DH230 & HT230
Details
Our DH230 and HT230 models have been designed to deliver great reliablity and performance. The DH230 is available with either a 24 or 30-inch double-sided cutting blade. Both DH and HT models are equipped with dual-action cutting blades, and a centrifugal clutch with redesigned clutch shoes that resist shock loads. The HT230 is available with either a 30 or 40-inch single-sided cutting blade and an optional deflector shield allowing you to sweep away trimmings from the hedge.
