While a neatly trimmed patch of grass of whatever size might look like a civilised, gentle bit of collaboration between plant life and human beings, there is a lot more to it than that. Leave that patch to its own devices for a while and it will revert to type, which to us looks like growing wild. The gardener or groundsman wants to see uniformity and order in that swathe of green.
While rewilding might be an appropriate option for a few, destined to be featured in the gardening section of a Sunday paper, the vast majority of us want our grass tamed and orderly, and if it has been allowed to grow unchecked before we reach the primping stage involving a subtle machine, we might have to bring in the big guns. It’s not so much a question of finishing mower vs slasher, because they are not in competition. They can be part of the same process, the slasher paving the way for the finish mower.
How the Slasher Paves the Way
Everybody who tends to grass needs a finishing mower because it puts the finishing touches to the area, producing the resulting smoothness that has people talking about green baize and billiard tables. But in certain applications, before we reach that stage and before the decorators move in, we need the building machinery, which in this case means something with the strength and swashbuckling capability to knock your overgrown, swaying patch into shape. Slasher vs finishing mower, if you like. The slasher followed by the finishing mower, in fact.
Degrees of Difficulty: Slasher Options
Depending on the nature of what you’re dealing with, you might need a lightweight slasher, or to continue the boxing analogy, a middleweight or even a heavyweight: all tough characters suited to certain types of jobs.
If you want to get technical, our slashers range from 40HP with adjustable side skids and body reinforcement through 75 HP with a 5mm plate body with Z-formed front and rear aprons for maximum strength, and on up to a real high ratio gearbox with 300mm underbody clearance from blade cutting edge with swing back blades and multi-leaf bisalloy blade beams.

Finish mower vs slasher: maybe you only need the finisher or maybe you also need the slasher, to restore order in the first place. Our customers range from people with sizeable gardens to councils with parks to look after (and those can come in a variety of styles) to those who supply turf for sports grounds.
Whatever your application, we’ve got what you need.
