This topper has been designed to be easy to operate while also providing class
-
leading performance. The dual heavy
-
duty rotors with swinging blade system allow the topper to withstand the excessive pressures of wet conditions and to
absorb small impacts without effecting performance.
The cutting height is adjustable in convenient steps from the minimum depth of 30mm to a maximum depth of 120mm.
The depth is easily adjusted by altering the position of the skids which are positioned at each side of the topper. These
skids ensure that the topper provides a uniform cut without grounding while on undulating pastures.
This topper will successfully operate in wet conditions and on heavy pasture such as rushes, however it is unsuitable for
topping set

aside. While this topper is primarily designed for agricultural use it performs excellently when used for top-
ping playing fields or other local authority areas.
