Established in the 1940s, Aedes supplied building materials and agricultural equipment to customers in Northern Italy after World War II, hence the name being derived from Latin, meaning “house, temple, construction.” In the 1970s, the company’s agriculture division separated in to manufacturing specialist machinery for fruit and viticulture in Italy. Today, Aedes has broadened its reach across Europe and has built a strong reputation for delivering quality, reliability, and innovative machinery.
Among the list of machines offered by Aedes is the BioSystem RMF, a professional mower designed with innovation in mind. This robust mower is engineered for grass cutting and inter-vine grass removal on both sides of the row in a single pass, buds are also removed due to the Inter-vine strimmer spinning vertically. All this is packaged into a short machine specifically designed to be easy to manoeuvre in tight headlands and available in 11 different cutting widths from 1.10m to 3.65m.
The mowing deck is driven by the tractor PTO, with power being delivered through an integrated freewheel. When the tractor PTO is shut off the flywheel prevents inertia from the mowing deck being transferred back into your tractor, thus ultimately protecting the tractors internal PTO packs from damage. Power is then delivered through gearboxes to the cutting blades, the advantage of a Gearbox is that they do not need adjusting, are robust, can handle higher torque and speeds, and have a longer lifespan than drive belts.
At the rear of the mower, are the BioSystem inter-row arms. These hydraulically driven strimming heads are each fitted with 32 robust double-headed 6mm strimmer wires with Kevlar cores for durability. What’s more, they can be easily controlled from the comfort of the tractor cab and can be deactivated when you prefer to focus solely on mowing.
Designed for efficiency, the inter-row arms feature gas springs allowing the BioSystem strimmer head to really get in-between the vines for effective grass removal, with no damage to the stem and removing unwanted buds.
A Biosystem RMF is also available, featuring a flail cutting head that replaces the mower blades but offering all the same features and benefits. www.aedes.bz
