Müthing flail mowers supplied by Simon Richard Ltd have been an important part of the armoury for Ray Britland Contracting for many years, mainly front mounted on the business’s fleet of Reform Metrac specialist tractors.
The company undertakes a wide range of demanding maintenance work, often on steep terrain or remote locations, so performance and reliability are key.
Operations Manager John Wilkinson comments: “We’ve tried a number of other brands but found that they were either not robust enough or too heavy for the tractors.
“The Müthing flail is a really good all-round machine for our varied workload. The geometry is ideal and it’s nicely balanced with good float over uneven terrain.”
John comments that the 2mMU-H 200 can be offset using the linkage arms on the Reform tractor while 2.2m models bring even more output. A patented removable shark fin shredding bar mulches vegetation finely.
As the mowers are front mounted on the Reform Metrac, a clever dust protection extension diverts dust and debris under the tractor.
“We’ve also seen a number of improvements over the years, with extra clearance for the roller which avoids blocking and increases efficiency plus stronger headstocks,” he adds
