8.14 Hedge Cutting Procedure
Upward Cutting
The flail head is assembled at the factory for the
flails to cut with an upward motion. Upward
cutting produces a cleaner finish minimizes split
stems and is ideal for a light hedge that has
been regularly maintained. The front hood and
rear flap must always be in position when
hedging with an upward cutting action. The front
hood is pivot mounted and can be adjusted to
four working positions. To minimize the throwing
of debris especially when roadside cutting the
hood should be adjusted to its lowest position.
Raising the hood will allow longer material to be
cut but there will be a greater tendency for
debris to be thrown.
