Heavy Duty Finishing Mower

INTRODUCTION

Buhler has been building top quality finishing mowers for 15 years and has refined these mowers to be among the best in the industry. Manufactured with top quality material, the edge of the mower deck features solid reinforcing rods. The Heavy Duty Finishing Mowers are Buhler Quick Hitch compatible and are available in widths ranging from 60" to 84".

Each mower features three high-speed blades with one of the highest rated tip-speeds in the industry. This creates powerful suction that lifts the grass for a crisp cut. A blade overlap prevents stripping and ensures the lawn is mowed evenly.

Buhler Farm King Heavy Duty Finishing Mowers are built to be durable and long lasting. Each wheel yoke assembly includes a cutting height adjustment on the 1" wheel yoke shaft. Bushings in the wheel hubs ensure long-term reliability without needing frequent lubrication. A slide adjustment is located under the gearbox for easy belt tensioning. Keep this manual handy for frequent reference. All new operators or owners must review the manual before using the equipment and at least annually thereafter. Contact your Buhler Dealer if you need assistance, information, or additional copies of the manual. Visit our website at www.buhler.com for a complete list of dealers in your area. The directions left, right, front and rear, as mentioned throughout this manual, are as seen facing in the direction of travel of the implement.
