Chipperfield HCT270P 2-Wheel Tractor with Scythe Bar
The Chipperfield HCT270P 2-Wheel Tractor is a powerful and versatile solution for managing long grass, overgrown areas and demanding ground-maintenance jobs. Supplied with a 1200mm scythe bar as standard, it is ideal for cutting tall grass, weeds and dense vegetation that would quickly overwhelm a conventional lawnmower.
Powered by a robust 270cc petrol engine, producing up to 6.5kW / 9hp, the HCT270P provides the strength required for larger gardens, paddocks, smallholdings, allotments and professional grounds-maintenance work. The scythe bar cuts vegetation close to the base without needing to collect or finely mulch the material, making it especially effective for rough, infrequently maintained areas.
Unlike a standard single-purpose machine, the HCT270P uses a PTO attachment system, allowing it to perform multiple jobs. A cultivator attachment can be added at checkout, transforming the machine into a powerful soil cultivator for preparing vegetable plots, flower beds and planting areas. This gives you one dependable power unit for both cutting vegetation and working the ground.
The built-in differential system helps improve manoeuvrability and control, particularly when turning or working across uneven terrain. With three forward gears and two reverse gears, the operator can select a suitable working speed for the attachment and ground conditions.
The adjustable handlebar can be positioned between -22° and 22°, helping the operator find a comfortable working position while maintaining control of the machine.
