Ryetec’s flagship Peruzzo Contractor Flail Mower Collector made a star appearance on BBC’s Countryfile this week, showcasing its exceptional capabilities in real-world use across the UK countryside. The episode, which focused on heathland and wildflower meadow management, featured multiple clips of the robust flail collector in action, providing national recognition for one of Ryetec’s most versatile and in-demand machines.

As a trusted supplier of professional mowing and mulching equipment, Ryetec has long supported estate managers, contractors, and conservation teams with machinery engineered to handle sensitive landscapes and demanding terrain. The Peruzzo Contractor Collector exemplifies this commitment to quality and performance.

One of the standout challenges in wildflower meadow and heathland restoration is nutrient removal, a crucial process for long-term habitat success. Unlike standard mowers that simply cut vegetation and leave it behind, the Contractor Collector simultaneously cuts and collects, removing biomass and reducing soil fertility to encourage biodiversity and native plant growth.

The featured model includes:

- A heavy-duty flail cutting system with 1.4kg hammer flails, capable of tackling dense scrub up to 100mm in diameter

- A high-capacity intake designed to handle bulky, fibrous vegetation

- Robust construction is ideal for long working days in varied conditions, from estates and farms to conservation zones

Seeing the machine in use on Countryfile is a testament to its practical value and performance in the field. For land managers working on ecological restoration, low-fertility meadow creation, or sensitive area management, the Peruzzo Contractor Collector provides a reliable and effective solution.

Ryetec has supplied professional machinery to the UK market for over 30 years, with a focus on durability, serviceability, and results. The appearance on Countryfile is not just a proud moment for the team — it’s a demonstration of how specialist equipment can play a central role in supporting sustainable land management across the country.
