Sundown Heavy-Duty Flail Mower | Model FM-100 To FM-220 | Cutting Width 39" To 87" | 30 To 60 HP | For Tractor
DESCRIPTION
Built for landowners, farmers, and contractors who demand clean cuts and rugged reliability, the Sundown Flail Mower delivers professional-grade vegetation control across pastures, orchards, roadsides, and fields. Designed for 30–60 HP tractors, this mower uses a high-speed rotor spinning at 2,083 RPM to pulverize grass, weeds, brush, and crop residue into fine mulch. Its hydraulic side shift allows precise trimming around fences, trees, and edges, while the rear roller and adjustable cutting height (1"–3.5") ensure smooth, even results. With multiple widths from 39" to 87", Cat 1 & 2 compatibility, and a reinforced powder-coated frame, Sundown flail mowers are built to work harder, last longer, and leave your land looking professionally maintained.
