No more wheel marks. Suitable for Agricultural pasture, Playing Fields, Leisure areas and Amenity applications.
Featrures
- 8’ Cut
- Rugged and Simple
- Heavy Swinging Blades
- Spring Steel Rotors.
- The Offset Topper
is designed for general agricultural use where there is a specific requirement to avoid wheelmarks. Power requirement is 60kW ( 80 HP ). - A perfect Finish
is provided by fully overlapping twin rotors – no possibility of an uncut central strip. - Hydraulic Folding & Breakaway
for full protection and control from the tractor seat. There is no need to disconnect shafts for transport. Mechanical locking is provided to retain the machine in the transport position. - Strong, simple construction
incorporating foldings and pressings for rigidity. Also assists the smooth flow of cut material through the machine. - Hardened Spring Steel Blades
Pivot on hardened bushes. The blades are cranked to reduce any possibility of stone damage. - Drive
is through a heavy duty bevel gearboxes and shafts incorporating flexible couplings to minimise shock loads. Shear bolt protection is included in the PTO shaft. - Cutting Height
is variable between ½” – 4 “ ( 12mm-100mm ) by means of adjustable skids. - Good spreading
of cut material is provided by underbody dividers and deflectors. The blades are designed to give good turbulence. - Pivoting Suspension
system allows the Offset Topper to float over ground undulations. Spring cushioning is provided

Reinvigorate productive growth
- Whilst we would like grass to thrive and produce as much plant matter as possible in grazing pastures, we do not want it to go to seed. When this happens, the plant directs it’s energy away from producing the leaf towards growth of the stem and seed itself. This can happen when grass gets away from stock, or more commonly, through patchy grazing.
- Pasture that is going to seed can be recovered and growth reinvigorated by one pass with a Pasture Topper.
Management of Weeds
- By topping weeds prior to them going to seed their spread can be partially controlled, in particular in organic farming situations or on any farm where agrochemical use may be restricted.
