Reaper Saw Head 600 — Excavator Saw Head | Built in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland

Manufacturing excavator attachments since 1993 — over 30 years of experience building machines for forestry and agricultural contractors across Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and England.

Planning ahead for the hedge cutting season? The hedge cutting season runs from 1 September to 28 February. Every Reaper Saw Head requires a custom headstock built to your excavator measurements — get in touch with Gary early to check availability and avoid missing the start of the season. Call 07734 357045.

The Reaper Saw Head 600 is a precision circular saw head designed for forestry and agricultural contractors who need clean, accurate cutting on mid-range excavators. Fitted as standard with a 600mm Fine Cut Hardox 450 saw blade, it cuts branches and stems up to 350mm diameter with precision and control. Ideal for hedge management contracts, farm boundary clearance, road verge maintenance and forestry scrub clearance. Hand-built to order at our workshop in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. Used by contractors across Northern Ireland, ROI and England.

If you are running a 4 to 8 ton machine, you know how the season works — six months to earn what you need for the year, and half of those days can disappear to wet ground that will not let you on the field. When you do get on site, you need your saw head to perform without fuss and without costing you money every time a blade wears down. That is exactly what the Reaper 600 is built for.

The Reaper Blade Re-Tipping Service — Available from McElhill Engineering Ltd

Every Reaper Saw Head 600 comes with one 600mm Fine Cut Hardox 450 blade included as standard. Rough Cut blades are available on request as an alternative — call to discuss pricing. When the teeth wear down from use, bring the blade back to our Fermanagh workshop rather than replacing it outright.

For rough cut blades, we weld new teeth back on. For fine cut blades, we recut the teeth back into the blade — a more precise process that restores the blade to full working condition.

Every blade we supply is made from Hardox 450 steel, manufactured in our own Fermanagh workshop — which is what gives us the knowledge and capability to restore them properly. The result is a longer life for your blade and real money saved over the life of the machine. Call 07734 357045 to discuss re-tipping your existing blade.

Custom Headstock — Built to Your Measurements

To get your Reaper Saw Head 600 fitted correctly, simply send Gary your excavator headstock measurements and we will build the headstock to match your machine. Please note: hydraulic pipes are not supplied with the Reaper Saw Head — you will need to source and fit your own pipes. The customer fits the attachment onto their own excavator. If your machine ever needs servicing, blade re-tipping or repair, bring it back to our Fermanagh workshop and we will get it sorted as quickly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my excavator?

The Reaper 600 fits any make and model in the 4–8 ton range. A custom headstock is built to your measurements as standard. Call 07734 357045 and we will confirm your specific machine.

Does it come with a blade?

Yes — every Reaper Saw Head 600 comes with one 600mm Fine Cut Hardox 450 blade included in the price as standard. Rough Cut blades available on request as an alternative — call to discuss pricing. When the blade wears down, bring it back to us. We re-tip rough cut blades by welding new teeth back on. For fine cut blades, we recut the teeth back into the blade. Either way, you get the blade back working rather than paying for a full replacement.

We keep a selection of sizes available so lead times vary — you may not have to wait long. Every machine requires a custom headstock built to your measurements. Call Gary on 07734 357045 to check what is currently available.

Yes — all servicing, blade re-tipping and maintenance is carried out in our own Fermanagh workshop, meaning faster turnaround and less downtime for you during the cutting season.
