The Cherry-Foster GG Super Scrubber range is ideal for controlling Bracken, Rushes, Gorse
and Heather as well as creating woodland rides and forestry fire breaks. These machines can
handle heavy stone conditions.
The GG1700X is designed for use with tractors in the 60 to 100hp range, whilst the GG2000X
has a cutting width of 6' 6" (2000mm), and is designed for use with tractors in the 100 to 130hp
range. Both models offer the option of a bolt on rear deflector assembly for use in heavy gorse
or light saplings in woodland to push over the material in readiness to be cut when used in
reverse.
The machine is constructed with heavy 6mm sides and top panel, substantially reinforced in
all vital areas with a pressed section superstructure to further improve strength and resistance
to stone damage, in addition to extensive box section reinforcement at the gearbox, skid and
tractor mountings. The machine also features a square rear profile to improve reverse cutting
performance, front and rear full width box section buffers fitted with heavy duty chain debris
guards to retain material for secondary cutting and tubular skids to minimise ground damage
when turning. The hinged headstock with twin suspension straps allow uneven ground
contours to be followed accurately.
Designed to be mounted in-line onto the rear 3 point linkage of a tractor, the machine is
powered by the tractor PTO, with the power transmitted through a direct drive gearbox to a
heavy duty rotor assembly with either three (1700) or four (2000) high tensile cutter chains or
blades attached. The direct drive system ensures that consistent performance in the most
arduous of conditions can be achieved without belt slippage or failure, and the system is
protected from overload with shearbolt and overun clutch protection. Please consult your
supplying dealer for details on further driveline protection including friction clutch /
gearbox options on the GG1700X.
Operating height is adjustable with the option of 3", 5" or 7" cutting heights for varying
applications. Unique tubular skids, reinforced at wearing points minimize ground or turf
damage when turning and skid height is adjusted by a simple pin system eliminating the use
of tools. All machines have in-line linkage to assist with stability when working in hilly or steep
land, and the A frame is free floating to allow the machine to follow the contours of the ground
in operation.
The high tensile chain cutters are used for all heavy conditions including woodland and scrub
growth to 1½" (38mm) diameter and are more practical than blades in stony conditions.
The high tensile blades cut grass and rushes cleanly, also bracken and heather in light stone
conditions, and require less tractor PTO horse-power than chains. Blade and Chain Cutters
can be interchanged in less than 15 minutes utilising the same rotor hub.
