DRC Contracting (Henley) Ltd.
Providers of services using specialist equipment to farmers, equestrians, estates & gardeners in the Thames Valley for over 30 years.
Flail mowing/ topping, spraying, fertilising & weed-wiping. We have machines that are fairly unique at what they do. They are capable all-terrain vehicles designed to cope with banks, hills and rough stuff. Where it makes sense, they are GPS enabled and use cutting edge systems for efficient application control.
Based in the Stonor valley, we generally service a 20 mile radius of Henley-on-Thames, but regularly go further afield on request.
Please contact us using the enquiry form or calling either Derek (07774 658135) or Oli (07747 788567).
NEW TO THE FLEET
Hammer flail toppers are usually attached to tractors. They cut and mulch all but thicker woody stems, returning the mulched cuttings back to the soil as a natural fertiliser.
Flails are used where the ground is uneven; rocks, roots and stumps likely lurk. Unlike a traditional mower (cylinder or rotary), the sharpened hammers are hinged, so when they hit a solid object, they flex around it.
"Micro-mulchers" are relatively new. Jeremy Clarkson recently raved about his new favourite machine 'Wally' the robo-mulcher in the Clarkson's Farm series. The Racoon uses the same hammer-flail action, but instead of being robotic, it is a ride-on.
4WD, so it'll go most places and will munch saplings, brambles, thistles and woody trunks to around 2cm in diameter. More manoeuvrable than a tractor; more efficient than strimming, better value than a robo.
If you have an area that has been 'avoided' for a while, get in contact.
