One of the most interesting launches on the hedge-cutting front this year was from Mzuri, the direct strip-till drill firm whose boss founded and used to own Spearhead.
The company chose the Cereals event in the UK to launch the Razorback, a new hedge trimmer design incorporating two distinct features.
A hydraulic levelling system automatically levels the trimmer independently of the tractor, while the head drops the conventional horizontal rotor and flails in favour of three vertical rotors, each with a pair of three blade setups and mounted one above the other to pulverise the trimmings.

As of yet, these machines have not been seen working in Ireland but the move away from the tried and tested rotor and flails will be very interesting to see at work.
