Hydraulic flail-hedger mowers are suitable for medium-power tractors for cleaning embankments, ditches, and roadsides.
Frontoni's Fox flail mower hedge cutter is built to tackle tough vegetation management jobs. Engineered with robust construction and high-performance flail blades, it attaches easily to tractors, offering exceptional versatility in trimming hedges and mowing dense brush. Designed for heavy-duty use, the Fox ensures clean, even cuts with minimal effort, making it an excellent choice for agricultural, domestic, and roadside maintenance applications.
Frontoni Tractor Hedge Cutters are described as "Bomb Proof" for their exceptional durability and high-quality parts.
The Frontoni Fox is typically fitted with heavy-duty Y-Shaped blades, which allow you to cut driving forwards OR backwards, as the rotor direction is fully reversible.
"Duck foot" hammer-style blades are available for an additional cost.
Duck foot flails are best for smashing through old, woody growth, whereas Y-Blades are best for slicing new growth, grass, and leaving a neater finish.
All Frontoni Foxs come with a "Mechanical Safety Impact-Prevention Device." This mechanism allows the hedge cutter to pivot backwards to help prevent damage to your hedge cutter and tractor, in case you accidentally hit the boom arm into a solid object.
The Frontoni Fox comes in a choice of 3 models, the 400, 450 and 500 and are compatible with tractors rated 50 to 80 horsepower. It is wise to order the largest and most capable Frontoni hedge cutter that your tractor can handle, as the price difference to upgrade between models is relatively minimal.
There is a Frontoni hedge cutter to fit every tractor, so please get in touch if you are unsure or require assistance, and we will find the best machine for your tractor.
Frontoni's powerful Duplex pump distinguishes it from many inferior hedge cutters. This pump powers the cutting head separately from the hydraulic arms, allowing you to move the cutting head position without draining power from the cutter, ensuring maximum cutting ability and a consistent finish.
All Frontoni Foxs come with a steel roller the entire length of the cutting head. This roller is essential when cutting close-to-ground, as it prevents accidentally scalping the blades into the dirt - this is an essential feature needed when clearing embankments, verges, ditches and roadside scrub.
A hedge cutter must cut on the left-hand side to legally cut on UK roads. Our Frontoni Hedgecutters are always configured to cut on the left-hand side when sold in the UK. Inferior and Chinese imports cut on the right, and cannot be used on public roads. In addition, Frontoni machines hold their resale value especially well due to their cutting orientation.
Our photographs may show cutting on either side, but we guarantee your machine will arrive left-hand cut.
Our Frontoni specialist will do all of the compatability checks for you, just get in touch. The main checks they will do are below:
The compatibility checks ensure your tractor's stability and safety. The hedge cutter's cutting head will move the centre of gravity of your tractor to one side, and these checks help ensure that the tractor does not tip over.
The lever cable controls can be mounted inside your cab, to your Roll-Over Protection Structure (ROPS), or anywhere comfortable. The levers control each hydraulic ram, as well as the cutting head.
For customers without a closed cab, ROPS and using a helmet with a Stihl-style visor is required for safety. This can be provided free of charge; simply select this optional extra option on our website.
Frontoni hedge cutters arrive assembled, oiled, greased, and ready for work.
If you do not have offloading equipment (a forklift, telehandler, frontloader etc), do not worry, as the Frontoni hedge cutters can be delivered by our specialist vehicles free of charge.
