Hedge Trimming

Consider how the job should be tackled before commencing work, as no two hedges have the same height, width, thickness or density of growth. Hedges which have previously been cut by machine tend to have denser growth, and although they can be cut to any desired shape, it is advisable to trim the same shape and height as previous years.

The flails cause the growth to "tiller' and thicken up the hedge. Therefore it is advisable to cut the hedge side at a slight angle rather than straight, otherwise the hedge may eventually die at the bottom due to lack of light.

Below are a few hints on how to tackle a hedge.

A.First trim the top down to previous years's trim in one cut, but do not cut into it, as the old growth will be very thick and strong and cause premature wear to the flail cutting edges.

B.Next trim the sides to the previous trim but not into it.

NOTE: Do not angle the rotor unit so that any debris is thrown through the hedge when trimming the far side of the hedge. Always ensure cut material is directed away from you or on to the ground.

C. Finally, lower the roller and trim along the bottom of the hedge to clear debris and undergrowth.

Stalling the Rotor

If the rotor does become choked the tractor will stall or the relief valve will operate. If this occurs follow the instructions below.

A.Stop forward movement and disengage rotor drive immediately and place PTO drive lever in neutral.

B.Ensure that the rotor has stopped and lift the rotor unit using the hydraulics.

C.Stop tractor engine engage parking brake and wait for all rotation to come to a complete stop.

D.Remove any obstruction that may be present on the rotor. If working under the raised machine ensure that it is safely supported.

E.NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES run the rotor to "clear itself".

RBF-19C specifications

The Tiger RBF-19C is a remarkable example of advanced unmanned aerial technology, designed primarily for reconnaissance and battlefield surveillance. This drone has garnered attention for its exceptional capabilities and cutting-edge features that make it a valuable asset for military and defense operations.

One of the standout characteristics of the RBF-19C is its high-altitude endurance. The drone is engineered to operate at significant elevations, which allows it to cover vast terrains while remaining undetected. With a maximum altitude capability of 20,000 feet, it can conduct prolonged missions, gathering intelligence over hostile areas without risking human pilots.

Under the hood, the Tiger RBF-19C incorporates advanced sensor technologies that enable it to deliver real-time data. Equipped with high-definition cameras, multispectral sensors, and infrared technology, it can capture detailed images and videos even in adverse weather conditions and low-light environments. This capability significantly enhances situational awareness for ground forces, making decision-making faster and more efficient.

Another notable feature of the RBF-19C is its extended operational range. The drone can maintain a communication link over distances exceeding 200 kilometers, enabling it to operate far beyond the frontline. This extended range allows for strategic reconnaissance missions, providing vital intelligence without exposing personnel to danger.

In terms of maneuverability, the Tiger RBF-19C is designed for versatility. It features a robust flight control system that allows for nimble navigation in complex environments. The drone can perform various flight patterns, including loitering and waypoint navigation, which is particularly useful for surveillance missions where constant observation of a target is crucial.

Moreover, the RBF-19C is built with a modular design, allowing for quick modifications and upgrades to suit different mission requirements. This adaptability ensures that it can be easily retrofitted with new technology or payloads, keeping it relevant amidst rapidly evolving warfare tactics.

Lastly, the RBF-19C is renowned for its stealth capabilities. Designed with a low radar cross-section and noise-reduction technologies, it minimizes its visibility to enemy radar systems, enabling covert operations. This attribute is essential for missions that require undetected data gathering.

In conclusion, the Tiger RBF-19C represents a significant advancement in drone technology, combining endurance, advanced sensors, extended range, and stealth. Its sophisticated design and operational capabilities make it an invaluable tool for modern military forces, enhancing their ability to carry out reconnaissance and maintain situational awareness on the battlefield.
