A Guide to Choosing Your Ideal Slasher
Jan 09, 2023 Posted by Brittany Cunningham
A slasher is an essential tool for any farmer, landowner or contractor. With so many slashers available in the market, it can be difficult to know which one to choose. In this blog, we will explore the Delmade slasher range and provide you with some tips on how to choose the right slasher for your requirements.
- Consider the size of your tractor: The first thing to consider when choosing a slasher is the size of your tractor. The Delmade slasher range has slashers which can be used with tractors of various sizes, from 25HP to 250HP. It is essential to choose a slasher that is compatible with your tractor to ensure it operates efficiently and effectively.
- Choose the right cutting width: The cutting width of the slasher is another important factor to consider. The Delmade slasher range offers cutting widths from 3'4" to 15'. The wider the cutting width, the more ground the slasher can cover in a single pass. However, wider slashers require more horsepower to operate, so it is essential to choose a cutting width which is suitable for your tractor horsepower. You will also want to consider factors like the width of the tractor and if you want the slasher to cover one or two wheel tracks.
- Check the slasher blade material: It is important to choose a slasher with high-quality blades. The Delmade slasher range use high-quality boron steel blades that are durable and long-lasting. Boron steel is known for its ability to withstand high impact and resist wear and tear, making it an ideal material for slasher blades.
- Consider the terrain: The terrain on which you will be using the slasher is an important consideration. The Delmade range has slashers suitable for use on flat and hilly terrain. If you have hilly terrain, it is essential to choose a slasher with a sturdy frame and a trailing wheel to ensure that it follows the contours of the land smoothly.
- Look at the safety features: Safety should always be a top priority when using machinery. The Delmade slasher range include safety features such as front & rear safety chains which prevent material flinging out from under the slasher, and a PTO cover to prevent accidental contact with the power take-off shaft.
Choosing the right slasher for your requirements is essential for efficient and effective growth control. When selecting a slasher, consider the size of your tractor, the cutting width, the slasher blade material, terrain, safety features, and intended use. With the Delmade slasher range, you can be assured of high-quality machinery that is designed to meet your needs and withstand the toughest conditions.
