Central to the setup is a double A-frame headstock, and twin folding rams hold the tiller in a constant place, giving firm downward pressure from the machine’s rear hoods.

Jane can work to a maximum depth of 270mm and comes in a range of widths from 4.28m to 6.28m, but can be adjusted to suit different bed-forming requirements with additional wedges.

The main rotor and bearings are fully sealed, while the oil-immersed gear drive for each rotor is protected from dry and dusty conditions, as well as being submerged in water.

Starting at £41,989, the Jane 520 model can be specced with a quick-fit blade system that uses one bolt to fit two blades, and a new internal hood fitted on many of Maschio’s larger Rotavator models.
