Maximising Value Through Smart Engineering
When investing in a rotary mower, it’s essential to consider not only the initial purchase price but also the total cost of ownership (TCO). The Razorback Blade Rotary Mower stands out in the market by delivering long-term cost savings through innovative design, reduced maintenance requirements, and enhanced operational efficiency.
Designed and built in the UK by the very engineer who pioneered rotary mower design in the country over 30 years ago, the Razorback Blade is the culmination of decades of expertise and heritage. This deep understanding of rotary mower technology has resulted in a machine that sets new standards in performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Below, we explore how the Razorback Blade range helps owners save money while maintaining top cutting performance.
Protecting the PTO shaft
One of the most significant ongoing costs of operating a rotary mower is the unnecessary and avoidable damage to the input PTO shaft. Time and again, we observe rotary mowers with damaged input shafts resulting from catching the tractor’s link arms during operation. This not only poses a considerable safety risk to the operator and creates a legal obligation to maintain it in good working order, but the damaged shaft can also strain both the tractor and mower gearbox, leading to further expensive damage.
To address this issue directly, the Razorback Blade features a semi-mounted headstock that keeps the PTO shaft centred between the link arms. This not only enhances safety but also reduces the risk of damage, prevents unexpected repair costs, and improves the mower’s long-term value. All of this contributes to a significantly lower total cost of ownership throughout the mower’s lifespan, making the Razorback Blade a wise choice for the professional operator.
Lower Blade Replacement Costs
Blades are a critical component of any rotary mower, and frequent replacements can accumulate costs over time. The Razorback Blade’s free-swinging, compact twin-blade system is designed to maximise cutting efficiency while reducing strain on the driveline. The smaller blade design minimises torque strain on clutches, leading to less wear on gearboxes and driveline components, thereby extending their longevity and lowering replacement costs.
The compact design of the Blade system ensures that when replacements are necessary, costs remain significantly lower compared to larger blades, which often lead to excessive material waste. With Razorback’s efficient blade system, you only pay for what you need, minimising waste and maximising cost-effectiveness.
Reduced Power Requirements
With smaller, more efficient blades and a compact blade carrier, the Razorback Blade requires less inertia to power up and less engine power to achieve an exceptional cut, contributing to reduced long-term operational costs.
This reduction in horsepower requirement means operators can utilise a smaller tractor and operate with greater fuel efficiency.
Operators can feel confident that by using a Razorback Blade rotary mower, they are putting less strain on their tractor, and with the more efficient blade system, there is less wear and tear on the mower itself, enhancing the machine’s longevity and reducing overall running costs.
Quick, Simple Adjustments for Increased Productivity
Time spent adjusting and maintaining a mower directly impacts operational costs. The Blade’s one-touch axle adjustment system allows operators to quickly and accurately set the cutting height with a single adjustment. This reduces downtime and boosts efficiency in the field. Additionally, the on-the-go height adjustment feature, which involves lifting and lowering the tractor’s link arms, provides further flexibility, allowing operators to fine-tune the cutting height based on residue in real-time.
Durability and Longevity
Long-term ownership costs are significantly influenced by the machine’s durability. The Razorback Blade features impressive build quality, including a high-specification 250hp driveline for longevity and reliability you can trust, alongside an easy-to-clean deck, minimising downtime and maintenance requirements throughout the machine’s life.
Experience the Long-Term Savings of the Razorback Blade
The Razorback Blade Rotary Mower is more than just a machine—it’s a strategic investment in efficiency, safety, and long-term cost savings. With its reduced power requirements, minimised wear on critical components, and operator-friendly design, the Blade offers a lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional rotary mowers.
For professionals who demand durability, innovation, and top cutting performance without excessive running costs, the Razorback Blade is the ultimate solution. Whether you’re managing paddocks, amenities, or large-scale vegetation, this mower is engineered to keep your operations running smoothly while maximising your return on investment.
