SISIS Contra – Rotation Principle
The Rotorake principle incorporates a series of blades rotating at high speed in the opposite direction to that of the conventional cylinder mower. The blades therefore cut upwards, continuously taking grass fibre away from the surface rather than pushing it into the surface of the turf. This also ensures that the machine is held to the ground and a regular working depth maintained.
