This Flail Mower has been designed with care and built by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly, maintenance and safe operating practices will help you get years of satisfactory use from the machine.

Application

The medium duty FM2060 and FM2072 Series Flail Mowers are designed and built by to provide excellent cutting performance on gently sloping or slightly contoured grassy right-of ways, roadsides, ditches, pastures, nurseries, and smaller fields of light row crop debris, stalks, and residual agricultural trash. The 60" and 72" cutting widths and 3/4" to 4" cutting height and ability to cut weeds and brush up to 1" in diameter makes these flail mowers well suited for nursery and agricultural applications where grass, brush, pruning’s, small saplings, and cotton residue are present. Either model equipped with fine cut knives will perform extremely well cutting material up to 1" in diameter or provide a very respectable quality of cut for grooming yards, municipal parks, medians, or right of ways.

Both models offer a Cat. 1 three-point hitch for tractors not to exceed 55 PTO horsepower. The three point hitches on both models offer centered mounting or offset capability 6" to the right making them even more desirable for cutting in and around trees with extremely low hanging branches. Both models also offer a Cat. 4 and 540rpm shielded driveline. The FM2060 and FM2072 Flail Mowers, with their horizontal cutting rotor design, also provide for greatly reduced potential of launching projectiles out from under the mower making them an excellent choice for state and municipal mowing applications.
