Overview
The entry level folding offering in the STARCUT range of professional rotary mulchers
from Spearhead Machinery Ltd is the STARCUT 500.
With mid-size agricultural, professional contractor and local authority applications
very much in mind, the five metre cutting width of the STARCUT 500 is expected to
generate significant levels of interest given the inherent design quality and extensive
build specification.
Manufactured to the same exacting standards, and possessing the same innovative
design characteristics as the other models in the STARCUT range, the only discernible
difference is the operational cutting width.
• 5.0 metre Cutting Width
• Heavy Duty 250HP Input Gearboxes
• Heavy Duty 116HP Rotor Gearboxes
• Hydraulically Folding to Transport width of 2.8M
• Wide Angle Constant Velocity Joints on PTO

Design
|
The STARCUT Rotary Mulcher series has been designed to form the stylish characteristic
delta shape. This serves a practical purpose in the collection and distribution
of mulched vegetation creating a far more even spread. A totally new streamlined
exterior also speeds up the cleaning down of the machine post operation. Additional
design features include integrated hose routing; unique monocoque deck structure
and clean input for free material flow. Another key development is the ability to
attach additional implements to the rear of the machine.

Blade Options
|
Six-blade configuration
The HD6 rotor is the preferred rotor for the operator who is working in rough and
testing conditions such as those found in wet maize and corn fields or military
training areas. Providing a fine mulch finish and increased cutting power in dense
material the lower blade is angled slightly to provide the same close contact as
the MP6 system. Based on the award winning MULTISTAR system found on Spearhead’s
MULTICUT Range the HD6 is a development aimed specifically at extreme stubble mulching.
• Anti-Scalping Blade pan Protection
• Heavy Duty Boron Steel Blades
• 6 Long Blades for increased cutting power
• 2 cutting planes for double cut
• Updraft Blades lift material into the cutting zone

Six-blade Configuration
The MP6 rotor is the first choice for the most efficient and economical output in
crop stubble situations. Angled, fully rotational swinging lower blades mean that
efficiency is increased allowing a faster forward speed with a lower power requirement.
A further three blades are mounted in a higher, straight plane to ensure vegetation
is finely mulched, aiding crop spread and fast decomposition.
• Anti-Scalping Blade Pan Protection
• 2 cutting planes for a double cut
• Heavy Duty Long Life Blades
• 6 blades per rotor for enhanced mulching
• Updraft Blades lift material into the cutting zone
• Low inertia blade for soft start up
