You could say that when it comes to hedge-cutting, Michael Tomlinson is a bit of a perfectionist.
He’s been doing it since 1982 and serves a wide range of agricultural and rural clients in Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Warwickshire.
In the past, Michael had been using flail hedge cutting units to deal with typical hawthorn hedging on farms and evergreens in the rural suburbs.Using a flail mower on these hedge types often incurs issues with quality of finish and result in a lot of often large leftover clippings.
Last year, Michael took delivery of a 1.43m hedge cutter unit manufactured by Major Equipment, a company well known for manufacturing high-end mowers capable of handling the roughest and toughest of work environments.
Major’s 1.43m Hedge-cutter head, fits directly to most hedge cutter arms on the market without modifications and comes fully galvanised for long life protection against corrosion.
“Once we started using the Major Hedge-cutting head,” enthused Michael, “ we calculated that compared with our flail heads, we were saving around £100 per week on fuel costs alone, purely because it was so much easier to drive. It also mulched the evergreen clippings about the same as a flail head!
