Heavy duty cast hammer flail

The Contractor range feature a cast hammer type flail. The hardened cutting edge and weight of approximately 1kg allow the machines to cut through material up to 75mm in diameter. The ‘shovel’ design effectively throws the cut material into the hopper without requiring extra ‘draft or wind paddles’. The throwing action gives more efficient collection even in the wet. The straight cutting edge leaves a high quality finish and flails can be sharpened in situ several times through their normal working life. Flail maintenance is made easy by the automatic locking of the hopper in the raised position to allow full access to the blades and rotor from above.

A number of Contractors are now being used for specialist applications in conservation. Ryetec have also adapted some machines to suit specific applications, the annual cut and collect of wild flower areas is a normal application.
Cutting and collecting heather for regeneration purposes and the clearance of problem species such as bracken and gorse are also becoming common.

The robust construction of the machine and features such as the large diameter rear roller (200mm) allow the machine to be used in very arduous conditions. The fully mounted machines are easily manoeuvred in awkward areas and on badly undulating ground conditions.
