Dropping embers fall to the ground and smoulder in a quick-drying peat layer up to five feet deep.

Schulte's Proven Design and Long History of Dependability
When you’ve been around for 11 decades-plus, you must be doing something right. That’s especially true when your manufacturing company started in Englefeld, Saskatchewan and has now won over customers from way down the southern states, who are saying things like this: “After our company switched to Schulte, our revenue per cutter went up 33%... We think the Schulte cuts better, period. It’s unbelievable the quality of cut that we can get at what we would call a high rate of mowing speed.
