Description
Protea BG760 Bowling Green Mowers
The BG760 (30") Bowling Green Mower Range is a heavy-duty series of professional cylinder mowers designed specifically for the maintenance of bowling greens, cricket pitches, tennis courts, croquet lawns, and other fine turf surfaces where an exceptionally high-quality finish is required. Built in South Africa and trusted by turf professionals for decades, the BG760 is renowned for its durability, precision cutting, and consistent performance.
At the heart of the BG760 range is a precision 16-blade cutting cylinder, engineered to deliver a very high clip rate for an ultra-smooth, tournament-quality finish. This ensures a dense, even playing surface that meets the demanding standards of bowling clubs and professional sports facilities.
The range includes multiple configurations to suit different operating environments and preferences, including the 2-speed electric model, variable-speed (ACE) electric version, and petrol-powered models for areas without reliable power supply. Each variant is designed to deliver the same exceptional cutting quality with different power and control options.
All BG760 models feature a robust heavy-duty chassis, smooth steel front and rear roller system, and a 4-section rear roller with individual drive, ensuring excellent ground contour following and reduced turf marking. The integrated teasing brush helps lift grass before cutting, improving presentation and overall surface consistency.
Designed for long-term commercial use, the BG760 range also supports grooming and maintenance attachments, making it a versatile solution for full turf management programmes, not just mowing.
