SM Services Boosts Efficiency with Flail-Tec’s E3-80-F Mulcher
Cutting Mulching Time in Half and Slashing Maintenance Costs.
The challenge
Finding the Right Fit for Modern Agricultural Mulching
When Sean from SM Services, based in Lynton, Essex, set out to upgrade his mulching equipment, he faced a familiar challenge: finding a machine that was tough enough to handle heavy agricultural workloads — but also light enough to suit an 8-ton excavator fitted with an Engcon hitch.
After extensive searching, Sean found that most mulchers on the market either lacked the durability required or were simply too heavy for his setup.
That’s when Flail-Tec’s E3-80-F caught his eye — and the results have been outstanding.
