Tractor Flail Mowers for the John Deere 520

Built for paddocks, headlands and verges where a topper leaves rows of cut material behind. Hitch it to your John Deere 520 and the flails chop and mulch brambles, brush and overgrowth as you go.

Tractor Topper Mowers for the John Deere 520

Hitch a topper to your John Deere 520 for fast rough-cuts across pasture and paddocks, or a finishing mower for a tidy lawn-style finish on estate grass. Quicker and lighter work than a flail when the grass isn't rank.

Tractor Hedge Cutters for the John Deere 520

Hitch one to your John Deere 520 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.
