Introduction
Speedtrap™ Chute picks up where the mower manufacturer left off, giving operators the ability to maximize their aesthetic goals for their yards and customers. It balances the mower's full and even discharge capabilities, with the ability to keep grass out of manicured landscape areas. Built with a strict adherence to simplicity, reliability, efficiency, and affordability, Speedtrap provides low maintenance, ultra-reliable, and user-friendly affordable discharge solutions to lawn professionals and home-owners alike.
Operation
Speedtrap Chute blocker operation is controlled by hand with a rigid, yet flexible cable that is loosely attached near the operators controls for convenience. The Speedtrap allows operators various choices ranging between full discharge, variable angle deflection, and fully closed discharge blocking. The variable function of the Speedtrap provides a more custom approach to discharge, allowing operators the on-the-fly ability to quickly direct the angle of clipping disbursement, minimizing some of the typical pile ups that come from a full closure.
Operating example:
As you approach a manicured area, simply reach down with your hand and pull on the cable, and the Speedtrap drops into the fully closed position, blocking discharge. Pull back on the cable again, and the chute will pivot back up into its resting position. Hold the plate partially open with the cable to allow continued discharge of clippings, at the angle which suits your needs. Various installs/demos can be seen at: https://YouTube.com/@SpeedtrapCHUTE
Why Speedtrap Chute?
As contractors ourselves, we know the demands of the commercial mowing arena. We know a timely shut down of discharge can either make or break a service, and the importance of increasing efficiency when and where we can. We ourselves needed a "set-and-forget" chute system that would: block grass on demand, do it quick and easy, hold up long term, and pop on and off for when we did our bagging. We needed it to be easy to operate, so whoever came on to mow for us could use and understand it. So we built the Speedtrap Chute, and it does just that!
When it's done right, simple just works! Bring us on board and let us come work for you, and you’ll see the Speedtrap become one of the most affordable and reliable improvements made to your mowing system.
