For an even cut, the ventilating blades with their self-sharpening chamfered edges lift the plants that have been flattened to the ground.
The 1245 and 1545 models have 2 retractable blades. On the BAV 1875 model, 4 blades are fitted to ensure quality work.
The floating hitch allows the rotary topper to accommodate longitudinal variations in the ground level to maintain a constant mowing height. The trapezoidal housing with flared sides ensures good ventilation for optimal shredding distribution.
The geometry of the machine also makes it easier to manoeuvre around obstacles.
The trapezoidal shape of the housing makes it easier to manoeuvre around obstacles.
The housing on the 1245 and 1545 models features a one-piece design, consisting of a single 3 mm thick bent plate. 8 mm thick side rails are then added to stiffen the structure. The assembly is bolted on two 8 mm thick plate shoes.
The BAV 1875 also has a one-piece housing. Unlike the above models, it is fitted with a cross beam. The assembly is also bolted on two 10 mm thick plate shoes.
With the heavy-duty oil bath gearbox, even the most woody debris can be shredded.
The shape and strength of the rotor protect the housing shaft from impact and abrasion. The shaft and pinions are made of case-hardened steel, which guarantees hardness.
The cutting height can be adjusted by 2 side skids from 25 to 150 mm for models 1245 and 1545, and from 20 to 145 mm for model 1875: the rotary topper can therefore adapt to all product densities.
To access difficult areas and prevent the tractor from passing over shredded residues, the BAV 1875 features a 300 mm right/left offset as standard, and a 210 mm right-hand offset for models 1245 and 1545.
An optional deflector is available for optimal distribution of the shredded plants and therefore an improved “mulch” effect.
