Just an unhappy motorcycle rider who got a puncture from hedge debris.
Thought I'd be one step ahead of the increasing numbed of cyclists and motorcyclists on the road.
I have also had punctures from thorns.
Incidentally it wasn't on our stretch where the motorbike got a puncture.

I just go over the road with the brusher head behind the tractor and keep it just above the ground, reverse rotor and all the bits get blown into the ditch when I've finished hedge. usually, there is not much on the road if the rubber flaps front and back are in good order. that's all I do.

Are they any good ?
After an incident recently I am looking to adding one ..

Yes. I fitted one to a PA93 years ago for clearing roads as we cut. I kept it & fitted it to the Shelbourne Reynolds that replaced it. I gets the worst off the roads & the high speed passing traffic does the rest.

Are there integrated debris blowers vs bolt on Jobs that go on behind the tank(back of hedgecutter) that to my mind were in line to be damaged very easily if reversing up to something. Do the integrated ones operate from the hedgecutter controls or off tractor spool/electrics?

Some offer integrated ones. Mine bolted on the back and had it's own spool with a free flow return. The hedgecutter has it's own hydraulics driven by the PTO.
