Big New Mower Designed For Ditches FARM HOME Lawn Mowers (31h,38) 32-3-42 The new Highline RCH Mower allows you to drive your tractor safely on the roadway while mowing steep ditches. Its compact design provides enhanced maneuverability around obstacles, according to Highline Manufacturing in Vonda, Sask.
The ruggedly built rotary cutter has a patented floating variable offset hitch (left, right, or center) instead of the separate tow hitch design found on traditional mowers.
"It allows the mower to be moved from the left of the tractor to the right with a hydraulic lever," says Highline's Industrial sales manager Rob Laskowski. "We have a full 120 degree swing behind the tractor, enabling you to easily reach more places with it."
The unit has unique, patented twin axle walking caster wheels on the center section, designed to follow steep ditch angles. Automatic wing locks allow the operator to lower, raise and lock the outer wings of the mower from the safety of the tractor cab.
Symmetrical cutting decks allow for a more even cut by maintaining a common tip speed for all blades. This design eliminates uneven stress on the gearboxes, according to Laskowski.
"The flat design of the double-plated decks are also easy to clean, which helps prevent weed contamination," he adds. "Also, double safety chains on the decks greatly improve containment of rocks and debris."
The Highline RCH Mower comes configured for either a single point or a 2-point hook-up, and it offers standard laminated tires or optional aircraft tires.
"Enhanced options like Independent Wing Lift, Temperature Sensors on all gearboxes, and Gradient Over-ride, greatly improve the operator's efficiency," Laskowski adds.
