Designed to suit compact tractors from 12hp upwards the CR Series rotary mowers are available in 1.2m, 1.5m, 1.8m and 2.4m working widths, all available as 4 wheeled machines and the 3 smaller models as a 2 wheeled version.
The four wheeled models are finishing mowers and produce first class results on regularly mown areas. Running on their own 4 wheels, and with fully floating linkage points, these machines will follow ground contours and leave a premium result on fine turf. |
|
 |
The three rotors are staggered to give 100% blade coverage, eliminating uncut strips of grass. Baffles beneath the deck ensure an even distribution of clippings. |
 |
Swinging blade tips ensure maximum resistance to stone damage with minimum power consumption, whilst the anti-scalp disc eliminates unsightly scalping. |
|
Drive belts are tensioned simultaneously by one sliding action of the gearbox. |

Your ATV and Wessex AR flail mowers - the perfect match!
The WESSEX AR Series Rotary Mowers are the first choice for paddock topping
and maintaining regularly mown grass areas, as the work rates are higher, and
the maintenance cost lower than that of a flail machine.
Available in 1.2m, 1.5m and 1.8m working widths, and with a variety of engine
sizes, the AR Series rotaries are robust and durable machines ideally suited
to private estates, farms, and studs.
When operating behind a 4x4 or a car, the AR180, 1.8m model is recommended
as firstly, the machine can be seen in the rear view mirrors, and secondly, a
more powerful engine is favoured due to the possibility of overloading.
Standard machines are fitted with side mounted wheels, which allow ground
contours to be followed accurately without scalping. However, if a machine is
required to mow close to borders and fences etc, the optional rear wheel
configuration is available on the 1.2m and 1.5m models only. With wheels
behind the machine, the weight on the ball hitch is greatly increased, therefore
when using a rear wheeled machine, the towing vehicle must have adequate
weight capacity on the draw bar.
If the towing vehicle has inadequate drawbar capacity, the third wheel option is available. The entire weight of the machine is now on its own wheels and the drawbar is floating |
|
|


|
Control difficult areas with your ATV and Wessex AF flail mowers!
For heavier applications, ie brambles, bracken, reeds, heather and long grass etc, a flail mower is recommended as a flail will not only cut the material, but it will also thoroughly pulverize it before discharging it evenly across the full width of the machine.
The WESSEX AF Series, in 1.2m and 1.6m working widths are undoubtedly one of the most robust and durable range of self-powered flail mowers on the UK market. Featuring a 5mm steel plate deck, a rear roller, 3 drive belts, a manual engagement clutch and the option of a 13hp Honda, or a 16hp or 18hp Briggs & Stratton v-twin engine, the AF Series are specially designed to suit the most demanding applications.
There is also a variety of wheel configurations. All models are fitted with side wheels as standard. If required to mow close to fences etc, rear wheels can be fitted so the wheels are within the width of the machine. This greatly increases the weight on the drawbar, and the towing vehicle must have adequate drawbar capacity. This option is only available on the 1.2m model.
The WESSEX AFC range of flail mowers have the engine centrally located on the deck, for maximum stability when working on steep slopes.

Ideal for the maintenance of golf courses, sports grounds, schools and public open spaces, the Wessex SC12 sweeper collector is a simple yet effective machine and is economical to purchase and to maintain. Four banks of hard-wearing polypropylene bristles will collect the following from turf or hard surfaces:
- autumn leaves
- grass clippings
- cores
- litter
- other unsightly debris
|
|
| When emptying, the spring loaded catch is released by pulling the cord from the driving seat and the hopper will pivot through approximately 135o whilst the tractor moves forward and discharges the spoil in a neat heap on the gound. When the cord is released the hopper will return and lock into position automatically. |
 |
|
Options
 |
An optional hand operated winch mechanism can be fitted in lieu of the rope and tipping handle to assist in tipping the hopper. |
 |
The optional hydraulically driven gulley brush will sweep debris from the gutters into the path of the main sweeping brush. |

STC Series Collectors |
|
|
The STC Series collectors are available in 1.2m and 1.8m working widths, and can be utilised as a sweeper collector, a flail collector or a scarifier collector.
When in use as a sweeper the STC features the same brush rotor and brushes as the SC Series above and will perform the same efficient job of clearing all manner of items from turf or hard surfaces.
Semi mounted to the tractor's 3 point linkage the STC can be lifted out of work hydraulically and will run on it's own 4 wheels independantly of the tractor to allow ground contours to be accurately followed. |
|
|
|
The optional vacuum hose attachment is invaluable for collecting leaves and litter from borders and flowerbeds, or even emptying litter bins in parks and public areas. The heavy duty fan is powered by a Honda petrol engine and the flexible hose stows neatly along the side of the machine when not in use. |
|
|
|
|
Based on the popular SC12 sweeper collector, the Wessex SX120 paddock cleaner is the ideal machine for provate horse owners, farms, studs and riding schools. Four banks of extra heavy-duty polypropylene bristles will not only collect horse droppings, but the paddock will also benefit from the regular "grooming" action of the brushes which will stimulate fresh, healthy new growth of grass.
Working width (m) : 1.2
Overall width (m) : 1.75
Approx. hopper capacity (m3) : 1.25 |
|
| When full, a hand operated winch mechanism rolls the hopper over approximately 135o to discharge the spoil in a neat heap on the ground. |
A row of sprung steel tines situated in front of the brush rotor rakes through the grass loosening stubborn muck to aid collection. Brush height is set by repositioning of the two fully castoring front wheels. |
|
|
|
STX Series Paddock Cleaners |
|
|
Similar in design to the STC Series, the new STX paddock cleaners in 1.2m and 1.8m working widths are the ideal machine for both domestic and commercial horse owners.
A row of sprung steel tines situated in front of the brush rotor rakes through the grass loosening stubborn muck to aid collection. The hard-wearing, replaceable polypropylene bristles collect horse droppings and other debris from the paddock and the grass will beneifit from the regular grooming action of the brushes, providing a healthy environment for the horses. |
|
| |
|
|
<<< The STX is hydraulically tipped at a dumping height of 1.5m.

Optional vacuum hose is powered by a honda petrol engine and is invaluable for cleaning out stables & horse boxes.

Wessex Dung Beetle Paddock Cleaner |
|
The horse’s best friend!
Healthy paddocks make for healthy, contented horses. So it’s important to maintain conditions where piles of dung, debris and fallen leaves are removed, and fresh grass growth is encouraged. With the Dung Beetle this chore has turned into a pleasure – the strong and simple mechanics of this machine means horse droppings, twigs and other debris is swept up and into the hopper whilst the grass benefits from the grooming action of the bristles – an advantage not gained from vacuum machines.
Running on it’s own four wheels, the Dung Beetle places no downward weight on the ATV drawbar ensuring maximum stability, while an adjustable row of spring tines rakes the ground in front of the brushes loosening stubborn muck prior to sweeping. Don’t just take our word for it though – ask your horse!
• use with any vehicle with a 50mm ball hitch
• the essential paddock maintenance tool
• self-powered by Honda 5.5hp engine
• simple brush height adjustment via castoring front wheels
• 0.7m3 hopper capacity
• 1.2m working width
Earlier models were know as the ATX120 – a very successful machine that has evolved into the Dung Beetle product.
Machines ready for work from as little as £3,495.00 + vat . We recommend delivery and installation by one of our engineers to ensure a flying start and a serviceable life from your investment – ask for details.
