Overhead-valve technology keeps fuel consumption and emissions down, while the easy-pull recoil start gets you working in seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003escissor-action cutter bar\u003c\/strong\u003e slices cleanly rather than mulching, so cuttings lie flat for easy collection or rotting down — the same principle traditional hay-cutting machinery has used for decades, scaled into a one-person walk-behind format. The cutting height adjusts from \u003cstrong\u003e30mm to 80mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, letting you tailor the finish from neat orchard floor to rough conservation clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e330mm tractor-tread pneumatic tyres\u003c\/strong\u003e give the HCS870 the grip and ground clearance to work confidently on slopes, hummocky pasture and uneven terrain that would stop a conventional rotary mower.
