Heavy duty build option for extra versatility
The contractor range is available in standard build or heavier ‘S’ build. The ‘S’ models are fitted with a larger (200mm) diameter flail rotor and have a greater clearance between the flail rotor and the machine frame allowing for easier passage of material in long or very heavy mowing conditions. These machines are also more suitable for heavy use situations or in woodland and municipal areas where obstructions such as tree stumps may be encountered.

Flails
Heavy duty hammer flails are fitted as standard and can cut material of up to 60mm in diameter. The straight cutting edge gives an excellent finish.
