Hi Gang;
Over here the single bladed heavy duty rotary mowers are not big sellers. Yes they are cheaper to make and great for cutting really rough and woody vegetation. But they dont lave a nice finish.
So the most common type of rotary mowers are known as TOPPERS. This name comes from their primary use in trimming off dead stalks & tufts of grass from pastures - ie topping the growth.
This is a Teagle version with twin rotors with swing back & sharpenable tips. The rotors are staggered to give blade overlap. The headstock has centre mount or offset to right side of tractor to take out tractor wheel mark.
The height is adjusted by rebolting side skids up or down.
Various widths of single units are made to suit tractor PTO power. The gearbox is protected with slip clutch in the PTO shaft. Some are dirrect drive from gear box to rotors, others drive by V belts.
Cheers David
