    Hello folks,

    We recently bought a mounted claas 10ft mower with conditioneer.
    It's a great machine.

    Just wondering is there any issue with using this for topping.

    A few lads have said to me that its sever on the conditioneer. I would be running it at around 800rpm for topping.

    Just thought it would be handier to use this instead of having to look at a different mower.

    Thanks in advance

    Can you lift or disengage the conditioner?

    “We are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality.” George Orwell.

    I don't know about the conditioner, but if it's abrand new machine? or even a fresh one?all that cow dung your going to splatter around the underside of it by topping would be shameful if you don't mind me saying.

    get yourself a cheapish topper i would suggest. you wouldn't regret having it.

    Nobbies thanks for the reply. Yes that is a fair point but i was thinking a power washer should bring her to back to shine again.

    Castle keeper I'm afraid not it's a direct drive unit so can't be disengaged.

    Thanks for reply
