Ideal for controlling areas of dense vegetation or heavy scrubland, the Wessex Scrubmaster with chain cutters or blades has an enviable reputation for serious scrub-clearing ability. At work in woodlands and areas of forest across the UK and Europe, the Scrubmaster will power it's way unstoppably through dense brush and scrub.
The Scrubmaster can be ordered with either blade or chain cutters
Blade assembly - comprises of 4 heavy duty reversible blades mounted on a large hardened steel square plate, delivering over 2000 1 ton impact cuts per minute. The blade cutters give a cleaner cutting action than chains when cutting wood material, and can be used for controlling grass & weed growth.
Chain cutters - are recommended for use in areas where there is a likelihood of tree stumps and boulders which could cause damage to blades. Three high tensile chains are mounted on a circular boss, and will lacerate cut material more than blades, accelerating the breakdown of woody and fibrous scrub growth.
Adjustable side skids - with replaceable wear shoes are re-positioned to alter the cutting height. The skids are positioned so that the working width is only marginally less than the overall width allowing the machine to cut close to trees in plantations and stumps.
Fully floating headstock - allows the machine to be dragged across the rough ground with minimal stress to the frame of the machine, whilst a heavy galvanised chain takes the weight of the machine when lifted out of work.
Optional rear castoring wheel assembly - is available for use in applications where the machine needs to manoeuvre around trees without lifting out of work.
