In addition, the Grifus series is prepared for both the hydraulic inter-row wheel (diameter 400-600-800 mm) and the hydraulic inter-row flail mower with a working width of 500 mm. The wheel and flail mower are part of the new "Bio Friendly Range" designed for inter-row work to avoid the use of harmful chemical herbicides.
