Tagasaste Mower
A high speed mower designed for economical maintenance of Tagasaste and similar fodder shrubs.
Tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis) was traditionally used in the Canary Islands as fodder for grazing animals in the dry season. It is sometimes called tree lucerne and research in Western Australia suggests that edible dry matter yields of 11 t/ha/yr are obtainable in good conditions. The mower cuts an inverted vee shape that allows easy access for stock, and fresh fodder is readily available to livestock. Included is a deck safety guard and wheel kit to allow the mower to be used as an offset slasher or hay mower
