      Warning - It is the end user’s responsibility to ensure that the trimmer does not exceed the tractor OEM’s (original equipment manufacturer) specification for implement mounting and hitch capability and that the installation is technically appropriate based on the weight and size of the tractor and its implement attachment system.

      * Owing to the size and weight of the 8000 series it is recommended that customers mount the trimmers using an axle mounting system. 4 point linkage mounting must only be used on tractors with suitable linkage mounting points and even then, Shelbourne Reynolds recommends that axle mounting is used for improved strength where possible. 8000 Series trimmers can become detached if used inappropriately with the 4 point linkage mount.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      All 8000 trimmers are recommended to be fitted with Axle mounting system however it’s possible to mount using 4 point linkage system.

      Yes, the flails are arranged in a double spiral which gives a better cut finish and ejects significantly less debris to the side

      No, the lower link arms are connected to the trimmer and used to take the weight before the axle bracket sub frame is engaged

      The standard system produces 70HP using Shelbourne high pressure hydraulic system on all 7000 & 8000 Series, an 85HP hydraulic system is optional extra

      All 8000 series machines are specified with durable drop forged flails as standard, these are available in either “T” or Competition configuration
