Schulte's Proven Design and Long History of Dependability

Posted by Jeff Brown Oct 23, 2024

When you’ve been around for 11 decades-plus, you must be doing something right. That’s especially true when your manufacturing company started in Englefeld, Saskatchewan and has now won over customers from way down the southern states, who are saying things like this:

“After our company switched to Schulte, our revenue per cutter went up 33%... We think the Schulte cuts better, period. It’s unbelievable the quality of cut that we can get at what we would call a high rate of mowing speed. We get paid by the acre, so productivity is a big deal for us, ground speed is a big deal for us” 
- Roman Albert, Owner of Lot Maintenance of Oklahoma Inc., Tulsa, OK

“I cut water levies around the Everglades in Florida and have put this Schulte mower through its paces. It has never let me down and outperforms any cutter I have ever used before. The quality and strength of this cutter is second to none.” 
– John Pellicone, Mower Operator, West Palm Beach, FL

There’s only one way to keep your customer base growing and enthused for over a century – continual improvement. It’s something Schulte’s laser-focused on.



Evolving Strength and Features

“The rental department's been working with Schulte mowers, rock pickers and rock rakes since the mid-1990s,” says Ken Barlott, who heads up the Flaman Rentals Department in Nisku, Alberta.  

“We've seen the evolution of five different series of mowers and the constant ease-of-use and durability improvements over the years.” He points to Schulte's Series 5 mowers, including the XH1500 “batwing shredder” model, beefed up by the overall weight of the machine with reinforced strength in all the right places. 

“The PTO drive line design, including the clutch system, has evolved over the years into a simpler, easier system to work with and maintain onsite,” Ken says. Being in rentals, he’s also duly impressed with the larger rim and higher tire spec, which make transport smoother. 



More than Mowers

Flaman also rents and sells Schulte’s likewise durable and efficient rock removal equipment. Meanwhile, an old favourite has been reintroduced to the lineup. Like the manufacturer’s mowers and rock pickers, it’s coming back stronger than ever.   

“Schulte was in the tillage business back in the 80s,” Ken says. “Within the last few years, they've gotten back into tillage with their DHX line of disk harrows and a couple other products. The DHX disc harrows have been successful for both our Sales and Rentals departments. 

“It's another product they've Built really tough and strong with a lot of steel to be a long-lasting, durable product that that does a good job at the same time. 

“It's a pretty crowded market, with a lot of the high-speed tillage tools out there. But. Schulte’s come to offer a somewhat unique disc harrow design that's heavier than most, does a good job and holds up very well.”
