New long reach hedgecutter for farmers
The 4.8m horizontal reach Agri-Longer 4834 is a robust and simple-to-operate hedge and verge cutter with a 1.2m flail head that offers 220º rotation. Notable features include the ability to work safely and effectively in tight spaces and behind the tractor wheel, due to the centred main boom base that also allows transport within the tractor width.
Arm construction is from sturdy 8mm box section steel and hinges are flanged and protected for minimal play and good hose holding. All machine joints, including the hydraulic rams, are enclosed and greased-for-life for minimum wear and maximum durability. The Agri-Longer is fitted with mechanical safety on the main arm. Hoses are afforded generous protection through either metal casing or braided sleeves and are fixed through plastic flanges that ensure solid holding, precise routing and quick disassembly when required.
Hydraulic drive motors are fitted with oil coolers as standard on both models, and there are separate and fully independent pumps serving the rotor and arm movements. The Agri-Longer operates with a dedicated 34hp rotor circuit.
The flail head is compact for easy access and on the Agri-Longer comes as standard with universal ‘Y’ flails. Ground following is aided by a lift control system similar to that operating successfully on Kuhn mowers. This lift control system, which operates through movement in the main boom ram, can be switched on or off and works in tandem with the lateral rotation of the flail head to ensure optimum ground following.
The Agri-Longer is operated by remote teleflex control levers.
