The RoboFlail clearing heavy bramble and scrub near Salisbury
Robo flail out busy this week clearing scrubby banks near Castle Combe
Charlie with the Robo Flail is busy this week, clearing scrubby banks near Castle Combe as part of a grassland restoration project.


Cut and collect flail working well
Here, the video shows the Valtra 121 is fitted with a cut and collect flail to clear 5-year old scrub regrowth to help the chalk grassland and nearby Juniper. The site was cleared 5 years ago. The ability of the machine to collect the cut materials prevents the nutrient level from being raised in the soil. This helps with chalk grassland and wildflowers as they prefer a low level of soil fertility to prevent being outcompeted by other species.
And the pics show Toby out on the cut and collect flail clearing scrub as part of chalk grassland management
Scrub clearance – mulching
Erecting a new fence? First, you need to find the one you are replacing…. (happily made easy with the Robo Flail!) (pic 1)
And the Robo Flail out and about in Cheltenham at the end of September. (pics 2 & 3)
And if you thought we had pensioned off our other mulching machinery, see our ‘proper’ Seppi mulcher out mid-August, clearing an area for ground investigation (no sound with this video)

Scrub Clearance with the Robo Flail
The Robo flail clearing paths alongside the River Test
Our project here on this world-famous chalk stream was to clear the paths alongside the riverside for access and for fishermen.
From Wiki: “The River Test is a chalk stream in Hampshire. Much of the Test is a 438-hectare (1,080-acre) biological SSSI Site of Special Scientific Interest.[1][3] The river is used for fly fishing for trout from its source to its tidal limit”

Our Seppi Forestry Mulcher dealing with heavy and dense vegetation
Tidy Friday: mulching an area next to a security fence near Larkhill. Our Robo Flails are great, but the Seppi Mulcher is better here and deals with heavy and dense vegetation with ease.
An older but very efficient workhorse in our fleet, and built to last.
