Rhino Apex 3150 Series Flex Wing Slasher - Product Overview
May 24, 2024 Posted by Brittany Cunningham
Are you looking for a slasher with a greater working width to get your pastures topped faster, or to knock down crop stubble so the breakdown process can begin, or just to tidy up roadsides and greens? Whatever your application, efficiency is key, and a Rhino slasher may be just the ticket to get you there. Let's take a look at some of the features that make the Rhino 3150 Flexwing a cut above the rest.
Working Width & Transport
One of the standout features of the Rhino 3150 Flexwing Slasher is its impressive working width of 4.5 meters, providing excellent coverage. Despite its broad reach, it folds down to a compact 2.45 meters wide by 2 meters high for easy and safe road travel.
Build Quality
This unit is built tough, weighing approximately 2.35 tons. It features a smooth Apex deck design that facilitates easy trash clearance and cleaning, offering a larger cutting chamber. The deck is constructed from durable 3.4mm steel, complemented by a hefty 6mm side skid to take the brunt of the hard work. All of this is protected by a premium powder coat finish.
The operational wing flex degree of 90 up and 25 down adds versatility, and you can even disengage one wing for reduced operating width in narrower applications.
Performance
The Rhino 3150 is packed with practical features, including an LED light kit and a pivot hitch. It also has a safety cover that ensures safe operation while being easily removable for maintenance.
This model runs on 8 Rhino trax© tyres, providing increased traction and puncture protection, ensuring trouble-free slashing with minimal downtime.
Running Gear
The unit operates at a standard 540 PTO speed, with an option for 1000 RPM. The gearbox setup includes a central 160hp gearbox leading to three 130hp rotor gearboxes, all covered by a 5-year warranty for peace of mind.
Hydraulic height adjustment for the deck and hydraulic wing lift come standard, along with independent suspension. This means you get smooth operation and consistent cutting height without stressing or damaging components on uneven ground.
Blades & Safety
The cutting height ranges from 2” to 14”, thanks to the unique blade pan carrier designed to protect the rotor and driveline from damage in rough conditions. The 12mm by 100mm stepped blades create lift, delivering a superior cut and finish. Front and rear chains add an extra layer of safety during operation.
Is the Rhino 3150 Flexwing Right for You?
With all these fantastic features, the Rhino 3150 Flexwing Slasher is a powerful and versatile unit that could significantly benefit your operation. However, it's essential to consider if it fits your needs. Do you have large areas to utilise its extra working width, or would maneuvering in small paddocks be challenging? Do you need to boost your slashing efficiency, or is a large unit overkill for your occasional needs?
