Blaney Agri has had a busy year with new additions to its hedge cutter range, from new machines to added features.

The new “Soft Touch” proportional control options have been developed in response to customer demand. These electronic proportional controls are more responsive to further improve finish and user comfort.

Over 10 years ago, Blaney Agri developed its acclaimed Power ShredderTM technology which is incorporated in the business end of the Blaney hedge cutters as well as the Blaney Power ShredderTM mowers and excavator heads.

The Blaney R&D team has taken some unique approaches to ensure there is more power to the head for increased rotor speed, a better cut and finish with improved efficiency, saving time and fuel.

The new Blaney Compact hedge cutter is equipped with a fingerbar trimmer, featuring a low-friction, self-lubricating design which is easy to drive and reduces wear and associated maintenance costs. This also gives enhanced performance even on older tractors with less oil flow. It is ideal for smaller or compact tractors for lighter hedge-cutting tasks where a flail head is not required.

Blaney as an independent manufacturer has no links to any other range and so has no restrictions in its design, giving it the ability to give experienced users exactly what they want.

Blaney offers a range of impressive machines from the Compact trimmer to a telescopic Contractor machine with 6.5m reach, and a range of machines within the Agri and Agri Pro Series in between.

For those who have special requirements and want a different combination of features, the Blaney hedge cutter is ideal since their efficient design and production techniques allow them to tailor machines for a custom build.

Blaney Agri recognises oil condition to be key to the lifespan of its machine. The clever design promotes natural cooling in the system, with the use of special fittings to reduce pressure points and flow restrictions.

Lifetime maintenance costs are reduced as a result of painstaking development within the drive system for optimum oil conditioning and low-friction circuits reducing heat generation during use.

This also reduces tractor power input requirements with greater rotor output due to lower energy losses within the system.
