Razorback to launch revolutionary mowers at LAMMA 2025

Designed with operator safety, efficiency, and machine longevity at the forefront, these innovative models promise to tackle some of the most pressing challenges faced in the industry.

At the core of these new machines is Razorback’s relentless focus on improving operational efficiency, reducing wear and tear, and enhancing user safety—ensuring that operators not only get the best performance from their machines but also peace of mind knowing they are investing in equipment that’s built to last.

Razorback 57 Reach Mower

The Razorback 57 Reach Mower, set to be one of the stars of LAMMA 2025, offers a combination of advanced technology, user-friendly design, and robust performance that will appeal to professionals looking for a reliable and efficient reach mower.

Based on the principles of tensegrity, the unique hitch system* suspends the Razorback 57 Reach Mower in a state of equilibrium ensuring superior stability across the machine.

Martin Lole, founder and end user explains the reason for the new development, “Commonly with standard 3-point linkage mountings, the weight of the hedgecutter with the head outstretched can put force on the tractors link arms causing them to lift and twist, damaging the tractor and leading to an unstable operation.

“In response to this, manufacturers develop various systems for improving stability including large heavy axle brackets, however these are awkward and time consuming to fit, and limits which tractor the implement can be fitted to.

“At Razorback, we have developed a unique hitch system based on the principles of tensegrity, which using a series of chains and turnbuckles, allow us to equalise the forces during operation, for a truly stable relationship between the hedgecutter and tractor.”

“Not only does this provide near perfect stability, but the system is easy to fit and adjust, and swapping the implement between tractors isn’t a chore”. 

Compact Design

Engineered with a compact tank to enhance operator visibility, the sleek and uncomplicated design not only simplifies maintenance but also improves airflow, ensuring efficient heat dissipation for optimal performance.

The compact footprint also improves balance, ensuring better control, especially when working on uneven terrain or at varying angles. This feature ultimately leads to a smoother, more efficient cutting experience, improving both safety and productivity.

In addition to the Razorback’s standard 1.2m or 1.5m flail head with whale tail flails and softstart rotor, the machine can be configured with an optional head control option. The Razorback Active Contour Intelligence system (ACI) is an intelligent active suspension that accurately tracks and reacts to the contours of the verge for hands-free height adjustment.

Speaking of the system, Martin Lole explains: “Our new ACI system has been designed specifically with verge mowing in mind, and as a means of reducing the manual adjustment required by the operator.”

“Featuring spring suspension the rear roller is free to actively track the ground contours and reacts when ground drops or rises outside of the preset parameters.”

“Operators can adjust these parameters to increase or reduce the sensitivity depending on the level of reaction required and acts as an assistant, reducing operator fatigue and improving productivity”.

Razorback Blade Rotary Mower

In addition to the Razorback 57 Reach Mower, Razorback will also be showcasing the new Blade Rotary Mower at LAMMA 2025. Designed with a strong emphasis on operator safety, the Razorback Blade Rotary Mower addresses a significant issue in agricultural machinery: PTO shaft protection.

Martin explains: “The Blade Rotary Mower has been specifically designed to address safety concerns surrounding power take-off shafts (PTO’s) and the ease at which they can be damaged during operation and thus pose a serious safety risk for operators.”

The Blade features a unique semi-mounted headstock** which ensures, even at tight turning circles, the PTO is protected from the tractors link arms which are the common cause of damage to PTO’s.

This new design also gives operators the freedom to turn tighter than conventional rotary mowers, all whilst protecting the PTO from damage.

“We are very pleased with the new machine and its ability to preserve the integrity of the PTO shafts which we so often see damaged across the industry. To operate a machine with a damaged shaft is not only a health and safety issue, but also a legal one, and in addition can be a costly replacement,” adds Martin.

Operator friendly features

With an integrated axle design, cutting height can be adjusted on the go, reducing downtime and setup. This one-touch control is further enhanced thanks to the Blade’s semi-mounted linkage, allowing operators to adjust cutting height on the go through adjustment of the tractors link arms.
Razorback have also addressed the wear on slip clutches typical of these types of mowers, opting for a free-swinging twin blade system with reduced horsepower requirements.
Compact blade carriers and a hardened short blade design delivers an exceptional cut at reduced power requirements, thus reducing overall wear and tear on the machine. Through clever design of the double skin deck, the Razorback Blade generates significant sward uplift to allow operators to cut at a range of heights, including achieving a taller clean cut conforming to the aviation industry’s long grass policy used to deter birds from airfields
