unkelfergus Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Could do with that down here for the weekend Joe to do my lawns... I reckon hydraulic motor and belts, but I expect I'm wrong.... \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorbob Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 looks like a tarrup/nc double chop up front.. its a puzzler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James T Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 It's a Loglogic Softrak machine with possibly with a front PTO - see http://www.softrak-atv.com/ I think I recall seeing a shaft when I saw this working from a distance a couple of years ago, but then again, that does look like hydraulics... I used to work at the RSPB Nature Reserve in Lochwinnoch on the other side of Scotland and they got a company called Cloverleaf Groundcare in for a few years in the late 90s/early 00s to cut reeds and sedge using a Softrak and fingerbar mower, see photos below.

They have front and rear linkage, pto and hydraulics! brilliant things! They have the post knocker on the back and the post carrier on the front.

James T Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Caught up with (probably) the same machine working between Greengairs and Cumbernauld on another RSPB site last Sunday. Unfortunately, I couldn't spend long at the site, and didn't fancy the very muddy walk to get better shots. Here's a couple of long-range grab shots: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
