Tractor Hedge Cutters for the Ford 8240

Hitch one to your Ford 8240 to trim hedges and roadside verges from the tractor seat. The boom reaches into hedge tops and over field-edge banks where a fixed flail or topper can't, with its own PTO-driven hydraulics so it doesn't fight your tractor's spools.
