TractorTopper Mower

Topper Mower

A topper mower is used to trim or cut the upper section of grasses, small saplings, and other vegetation. These mowers are commonly used in fields, meadows, and paddocks to maintain a consistent grass height, which is important for both agriculture and landscaping. They can be towed with an ATV or attached to compact tractors.

These grass-topping attachments are popular among farmers and landowners who manage large grounds. A tractor topper mower connects to the back of a tractor using a three-point hitch system, making attachment and removal simple. 

They are built for durability and can handle frequent use. Tractor paddock toppers come in various sizes and designs for different mowing needs. Usage frequency will vary depending on the climate and vegetation growth but generally occurs a few times a year.

Topper Mower Applications
