Video of my Dexta and Topper

Post by Prototype »

Here is a link to a video of my 1959 Dexta clearing some saplings with a Topper. The land was mulched only 10 months ago

What topper is that? Does it have chain flails or blades?

That's an interesting screen you have on your roll frame. How's it made and what's it for?

Unusual place for a PTO guard. :eyes:

That is just a belt driven Wessex Topper with blades. The PTO shaft was seized and the covers were broken so we decided to put mesh and perspex behind the driver to stop flying debri and stones hitting him. Not ideal I know but we couldn't afford a new shaft.

I would have the mesh there anyway just as a guard. :wink:
