The extraordinary wide R10 reel mower delivers perfect cuts at a high speed and a very low tractor power. The mower is especially designed to maintain big sod fields in the turf industry. It combines simple propulsion with excellent mowing reels. Because of the ingenious folding system, using only a few cylinders, it is very easy to switch between the 10 meters working width and the compact transport position.
The big advantage of the R10 mower is the capability to cut the grass instead of chopping the tops off like rotary mowing units do. This results in less evaporation of the plants moisture, which makes the grass less vulnerable for diseases and provides a smooth surface without turning the grass’ points brown. This will stimulate the growth of the grass which results in shorter growth periods between harvesting.
The 10.4 meters wide machine with a capacity of 100 hectares a day can simply be attached to a tractor. The 12 independently mounted 90cm wide mowing reels provide a clean cut and will follow the contours of the sod field flawless. The combination of the open reels and tube frame provide an even grass distribution.
