The Winton
WAM100 is a tractor-mounted flail hedge cutter designed for smallholdings,
estates, and general grounds maintenance. It's a versatile and robust
attachment for cutting hedges, ditches, embankments, and roadsides.
Here are the
key features of the Winton WAM100:
Cutting
and Performance:
- Working Width: It has a working width of 100
cm (1 meter).
- Blade Type: The cutting head is fitted with
Y-style flail blades, which are effective for cutting and mulching various
types of vegetation.
- Flail Direction: The flail rotor direction is
reversible, which provides greater control over the cutting action and can
be adjusted for different tasks.
- Cutting Reach: The fully adjustable cutting
arm allows for an impressive reach, with a maximum cutting height of up to
2.3 meters. It can also be angled for cutting ditches and embankments.
- Cutting Capacity: It can handle softwood up to 6
cm and hardwood up to 3 cm in diameter.
Tractor
Compatibility and Power:
- Tractor HP Requirement: It is compatible with tractors
ranging from 35 to 60 horsepower.
- Linkage: It attaches to the tractor's
three-point linkage (Category 1).
- Power Source: The hedge cutter is PTO (Power
Take-Off) driven. The PTO speed is 540 rpm.
- Independent Hydraulics: A significant feature is its
PTO-driven hydraulic pump, which makes the unit's hydraulic system
completely independent of the tractor's. This ensures consistent
performance and makes it compatible with a wide range of tractors without
relying on the tractor's own hydraulic flow.
Operation
and Durability:
- Controls: It is operated by a set of
simple, easy-to-use control levers that can be conveniently mounted on the
tractor.
- Adjustable Roller: It includes an adjustable rear
roller, which helps to control the cutting height and finish.
- Construction: The unit is built with a
durable and robust frame, weighing around 300 kg, which adds to its
stability during operation.
