The best mower for the best cut
Buhler Farm King has been making finishing mowers for more than 15 years. Three of these finishing mowers together create one magnificent volume grass trimmer: the Triplex Finishing Mower. Nine blades generate a powerful vacuum for a crisp, clean cut. Each deck floats independently over rolling terrain for a uniform, manicured trim. There is a 1 ⅝" blade overlap on the YT450, while all the other models have a 2 ⅝" blade over- lap. This overlap helps to prevent stripping, especially when turning. The standard front UHMW roller prevents scalping on uneven turf. A
Transporting with ease
Whether moving from the third fairway to the tenth, or from one side of the city to the other, the Triplex Finishing Mower is designed to be transported with ease. A cast clevis hitch is standard and a 2 5/16" ball hitch is optional for road transport. The 5- position hitch adjustment makes it easy to move, regardless of the hitch height of the tow vehicle. The decks are lifted into position by hydraulic cylinders and are auto- matically locked in place for transport. Upon arrival at the destination, the decks are unlocked right from the tractor seat using a cable, or can be released using the optional hydraulic system. Either way, it makes moving to a new location easy.
Wheels and hubs
The model YT750 has four wheels on each of the three decks. Models YT650 and YT550 have four wheels on the wing decks and two on the center deck. The YT450 has three wheels on the wing decks and two on the center deck. Each wheel yoke assembly includes a cutting height adjustment on the 1 ¼”wheel yoke shaft. Tapered roller bearings in the wheel hubs ensure
