Recommended for
confined areas and on steep hills
The Twiga FLEX range of reach mowers have as
standard a slew ram to position the machine from
transport to work or any position midway for
narrow lane cutting. This ram also acts as the
break back ram for machine protection should an
obstacle be encountered while travelling forward.
As standard, the Flex is fitted with an automatic
Break Back that will protect against overloading.
There is an option of a more advanced system
that alters the Break Back force as the arm is
stretched out and the forces increase, this
system is activated via the Break Back switch on
the switch box.
The break back will operate if the machine is
overloaded i.e. a dense patch of vegetation, too
high a forward speed, and when working uphill.
The tractor must be halted, and the flail head
manoeuvred around the obstacle before the
break back is reset via the slew control.
The Twiga Flex range is unique in that Break
Back functions in either direction of travel. Care
must still be taken to avoid obstacles.
