Overview
McConnel's Variable Forward Reach (VFR) armset enables operators to adjust the position of the cutting head alongside the tractor for improved comfort, visibility and safety.
Ideal for both verge-mowing and hedge-cutting, the system is extremely versatile and enables cutting anywhere along an adjustable cutting range from fully forward to behind the tractor.
