Powered by two hydraulic motors, the flailhead’s unique double cutting action saves operators time, cuts fuel costs, and increases the amount of work that can be done in a day.
The first rotor is equipped with a heavy-duty T-flail that cuts in a downward direction, reducing the amount of debris thrown forward. The material is finely mulched and the bulk is retained within the hedgerow.
This is followed by the second rotor that’s set 50mm lower and cuts in an upward direction. Equipped with a fine-cut McConnel Competition-flail, this means the combination is perfect for shaping the hedge and leaving behind a precise and attractive finish.

The TwinCut features two flailheads, the second featuring finer flais and set 50mm lower than the first. |
The unique design of the TwinCut also removes the need for a hood cover, ensuring a smoother flow of materials into the flailhead and allowing operators to cut closer to obstacles and posts for greater productivity and precision.
McConnel general manager Christian Davies said the new machine delivered a great cut and finish in a single-pass and would dramatically boost performance, productivity and efficiency.
“It’s the only mainstream dual-rotor flailhead in the world and delivers a suite of benefits that takes hedge-cutting to a new level,” he said.
The TwinCut flailhead is now available in 1.2m and 1.5m working widths and can be fitted to non-telescopic arms from the company’s 70, 85, Mid-Mount, and Classic series or hedge cutters. All McConnel flailheads are precision engineered in the UK at the company’s factory at Ludlow, Shropshire.
