That to me is a little dream machine, - no dangerous high speed flails and flying debris, no high revs or pto stress on the tractor, just easy as she goes. The secret is to use it annually, so that there is no heavy fibre growth to cut. 👍👏👏👏
It’s a Rinieri BRM150. Made in Italy. I don’t know if it would fit on the tractor you mention, if it has a standard 3 point linkage it should. The mounting system comes with the machine, there are two extra links to stabilise it and level it. On the day it was delivered the guy from the dealership spent a few hours setting it up on the tractor and welding up a bracket for the controls.
I’ve had it about 6 or 7 years, it only comes out for a week or so once a year around this time. I’m very happy with it now, but it took me a while to get the hang of it. When I got it first I thought I was going to just put the tractor in gear and fly along, but it didn’t work like that. Our hedges are quite heavy and it takes a few passes to get a good finish. When you’re finished cutting you then have to gather up the cuttings if you want it to look tidy.
It’ll cut broom handle size stuff as long as you go slowly. It’s sold as a hedge trimmer, so I don’t think it’s designed for heavy cutting. The knives on the finger bar are the standard type available from your local farm machinery supply shop. One thing to note is that it cuts the bushes like a scissors and they fall down on to the ground and need to be gathered up afterwards.
on annual growth they are every bit as fast as any other machine ...........they have a 1.5 meter head ........used a mcconnel swing trim back in the day on a 165 massey 6 gallons of diesel would see you through the day at 1100 rpm would do 2 years growth also but it was harder on the machine ........
It’s an expensive little machine and the independent hydraulic system costs extra. If your tractor hydraulics has a good enough flow you wouldn’t need that. I got mine from: dansomachinery.com, they have a used one for sale on their website at the moment.
It's best when they do it along the road side , and leave all their shite around on the paths and roads , not to mention when it goes down the gullies and blocks them . Need stricter rules and regs on our farmers , if its not this its the mud they leave behind after coming out of a muddy field making the roads greasier than an old frying pan .....its a joke
You should volunteer to help them then and clear up the mess they make. Don’t complain if you don’t understand what you’re talking about and eat food which is a product of mud on the road farming activities and hedgerow maintenance so your car mirrors don’t get smashed by overgrown branches. Farming is a dangerous business and a thankless job that requires dedication year round whatever the weather conditions. Don’t complain if you eat food because a farmer on this planet somewhere has prepared the ground protected the crop and then harvested it and sold it to a reseller who sells to your supermarket who sells to you. Without farmers we wouldn’t be here there would be nothing to eat. If you don’t like bits on the road invent something new that prevents it happening otherwise best to shut up.
