Robust build quality

ROBOCUT has been developed in partnership with Hatz and can be fitted with flail heads up to 1.9m for substantially higher output. With a lower centre of gravity and perfect 50/50 weight distribution, ROBOCUT has maximum stability and performance in all terrain.

Responsive remote control unit

With a 150m working range, the remote control features a high visibility digital display showing RPM, engine temperature, and signal strength. The battery dock stores and charges one of the two remote control battery packs for quick change over and reduced downtime.

Increased productivity

Boasting a high-performance engine, outstanding manoeuvrability, and the widest flail head in its class, ROBOCUT tackles tasks that are normally completed by hand - dramatically speeding up the job and allowing you to use your time more efficiently.
