Mulching large areas

Posted by Tom Bailey on April 16, 2016 at 8:53pm in Groundscare

Hello everyone.

I've got a new contract cutting 4 large roundabouts once a month so looking at getting a new machine to mulch the grass. I'm looking at walk behind or ride on. Can anyone help with makes and models?

    How large is large?
    A scag or the like would be good for that as you are not looking for a perfect finish I presume?

    They range from 3000sqm to 6000sqm each

      Maybe a front deck flail mower. As its going to be tough going being once a month.
      They are huge roundabouts at 1 and a half acres for the biggest one.

    Some articulated with a front deck like a Stiga or Husky. Manouverable and mulches (or rear discharge)

      Or you can put a flail on

    Hi

    We've just purchased a scag v ride which comes highly recommended from fellow ground maintenance colleagues. We've opted for the 48 inch deck with rear discharge and high lift blades.
