Seppi | Flail Mower | Model SMO-175 | Working Width 69" | Engine Horsepower Minimum 40 HP | For Tractors
DESCRIPTION
The Seppi SMO-175 Flail Mower is a rugged, high-performance mulching machine designed for tractor operators who demand precision, durability, and versatility in land maintenance. With a working width of 69 inches and a required tractor horsepower range of 40–160 HP, this flail mower is ideal for managing vegetation in orchards, vineyards, pastures, roadside shoulders, and other medium-to-large acreage applications.
Built for long-term reliability, the SMO-175 features a double-skinned housing made from high-tensile steel (S420) to withstand harsh field conditions. Its drop-forged hammer flails effortlessly shred brush, grass, and woody prunings up to 3 inches (7 cm) in diameter, leaving behind a fine, consistent mulch that improves soil health and appearance.
A standout feature is the linear hydraulic side shift, allowing the operator to shift the mower up to 11 inches (28 cm) sideways directly from the tractor seat. This precise offset enables close mowing along fences, tree lines, and ditches perfect for orchards or vineyards where maneuverability is critical.
The Seppi SMO-175 is equipped with an 85 HP-rated gearbox featuring an integrated overrunning clutch, safeguarding the machine’s driveline. The rear adjustable support roller follows ground contours to maintain even cutting height, reduce scalping, and enhance mowing results on uneven terrain.
Designed for use with Category 1 & 2, 3-point hitches, and offering both front and rear mounting capability, the SMO-175 adapts to a wide range of tractors and operating conditions. Whether you're maintaining a farm, reclaiming overgrown land, or managing commercial landscaping, the Seppi SMO-175 delivers outstanding mulching quality and operational efficiency.
