at 540rpm). It could also be due to the cutting height being too high (lower cutting height), excessive ground speed (run PTO at 540rpm and reduce transmission speed), blades that are missing, damaged, or worn out (replace blades), ground that is too wet (wait for the ground to dry out), cutting too much at once (raise the cutting height for the first cut, then lower it and cut again in the opposite direction), or lush grass sticking to the underside of the mower (try running the PTO at 450rpm and use the transmission to maintain ground speed).

  If your Trimax Measuring Instruments requires excessive power, consider these possible causes: rotating parts may not be turning freely (check for and remove debris fouling blades, and check/replace blade spindle bearings if necessary), the PTO speed might be too fast (run PTO at 540rpm), the ground speed may be too high (run PTO at 540rpm and reduce transmission speed), or the cutting height may be too low (raise the cutting height, or cut more frequently).

What to do if there is oil or grease on the drive belts of my Trimax SnakeS2?
- S
  susanbellAug 27, 2025
  If you find oil or grease on the drive belts of your Trimax Measuring Instruments, it could be due to too much oil in the gearbox (check the gearbox oil level, drain to the correct level, and replace the belts) or leaking gearbox seals (inspect the gearbox for leaks, repair if necessary, and replace the belts).

How to fix some long grass left un-cut by Trimax Measuring Instruments?
- M
  meganbutlerAug 29, 2025
  If your Trimax Measuring Instruments is leaving some long grass uncut, it might be due to blades that are missing, damaged, or worn out (replace blades). Other possible causes include debris trapped under the mower (clear the debris) or a dirty mower (wash grass from cutting chambers after use).

Why is my Trimax Measuring Instruments cutting too much at once?
- R
  rstevensonAug 31, 2025
  To address cutting too much at once with your Trimax Measuring Instruments, try running the PTO at 540rpm and varying the transmission to travel more slowly. Alternatively, raise the cutting height for the first cut, then lower it and cut again in the opposite direction.

Why does my Trimax Measuring Instruments scalp excessively?
- T
  Traci BrownSep 2, 2025
  Excessive scalping with your Trimax Measuring Instruments can occur if the cutting height is too low, so raise the cutting height. Consider fitting optional Anti Wear Skids (AWS).

What causes excessive clumping or clippings build up over rear roller of Trimax SnakeS2?
- T
  Thomas ShawSep 4, 2025
  Excessive clumping or clippings building up over the rear roller of your Trimax Measuring Instruments may be caused by the steel anti-droop strip under the rubber flap being bent and blocking the exit path. Straighten the steel anti-droop strip to resolve this.
