You are looking to cut your wicket at around 3-4mm. We produce a variety of machines that will provide a precision cut for this purpose.
The Allett Shaveris a beautifully balanced machine with a height of cut range from 2.4mm-19mm perfect for maintaining cricket wickets (3-10mm) and even squares(10-14mm). The Shaver is available in a 20’’ or 24’’ model and is fitted with micrometer-type quick cutting height adjuster enabling fast and easy height of cut change. The machine can be operated at low engine speeds delivering low fuel consumption, noise levels and vibration.

Another perfect option for cutting a wicket would be the C20 or C24 machine which are interchangeable cartridge machines. Both machines have a height of cut range equivalent to that of the Shaver and Tournament (2.4mm-19mm) perfect for both wickets and even the square (10-14mm). The additional benefit of the C20/C24 machines is that you can insert various cartridges into the unit for a wide range of tasks including brushing, scarifying and verticutting amongst others. This versatility greatly extends the cost effectiveness of the C range units enhancing the value of the investment. There is no fitted groomer with this machine however you have the cartridges to fulfil that role. Find out more about the C20/C24 here
