SISIS Contra-Rotation Principle
The Rotorake principle incorporates a reel of blades rotating at high speed in the opposite direction to that of the conventional cylinder mower. The blades therefore cut upwards, continuously taking fibre away from the surface rather than pushing it into the surface. This also ensures that the machine is held to the ground and a regular working depth maintained.
