It works, the hiller is better to take a single-row, because for two-row power it is still not enough. With milling cutters it goes confidently, without distortions and slipping. There is a clear drawback. the clutch cable constantly flies out, I try to release the clutch handle as gently as possible, then it releases it, and you correct it every now and then. try to get there. ”

Alexey, 25 years old:

“My Hulk is only a year old, worked the lossless season, though the cutters are a bit soft, I’m thinking about acquiring new ones, and maybe I’ll do the ones I need. Something left of the old Neva. it fits perfectly on the walk-behind tractor. While I’m taking a closer look, I’ll check how it comes out of the winter, how it will behave as a whole. ”
