DESCRIPTION
The Seppi SMO-250 Flail Mower is a premium-grade, tractor-mounted mulching solution engineered for professionals who demand consistent performance, long-lasting durability, and precision in every pass. With a generous 98-inch working width and compatibility with tractors from 55 to 160 HP, this flail mower is built for serious work in agriculture, land maintenance, and municipal operations.
Whether you're maintaining vineyards, mulching orchard prunings, clearing roadside brush, or managing pastures, the SMO-250 delivers clean, high-quality results with minimal passes. Designed for both front and rear mounting (ISO Cat. 2), it gives operators maximum flexibility in the field. The hydraulic linear side shift provides up to 11 inches (28 cm) of offset, making it easy to mow around obstacles, trees, or fence lines with precision even while the machine is in motion.
Constructed with a high-tensile steel chassis (S420) and double-wall 5 mm housing, the SMO-250 is made to handle demanding environments and prolonged use. Internally, two rows of hardened counter knives and a helical rotor equipped with 24 drop-forged hammer flails shred materials up to 2.8 inches (7 cm) thick. The adjustable rear roller, reinforced bearing system, and metal front safety flaps ensure optimal performance and safety across uneven terrain.
Its five-belt transmission, freewheel-equipped gearbox, and 1000 RPM PTO compatibility ensure smooth power delivery and long-lasting operation. With speeds ranging from 3 to 10 km/h, the SMO-250 balances precision with productivity.
This model is not just a mower it’s a professional mulching system designed to maximize tractor efficiency, protect soil structure, and reduce biomass volume while creating a cleaner, healthier field environment.
