How do casters prevent scalping?
The BrushMaster® has an out front cutter that is supported by casters. The casters are positioned to prevent scalping. Other types of machines have cutters with skids at the outer extremities of a drum. These skids are one inch below the drum. The problem encountered with this design is that the ground is rarely level and the machine will be cutting dirt almost continuously. Blades on drum cutters must be sharpened or replaced frequently. Casters are much more effective at preventing the cutters from digging into the ground.
