The cutter head design is of a ‘double skin’ construction for greater strength and longer
life. The drive is by means of ‘vee’ belts from the hydraulic motor to the rotor, with the
drive completely contained within the width of head for a cleaner cut.
Twin ‘vee’ belts take the drive from the motor to the rotor - giving a reliable drive with the
added benefit of anti-shock protection that a belt drive system provides.
A hydraulically powered ‘breakback’ system is built into all models. This is primarily to
protect components when encountering obstructions, but also acts as an aid when cutting
in difficult and awkward corners.
Two parking stand legs are fitted to the machine, which once the machine has been
attached to the tractor should be folded away in the ‘stow’ position.
A hydraulically powered breakback system (100° max slew) is built into all models - this
is primarily to protect machine components should obstructions be encountered whilst
working, but also acts as an aid when cutting in difficult and awkward corners.
Every machine has ‘angle head flotation’ as standard – on cable machines this is engaged
by moving the head rotation lever beyond the normal actuation range into a detented
‘float’ position, on electric machines a switch engages the head float.
‘Lift float’ is available as an option on the machine.
All machines have a relief valve in the primary ram system, this limits the pressure which
can be generated in the drop side of the cylinder – the cutting head cannot therefore be
‘driven’ into the ground in any circumstances.
