A left-hand offset model of Maschio’s medium-dutyGiraffa flail mower has been added to Opico’s range. The new machine is ideal for use alongside roads as it enables the driver to travel with the direction of the traffic.
“The Giraffa has already proved popular as a right-hand offset machine,” Opico’s David Day said. “It is available in three working widths: 1.60m, 1.85m and 2.10m.
“With the launch of a left-hand offset model, there’s now a far more user-friendly choice for mowing verges and ditches beside roads. By travelling with the flow of traffic, disruption is reduced and safety improved.”
Giraffa flail mowers are suitable for 40-80hp tractors and incorporate a number of features that have made them very popular. These include: a Quadruple V-belt drive for positive drive in tough conditions; an internally or externally mounted roller combined with Maschio’s floating head system that allows the Giraffa to follow the ground’s contours and cut evenly; and counter blades for a fine chop.
For each of the three model sizes of Giraffa, there are two versions: one with an internally mounted gearbox and one in which it is externally mounted to give an extra 44cm of reach. This effectively provides buyers with double the choice and ensures that the mowers can be more closely matched to the needs of the intended application.
“All Maschio flail mowers have digitally balanced rotors that reduce vibration and wear to help ensure reliability,” Mr Day added. “In fact, the entire range benefits from Maschio’s experience, buying power and expertise in drive lines.”
The top-of-the-range Giraffa 210SI costs £6,999 + VAT.
