This week on Winterwood Farm we have taken delivery of our 50hp Kubota tractor which came with a 3 in 1 front end loader and a mulching mower.
The Mulching mower of flail mower can handle heavy grasses while also providing a beautiful finished cut. A mulcher does not create windrows rather they leave an evenly distributed mulched bi-product. Which decomposes quickly and puts many necessary inputs back into the soil. This assists in preventing erosion and improves soil structure and fertility. It also reduces the chance of disease infestation. Mulching is effective for weed and pest control and over time a mulched paddock will require less fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides.
Mulching mowers are also very popular in the bush for their ability to create firebreaks and remove fuel loads to help shut down potentially deadly grass fires.
The horses also just got some new coats in time for some very cold weather, -5C in the mornings!
