Tow along petrol grass cutter

[claudie345]

Has anyone had any experience of a tow along petrol grass cutter, behind a 4x4 or quad, even better anyone got or know of a second hand one for sale?

 

Cheers

Used to have one of these on the farm. Towed it behind a farm quad. Seemed to work well. Why are you thinking of getting one?

I have horses and cannot afford a tractor with topper just trying to find a cheap solution to topping the field myself without paying the local farmer

We had a Port Agric Cutlet with a Kohler Command engine until it threw a rod. It worked well for rough cutting behind a 300cc quad but was very slow compared to a tractor and PTO-driven tow behind.

I have a tow behind Wessex paddock topper, been very useful and reliable so far. I bought it sold as seen a couple of years ago, for scrap value, it's about 12 years old now. Still in good order.

By the time you've bought one, put lots of expensive petrol through it (they drink it), diesel in your motor, and your time, you'll wish you'd paid the farmer a few quid to do it in five minutes flat.

what size tractor you got you can get very good paddock mower which run off the pto just google paddock mowers. and do them for compacts. the tow behinds work well can get normal mowers or finishing ones. but you pick up a good small pto one at a farm sale starting to come up now as the weather gets warmer.

I bought the mower due to the previous method being a local tractor coming in with his tractor and big topper.

 

Our ground conditions in the last few years has been terrible due to all the rain, there were ruts, broken drains and basically too heavy a machine for the job.

The farmer would do it when he had nothing else to do and would have to wait for a window in the weather.

With the tow behind mower on an RTV we could cut the grass in the pouring rain, flails don't clog the same and as they were so small and sharp they gave a cracking finish.

Bigger isn't always better:biggrin:

Got a QuadX topper/mower, tow behind my quad, had it for about 5 years, its worked really hard cutting through acres of very thick rushes, done a very good job.

 

Couple of welds gone and blades bent, cant fault the machine for the amount of hard work its done.
