Paddock grass gone to seed, nettle beds, a meadow cut once a year, an orchard floor that has had a full season to itself — a rotary deck clogs, bogs and throws material everywhere. The HCTS scythe bar attachment turns your Chipperfield two-wheel tractor into the machine that ground actually needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA scythe bar cuts on a completely different principle. Dual reciprocating blades work like shears, slicing stems cleanly at the base rather than beating them apart at speed. There is no deck to pack with wet grass and no discharge chute to block, so the bar keeps cutting in tall, damp and tangled material long after a rotary mower would have stopped for clearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCut it, then leave it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe material is laid down neatly in a swathe behind the machine rather than shredded and scattered. That is what you want on rough land: leave it to dry and bale it, rake it off, or let it break down where it falls. It also means no collector to empty every few minutes — on a paddock, that alone changes the length of the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWide cut, low pass\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bar cuts a wide swathe close to the base of the growth, so overgrown areas come back under control in a few passes instead of being nibbled at. Working off the tractor's own power and wheel traction, it drives through dense growth on ground where a hand-held brushcutter would have you there all weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits the Chipperfield \u003ca href=\"\/products\/chipperfield-hct270p-270cc-two-wheel-tractor-with-scythe-bar\"\u003eHCT270P\u003c\/a\u003e and HCT296D two-wheel tractors via the standard PTO attachment system.
