OPERATION
NOTE: Flails are more prone to accidental damage and blunting by stones on a ground cut. Therefore, when
convenient, this should be left until the end.
Where the hedge has been well maintained in the past, it may be found better to cut the top before siding up.
Do not be tempted to make a vertical cut on the fast side of the hedge. This would entail
cutting “blind” and the rotating flail would be capable of throwing debris through the
hedgerow in line with the operator.
Where both sides of a roadside hedge are to cut, always cut the field side first. The uncut roadside helps to
reduce the amount of debris being flung through the hedge into the road. Also by sloping the vertical cut to give
an “A” shape, debris is thrown down into the hedge bottom and the spread of material is reduced.
