Scotts reponds to diquat ban with bigger haulm toppers

Scotts Precision Manufacturing has added a wider model to its haulm topper line-up in response to the burgeoning demand caused by the banning of diquat.

The Trinity 30B will be available in time for this year’s harvest and offers a cutting width of up to 3m, which means it is capable of handling either three 90cm- or four 75cm-wide rows.

New features include side lights, remote greasing points, front LED work lights and a metal toolbox.

Like the smaller 22B, the new 30B runs quick-change flails to reduce downtime and static shear plates to produce a mulching effect.

It also comes with a replaceable steel inner liner to protect the hood and has what Scotts claims is the largest variation of flail lengths of any topper currently available.
