Seppi | Flail Mower | Model SMO-225 | Working Width 89" | Engine Horsepower Minimum 50 HP | For Tractors
DESCRIPTION
The Seppi SMO-225 Flail Mower is a professional-grade mulching solution designed for demanding agricultural, landscape, and roadside maintenance applications. Built to handle heavy vegetation and high-acreage workloads, this robust flail mower delivers exceptional performance with tractors ranging from 50 to 160 horsepower, making it a versatile and indispensable tool for farmers, municipalities, and landowners alike.
With a wide 89-inch (225 cm) working width, the SMO-225 is engineered to efficiently cut and mulch grass, cover crops, brush, and prunings up to 2.8 inches (7 cm) in diameter. Its high-tensile steel housing, forged hammer flails, and dual internal counter knives guarantee an exceptionally clean and uniform mulching result, even on tough, uneven terrain.
One of the mower’s standout features is its linear hydraulic side shift, allowing operators to adjust the cutting path by up to 11 inches (28 cm) from the cab ideal for maneuvering around fence lines, trees, vineyard rows, or orchard trunks. The unique pyramid-shaped 3-point hitch design enables both front and rear mounting, offering flexible setup options based on tractor configuration or operator preference.
The flail rotor is built with a helical design for balanced power distribution and smoother operation, reducing strain on the tractor’s driveline. Paired with an 85 HP gearbox with integrated overrunning clutch and five reinforced belts, this mower is built for durability, safety, and extended service life in even the harshest conditions.
Additional features such as a height-adjustable rear roller, metal safety flaps, and an adjustable rear discharge hood (M-FLAP) allow for customized operation to match field conditions and mulching requirements. Whether you're clearing orchard floors, maintaining roadside ditches, mowing pastures, or managing cover crops, the Seppi SMO-225 offers reliable performance, maximum operator control, and unmatched durability.
