Topping mower

[johnflimston]

Looking to buy a cheap 2nd hand mower for topping/resetting pasture. Used to use a vicon which was perfect as alternate discs contra-rotate leaving toppings even on field.
Mower we use now for silage/hay(Fella)leaves grass in a swath which is better if cutting a heavy crop as you can see where your going but it's not so good for topping.
Any suggestions for a replacement.

Flail topper just the job

Take the swath boards off the back of your existing mower to leave a full width swath behind

No it doesn't because of the way the discs spin,the inside 2 spin clockwise and the outside 3 anticlockwise so it throws it into a swath even without switchboard, hence the question.

What is it? Some can be changed

I'm not convinced topping with a disc mower does them any good.
They like to be under load and if not enough grass going through they can overheat

We have used spearhead batwings for sale. Currently have one multicut 460 and two Multicut 620. Also can do a hell of a deal on a RHD250 @£4999 brand new.
