Spearhead Machinery has launched two new models – the Multicut 480 and Multicut 650 – that are the first to incorporate a flat top skin.
While all Multicut Flex Wing models ensure high performance with a flat underside, customers have been calling for a flat top, and these latest rotary mowers deliver exactly this. Flat top benefits are twofold: with an entirely level deck, debris continually blows off the mower, leaving little to sweep off; and, free of build-up, unwanted seeds don’t transfer to other crops.
Both the 480 and 650 are available in Ecoline and a Proline versions. Ecoline suits less intense usage, such as grass topping. Finished in Spearhead green, these Multicuts have standard wheels, fixed axles, and three blades per rotor.
Designed for tougher environments or more intense use, the dark grey Proline Multicuts offer a higher specification. This includes wide wheels, walking axles and Hydragas suspension – all ensuring more stable performance on rough ground. Proline machines also include Spearhead’s award-winning six-blade Starcut Knife system. This achieves faster cutting and a smaller mulch that breaks down quickly.
Popular for stubble management, Proline Multicuts also suit those mulching cover crops for sustainable green manuring schemes.
The new Multicut 480 and 650 rotary mowers house Spearhead’s sturdy EZ165 (165hp) gearbox. Delivering 30 per cent more power than competitive gearboxes, these key components now run cooler and are boosted by oversized shafts and gears.
Meanwhile, lower seal protection minimises the risk of ingress from debris, while an industry-leading seven-year warranty comes as standard.
Spearhead’s Antony Prince said the launch of the new Multicut models – complete with their flat top skins and the best possible gearbox warranty – demonstrated the company’s commitment to leading the market for quality, performance-built flex wing rotary mowers.
“Central for us is collaborating with our customers,” he added. “They constantly highlight specific developments that could make their lives easier and get the job done faster. Focusing on the most effective improvements creates a winning situation for Spearhead and all those who choose our machinery.”
