Slashers are exceptionally good at clearing and maintaining large areas of grass. They’re great for thick, high grass in particular. They are durable and can manage an area that may have hidden rocks and debris due to the slasher’s swing-back blades. They’re not as effective in terms of providing a lawn-like finish and will create windrows.

Tractor Slashers are best suited for clearing paddocks. Slashers have the ability to cut at various cutting heights generally by adjusting the skids and or jockey wheel. Slashers do have limitations in terms of how low they can cut; this combined with the type of blades they use does not allow a slasher to provide a lawn finish.
