The Tough Cut deck attachment for the Ventrac 4520 all-terrain compact tractor has been specifically designed for mowing high grass, thick weeds and heavy brush. Able to work on slopes of up to 30 degrees, it can save huge amounts of man-hours when compared to strimming.
A large front opening directs material into the deck where three heavy-duty blades counter rotate to cut and deposit waste evenly without windrowing. The blades are sharp on both sides so they can be used on right or left-hand spindles, allowing for extended blade life.
Capable of tackling saplings up to 2.54 mm (1 inch) in diameter, the Tough Cut makes short work out of overgrown thickets. It has three cutting heights: 76 mm, 92 mm and 108 mm. Easy servicing of belts and pulleys is provided by the hinged and removable cover, while the flip-up deck provides easy access for cleaning and changing blades.
Chris Houfe, Chairman of Greens at Stamford Golf Club says,
“Obviously we want members and visitors to enjoy their experience with us and we are currently improving the playability of the course, by removing larger areas of growth that have encroached onto the fairways over time,” he said. “That’s why we purchased the Tough Cut deck; it does a fantastic job of knocking down brambles, young saplings, gorse and long grass, saving hours of brush-cutting for our small team. Once this has been removed, we can create more rough and semi-rough areas, making it easier to find wayward balls and speed up play, in general.
