New mulchers hit the market

Manufactured in Italy by the Nobili company, the power-take-off mulchers are designed for grass and crop residue management, and cleaning up orchard and vineyard prunings.

The Nobili BE range has four working widths from 1400 millimetres to 2000mm in 200mm increments, offering ideal matches for tractors from 26 to 48 kilowatts (35 to 65 horsepower).

This range is ideal for grass mowing and for the reduction of green prunings up to 38mm in diameter.

The shredding of the ground cover or pruned material is achieved by the choice of blades that are either straight, or in a Y shape inclusive of a straight blade, or as a cast light hammer or a heavy duty hammer for the larger horsepower versions.

The BE series has a low profile body and is supplied ready to work with a PTO drive shaft and protective safety cover, a heavy duty oil bath gearbox with overrun clutch and taper-locked pulleys.

The rotor shaft is also electronically balanced during manufacture for smooth spinning operation.

There is also a choice of a hydraulic side shift for operation around trees or posts.

Also newly added to the Nobili Mulcher range is the BV PRO range which is the heavy duty mulching choice for orchards and for roadside mulching by councils and contractors.

Its feature is the ability to handle grass growth and prunings such as branches or twigs up to 63mm in thickness.

The three Nobili BV PRO working widths are 1680mm, 1860mm and 2040mm and they are a match for tractors from 44 to 88Kw (or 60 to 120HP).

The body of this series has a double thickness with two mulching bars fitted, a restrictor bar and rakes which will ensure the breakdown of all the vegetative material to a fine mulch that is evenly distributed in the wake of the machine.

The height control is provided by an adjustable full with rear roller with side shift to the right hand side available as standard with an optional hydraulic side shift.
