Product Description
Farmer Helper | Ditch Bank Flail Mower | FH-AGF Series | 55″ To 71″ Working Width | Horsepower 45 To 85 HP | For Tractor
DESCRIPTION
Experience the power and precision of the Ditch Bank Flail Mower, a heavy-duty solution designed to tackle heavy brush, including grasses, debris, sticks, vines, branches, and other wooded materials up to 4 inches in diameter. The mower head, attached to a hydraulic arm, can pivot up to 90 degrees for hedge or hillside work or down 55 degrees for ditch or bank work, ensuring versatility in various applications.
When connected to the optional 4-way hydraulic control valve with a hydraulic float, this flail mower adapts to the contours of the terrain for a smooth and even cut. Unlike traditional mowers that throw grass, the flail mower cuts finely and leaves the cuttings on the ground, making it an ideal choice for sensitive areas where debris could cause damage. This is why the Ditch Bank Flail Mower is a popular option for highway mowing and park maintenance, as it minimizes the risk of throwing objects during cutting
