Ennals & Castell

[Gez Dairy]

Does anybody have a manual on a Ennals & Castell 3 blade grass topper? It must be from the 50’s

I think that is a fergie topper. May have an Ennals Sticker on it. I Have topped many acres with one. Think it uses knife sections for the cutting

Thanks for your info, yes it cuts very well. ?

They were good for working on ridge and furrow with the four wheels, is there anything you need to know. They are obviously pretty simple, just have to be careful not to block and burn out the belts

Hi,
It was basically I'd had it for over ten years and not serviced it, so I was going to part strip it and get some new belts as they are splitting.
I was trying to get a bit more info on the topper to make it easier to locate parts etc (If you can still get them!)

Many thanks.

They were machinery dealers in Northampton, later years sold David Brown and Nuffield and I think New Holland. I think earlier they sold Ferguson. They were certainly a very old established firm and popular as it was very close to the Cattle market. Not sure if St Peters way was its original home though. Later it was taken under the FH Burgess wing which saw its demise.

I know of one that's sat unloved. Does it have any value?

That’s a Hayter mower/topper, use to have them to mow the gallops and racecourses. Ask if you want to know anything.
